Importing bna file: cannot get package for chaincode

Question

Some time ago a created a bna file based on https://github.com/johnwalicki/IoT-AssetTracking-Perishable-Network-Blockchain/tree/master/Blockchain

Now I want to import a bna file on a different server.

$ composer network install --archiveFile perishable-network.bna --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1
$ composer network start --networkName perishable-network  --networkVersion 1.0.0 --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw
Error: Error trying to start business network. Error: No valid responses from any peers.
Response from attempted peer comms was an error: Error: cannot get package for chaincode (perishable-network:1.0.0)

I am aware of this other question but wouldn't know how to apply this (peer chaincode install) to my specific situation.

docker ps directly via VNC on the Ubuntu 18.04 VM where I start the composer-playground command:

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar$2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

docker ps via SSH from my laptop (Mac):

peter@asset-tracker:~$ docker ps

It seems like Composer-Cli could not get a connection with fabric network. Can you add the output of `docker ps` command? — Mahesh Rajput, Nov 19 '18 at 04:59
added the outputs from VNC viewer and SSH, which are different for some reason. — jpsstack, Nov 19 '18 at 07:03

Dealing with the first error on the composer network start command:

" Error: cannot get package for chaincode (perishable-network:1.0.0) "

This says that the network with that name and version can't be found on the Peer - so either it isn't there or there is some mismatch in the name/version.

If you run the command composer archive list -a perishable-network.bna you will see the exact details from the bna, and you will see any mismatch with your composer network start command.

If the name./version are OK could also check the file system on the Peer to see it is actually successfully installed: docker exec peer0.org1.example.com ls /var/hyperledger/production/chaincodes

If the package is not visible from the command above then you will need to re-run the composer network install ... command - then recheck the file system on the peer using the previous command.

Have you stopped or restarted the Fabric between the composer network install and composer network start commands? Please see this previous Stack Overflow posting which explains how the startFabric.sh script works.
