Error TIMEOUT: Could not login with SSH

[usli06]

Hello,

When I try to create a database I am getting an error that says something like "TIMEOUT: Could not login with SSH. Here is what SSH said:Last login: Sun Feb 20 06:30:01 2012". Does any one know what this means? I get this after installing the RPM in Red Hat.

Thank you.

Hi,

That error is sometimes related to not having the mount point /dev/pts available. The devpts file system is the most common way for pseudo terminals (PTYs) to be implemented.

Can you check to see if its mounted? One way to check is with the df command.

Example:

Code: Select all

[root@vertica03 ~]# df /dev/pts
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
devpts                       0         0         0   -  /dev/pts

If the df command produces the result "df: `/dev/pts': No such file or directory" then you'll have to mount the file system.

Example:

Code: Select all

mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts

I hope this helps.
