when I fire volt server in the terminal, it gives me this error message

Unable to connect to the database. Volt will still run, but the message bus requires a database connection to setup connections between nodes, so the message bus has been disabled. This means updates will not be propigated between instances (server, console, runners, etc...)

It didn't use to do this before. Even if I delete the repository, generate a new one, fresh, clean, untouched, it still gives me this error. Do I need to install a mongo DB viewer?

By default Volt expects MongoDB to be running locally, so install MongoDB and it should all work fine

  • Ah, definitely something worth including in the docs, especially for newer people =] It's so strange that it didn't throw this before, when I didn't have mongo, just the same. Is it preferable/better/more compatible to install it via homebrew rather than manually? does it matter much? – ahnbizcad Jun 28 '15 at 07:26
  • Yeah I recommend homebrew for everything on a mac, makes maintaining updates and dependencies easier – dangerous.beans Jun 28 '15 at 07:35

    gotta follow http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/?_ga=1.183910502.1780934689.1435476430 carefully. when in doubt, call upon the power of `sudo` – ahnbizcad Jun 28 '15 at 11:19
