Hello @Yomade_Stephens,

Backendless Pro support is not free, we generally do not provide support for the product on the forum. Support requires a license.

This one seems to be easy - have you tried what the error suggests?

Use “docker swarm init” or “docker swarm join” to connect this node to swarm and try again

Try running the commands shown and see if it works.

Mark

@Yomade_Stephens it seems like your install process was not success, please try again, at the end of the process check if ports.env file created:

ksv@Sergeys-MacBook-Pro scripts % ls | grep ports.env
ports.env

@sergey.kuk the installation process was successful here.
i got to the port request stage and enter all the requested port to the default ports.

and i was been greeted Port configuration completed.

although i didnt see this: ksv@Sergeys-MacBook-Pro scripts % ls | grep ports.env
ports.env anywhere.

7

execute the following in the terminal and send the result to us

ls | grep ports.env
8

i did. but nothing happened.

9

execute

./check_ports.sh

and send us all out put that you will get

10

i did execute this

but it keep asking me again to enter ports, which i did to the defaults listed and at the end of it it say “port configuration complete”. after that i executed the above again and it still required me to enter port

11

Choose ports for services:
MySQL server: [3306]: 3306
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
MongoDB server: [27017]: 27017
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
Redis for debug server: [6380]: 6380
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
Backendless server: [9000]: 9000
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
Backendless web-console: [80]: 80
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
Backendless rt server: [5000]: 5000
./check_ports.sh: line 26: nc: command not found
Port configuration completed.

12

If you run nc from command prompt, does it find the command?

13

no, its says command not found

14

I believe the nc command is a part of the standard Linux distribution. What operating system do you use?

15

Ubuntu 18.04 64bit with Webmin/Virtualmin/LAMP

16

There must be something wrong with your Ubuntu installation. It is certainly part of the OS:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/nc_openbsd.1.html

17

thanks @mark-piller.
i didnt install netcat that was why nc wasnt working. not its is working.

shows me “Cmd line:”

18

regarding this

it request for the ports again, but this time everytime i enter the default port it tells me its already busy and i should choose another.
example: MySQL (default port - 3306): 3306
port 3306 is already busy choose another port.

19

you should figure out what service using 3306 port

20

ok so i tried getting the things done. and about the port i tried using another port no and it moved.

now on start of backendless pro the process suddenly stopped here.
