BYFN Error - "unable to bootstrap orderer"
Why am I getting the "panic: unable to bootstrap orderer. Error reading genesis block file: read /var/hyperledger/orderer/orderer.genesis.block: is a directory" error?

When you build and deploy your BYFN network manually, you may end up missing
the genesis.block file.
Try to run the "docker-compose up" command again to deploy and start BYFN containers without the "--detach" option
$ cd ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/first-network $ docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up ... orderer.example.com | FileLedger.Prefix = "hyperledger-fabric-ordererledger" orderer.example.com | RAMLedger.HistorySize = 1000 orderer.example.com | Kafka.Retry.ShortInterval = 5s ... orderer.example.com | Kafka.Verbose = true orderer.example.com | Kafka.Version = 0.10.2.0 ... orderer.example.com | Debug.BroadcastTraceDir = "" orderer.example.com | Debug.DeliverTraceDir = "" orderer.example.com | Consensus = map[WALDir:/var/hyperledger/production/orderer/etcdraft/wal \ SnapDir:/var/hyperledger/production/orderer/etcdraft/snapshot] orderer.example.com | Operations.ListenAddress = "127.0.0.1:8443" ... orderer.example.com | Metrics.Statsd.Prefix = "" orderer.example.com | panic: unable to bootstrap orderer. Error reading \ genesis block file: read /var/hyperledger/orderer/orderer.genesis.block: \ is a directory ... ^C Gracefully stopping... (press Ctrl+C again to force) ...
So the genesis block file is cause a problem. Let's check the local version in the hosting system:
$ ls -l channel-artifacts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 11 17:19 genesis.block $ ls -l channel-artifacts/genesis.block/ total 0
The "genesis.block" file has been changed to an empty directory and owned by "root" now. Some thing happened to the file. We need to do the entire build and deploy process.
1. Generate certificates:
$ ../bin/cryptogen generate --config=./crypto-config.yaml $ ls -l crypto-config total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 fyicenter fyicenter 4096 Apr 11 23:52 ordererOrganizations drwxr-xr-x 4 fyicenter fyicenter 4096 Apr 11 23:52 peerOrganizations
2. Generate genesis block and bootstrap transactions:
$ export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=./ $ ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsOrdererGenesis -channelID byfn-sys-channel \ -outputBlock ./channel-artifacts/genesis.block $ ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -channelID mychannel \ -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx $ ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -channelID mychannel -asOrg Org1MSP \ -outputAnchorPeersUpdate ./channel-artifacts/Org1MSPanchors.tx $ ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -channelID mychannel -asOrg Org2MSP \ -outputAnchorPeersUpdate ./channel-artifacts/Org2MSPanchors.tx $ ls -l channel-artifacts -rw-r--r-- 1 fyicenter fyicenter 284 Apr 11 23:59 Org1MSPanchors.tx -rw-r--r-- 1 fyicenter fyicenter 284 Apr 11 23:59 Org2MSPanchors.tx -rw-r--r-- 1 fyicenter fyicenter 346 Apr 11 23:57 channel.tx -rw-r--r-- 1 fyicenter fyicenter 12980 Apr 11 23:56 genesis.block
3. Start the FYBN Docker containers:
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up --detach $ docker ps --all IMAGE COMMAND STATUS NAMES hyperledger/fabric-tools:latest "/bin/bash" Up 25 seconds cli hyperledger/fabric-orderer:latest "orderer" Up 33 seconds orderer.example.com hyperledger/fabric-peer:latest "peer node start" Up 32 seconds peer1.org2.example.com hyperledger/fabric-peer:latest "peer node start" Up 31 seconds peer0.org1.example.com hyperledger/fabric-peer:latest "peer node start" Up 34 seconds peer1.org1.example.com hyperledger/fabric-peer:latest "peer node start" Up 34 seconds peer0.org2.example.com
All BYFN Docker containers are up and running.
