Trying to follow: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/quickstart/
I make multiple directories, dev1, dev2, dev3 After I start riak one time it gives me this error the second time
sudo /usr/sbin/riak start
Node is already running!
How do I run multiple nodes from the same machine? It's only for learning purposes at this point.
you must start riak which is in devN directories. Kind of
dev1/bin/riak start
dev2/bin/riak start
etc ets.
the point is -- riak gets settings from vm.args file. To start multiple instances of riak on the same computer you need to have multiple instances of vm.args files. Several dev directories helps you to keep as many vm.args files (and data directories) as you want
