[ovs-discuss] ovs-testcontroller cannot connect to ovs-vswitchd

[Ali Volkan Atli]

Hi all

I started a ovs-vswitchd like this:

sudo  ovs-vswitchd --pidfile -v tcp:127.0.0.1:6653

and then ovs-testcontroller as follows:

sudo ovs-testcontroller ptcp: --pidfile

but it cannot connect to ovs-vswitchd which gives a parse error for jsonrpc. I think it should be related to the OVSDB but I am not sure where the problem is. Appreciated for any advice.

Thanks in advance..
