bartvrancken I am sorry, but I don't quite understand the problem. Could you please copy your config file here (with any sensitive data removed).

Closing as incomplete as without more information it is not possible to investigate.

Please create a new one if needed.

@johan wikman

sorry , i missed a few notifications. these items i discussed on IRC and one of the devs understood it and asked to log it here too.

There are multiple problems:

1. The socket works, but not using the port method. Its the client that is broken, as a telnet to the port works fine. TCPdump shows the maxadmin is trying to connect, but seems to fail?

2. Connecting to the port method will still report errors that the socket is not available, which is not an 'issue to report' as i am not using the socket at that port.

Thanks, I will take a look at it.

bartvrancken Could you provide the maxadmin related parts of your config file?

With telnet you try to localhost, but with maxadmin to specific address:

root@pxc1:~/MaxScale/_build# telnet localhost 6603

root@pxc1:~/MaxScale/_build# maxadmin -h 172.16.0.111 -pmariadb list servers

Please try telneting to 172.16.0.111 or using 127.0.0.1 with maxadmin. What is the result?

In the listener setup for the maxadmin service, what do you have as value for address ?

I get exactly the behaviour you experience with

address=localhost

With

address=0.0.0.0

connecting with maxadmin, using an address other than localhost, works fine.

In the config i tried:

127.0.0.1
::1
172.16.0.111

All cases telnet works, but maxadmin did not.

@"connecting with maxadmin, using an address other than localhost, works fine."

Which is a problem no? If there is a TCP socket it should work to localhost too (or specific IP to listen on)

@"Please try telneting to 172.16.0.111 or using 127.0.0.1 with maxadmin. What is the result?"

With 0.0.0.0 it does work

@ Config:

[CLI_Listener]
type=listener
service=CLI
protocol=maxscaled
#address=localhost
#port=6603
socket=default

I commented them as combining them does not work, while it does with listener/splitter and other items.

With "connecting with maxadmin, using an address other than localhost, works fine." I meant it works also with an address other than localhost.

If you want to be able to use maxscale over a Unix domain socket and a TCP socket/port, you can always have two listeners:

[MaxAdmin Unix Listener]

type=listener

service=MaxAdmin Service

protocol=maxscaled

socket=default

[MaxAdmin Inet Listener]

type=listener

service=MaxAdmin Service

protocol=maxscaled

address=0.0.0.0

port=6603

bartvrancken Is there something unclear still with this one? Otherwise I will close it.

Thanks, Johan

Without new information that would suggest otherwise, I'll close this as a non-bug.
