Thanks very much for your prompt replies. I am using the bitcask backend. For now I am just trying to use /home/nabil/riak as the directory as I test this out on my development machine, although naturally that is not the ultimate destination we have in mind for our production servers.
I have changed all of the paths quite similarly to the linked gist. There are indeed errors in the Riak logs; I've pasted them here: http://pastebin.com/tQer69eJ As you can see many of them appear to related to file permissions, but like I said I've chowned the directory to the riak user and group: [nabil@localhost riak]$ pwd /home/nabil/riak [nabil@localhost riak]$ ls -latrR . .: total 8 drwxrwxr-x. 2 riak riak 4096 Apr 4 11:59 . drwx------. 62 nabil nabil 4096 Apr 4 15:51 .. Any additional advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks again for what you've already told me.
