"Can't set short node name!\nPlease check your configuration" Error when starting OTP app

Hi. I’m learning OTP and elixir by reading the book The Little Elixir and OPT GuideBook. I’m on chapter 8 and while trying to run this application call Blitzy that of spawns some workers to hit a DNS address using HTTP requests, I got this error:

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done

This happens when after initializing 3 instances of my Ubuntu terminal I start up new nodes on each by running the command:

iex --sname d@127.0.0.1 -S mix

Marked As Solved

kokolegorille

kokolegorille

–sname is for short name…

Try

$ iex --sname d -S mix

# or

$ iex --name d@127.0.0.1 -S mix

Where Next?
