Hello Everyone,

I am at a loss as to why I cannot get the database server to work. I've
tried re-installing OVS but keep getting the following errors - I'm using
the Openflow mininet vm file:


root at mininet-vm:/home/openflow# service openvswitch-switch restart
 * ovs-brcompatd is not running
 * Killing ovs-vswitchd (12828)
 * Killing ovsdb-server (12621)
 * Inserting brcompat module
 * Starting ovsdb-server
