Running Raven.Server.exe for first time - "Invalid or unknown language id"

[James Crowley]

I've just tried running Raven.Server.exe as an administrator on a
development server for the first time, but it doesn't seem to be able
to create an empty database. I'm getting the following error:

A critical error occurred while starting the server. Please see the
exception details bellow for more details:
System.InvalidOperationException: Could not open transactional
storage: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ravendb\App_Data\Data\Data --->

Any idea what might be causing this?

What build are you using?
Can you try with 960?

We are now forcing our indexes to be culture invariant, but it may be that you don't have this on your machine?

What are the machine regional settings?

[James Crowley]

This is with 1.2.2017-Unstable. It's on a machine with a English/UK
locale, running Windows Server SP2 (not R2).

And yes, just tried 960 and that works fine - thanks. As does running
960, shutting it down, and then starting up 1.2.2017-Unstable.

Okay, it is something there, then.

Can you check what does this returns on your machine?

CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.LCID

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Also, what does this gives you?

CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.LCID).DisplayName

[James Crowley]

127
Invariant Language (Invariant Country)

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Okay, this is what it is supposed to do.

At any rate, it isn't important and I can change that, will be fixed in the next build.

Hi, I'm encountering the same problem.

Has it been fixed in 1.2.2022?

Thx

Simone

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

It should have, yes

[Simone Chiaretta]

yep.. just updated... had to delete the old data folder (running as embedded) but now it gives me another error, further down in process :)

So that ok for this problem. Will write another question in another message :)
