Can't run RavenDB 4 on Azure VM (Server 2012 R2 or 2016). Sparrow type initializer exception

[dylan bevan]

Hey folks,

First time trying RavenDB and I'm getting blocked right out of the gate. I've spun up two VM's in Azure (Standard DS3 v2 (4 cores, 14 GB memory)), one with Server 2012 R2 and the other with Server 2016.

I navigate to C:\Raven\Server where I've extracted the 64 bit exe to (RavenDB-4.0.0-beta-40015-windows-x64) and just try to run the server.exe with no arguments. The output is:

       _____                       _____  ____
      |  __ \                     |  __ \|  _ \

      | | \ \ (_| |\ V /  __/ | | | |__| | |_) |
      |_|  \_\__,_| \_/ \___|_| |_|_____/|____/

      Safe by default, optimized for efficiency

Any ideas as to what may be causing this? My settings.json file looks like this

{
  "Raven/ServerUrl": "http://localhost:8080",
  "Raven/WorkingDir": "C:\\RavenData",
  "Raven/AllowAnonymousUserToAccessTheServer": false,
  "Raven/AnonymousUserAccessMode": "Admin",
  "Raven/RunInMemory": false
}

Make sure that this machine has the appropriate C runtime for libsodiu
m.dll.

You are probably missing VCRUNTIME140.DLL

Try installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

I have the Visual C++ Redistributable x64 installed for every version of Visual Studio from 2008 to 2017 and I'm still getting this error.

The error that I am getting is different from the above.

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Sparrow.Platform.Win32.WinSodium' threw an exception. ---> Sparrow.Platform.IncorrectDllException: libsodium.x64.dll version might be invalid or not usable on current platform. Initialization error could also be caused by missing 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package' (or newer). It can be downloaded from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libsodium.x64.dll': The specified module could not be found.

@dylan - have you tried using the latest RC instead? 40025? (you said you were on 40015 which is 7 months old now)

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Yes, let's start with this, because that should certainly work
