I’m new to Akka and I’m working through Jason Goodwin’s well written book Learning Akka. His examples use activator though, and since activator is gone I’ve recreated his examples from chapter 2 without activator. The problem is that my code (without activator) doesn't start remoting.
I've also downloaded his code and it works after doing sbt clean publishLocal
and sbt run
. However if I just copy his src/ directory and his build.sbt to another project I get the same problem. Remoting doesn't start.
My client also cannot connect to a running database (his code with activator).
This code is all based on Akka 2.3.
What am I missing?
