Connecting

This page contains the most common issues that may be encountered during development with respect to connecting to a TypeDB server.

Connection refused

$ ./typedb console --address localhost:1729 --username admin --password password
tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 61)

Receiving this error message from Console or Driver indicates that they are unable to establish a connection to the server. The most common reasons could be:

  • The server is not running

  • The server is configured at a different host or port to what the client is attempting to connect to

  • The connection is blocked by a firewall

TLS errors

$ ./typedb console --address https://localhost:1729 --username admin --password password --tls-disabled
Connecting to HTTPS without TLS enabled

Receiving this error message from Console or Driver indicates that TLS is not properly configured from the Console or Driver side.

When using TLS encryption, ensure it is configured on both the server and the driver. Drivers connecting to TLS-secured servers must use the https:// prefix.

Similarly, when disabling TLS encryption, ensure both server and driver are configured to not use TLS, and the driver connects without an https:// prefix.
