Hello,

I have installed the latest evaluation version of Octopus Deploy.
I tried to create a new instance beside the Default one from the Octopus Manager but this step fails on the RavenDB setup, full log below:

Creating empty configuration file: D:\Octopus\Heineken Nederland\OctopusServer\Heineken Nederland.config

Any ideas?

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the email, currently the only way to work around this is to use the command line to configure RavenDB to listen on a different port. I’ve noted the bug here to be fixed next release:

Hello Paul,

Thank you, I was able to workaround this issue by creating a custom PowerShell script which does the instance creation.

With kind regards,

Hi Paul and Dennis,

What is the command line to configure RavenDB to listen on different port ?

Thanks

Hi,

When you create a new instance, on the last page of the setup wizard, there’s a big green “Install” button. Next to it is a link - “Show script”. When you show the script, the second line will look like this:

Octopus.Server.exe configure ....... --storageListenPort="10931"

You’ll need to change this setting. You can then also add to that line:

 --commsListenPort="10943"

Both these port numbers need to be changed to be unique.

Hope that helps!

Paul
