Unable to create channel in Fabric Network - hyperledger-fabric

I am trying to create a fabric application using node.
And so from the /fabric-samples/test-network directory, when I run the command - ./network.sh up.
It starts the network and then the orderer is running on port 7053.
Now, when I run the command - ./network.sh createChannel -c channel1 -ca
It outputs,
Error: Post "https://localhost:7053/participation/v1/channels": read tcp 127.0.0.1:60864->127.0.0.1:7053: read: connection reset by peer
Channel creation failed
Why is it occuring and how can it be resolved?

I'm trying to instantiate a chaincode wriiten in node.js on the hyperledger fabric but I'm getting error

I installed the chaincode on the network but when I'm trying to instantiate,
I'm getting :
"Error: error getting broadcast client: orderer client failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:7050: failed to create new connection: context deadline exceeded"
Also, I tried to add TLS but then I get the following error:
Error: error getting broadcast client: failed to load config for OrdererClient: unable to load orderer.tls.rootcert.file:
And, the orderer logs are:
My orderer TLS is enabled now:
I'll be glad if someone can help or guide me atleast, I'm new to HyperledgerFabric.Thank you.
Adapt to your case:
peer chaincode instantiate -n mychannel -v 1.0 -C petshop -c '{"Args":[""]}' -o 127.0.0.1:7050 --tls --cafile /path/to/orderer/tls/ca.pem
Check the "orderer" logs precisely at the time you are instantiating the chaincode (first without TLS and then with TLS). You can see that time from your command-line when you are running that command.
Update your question with that section of orderer logs.
Also, if I need to guess from your current orderer nodes, you might not have enabled TLS for the orderer container.

RPC error "transport is closing" during peer channel fetch

I have a problem with BYFN in Hyperledger Fabric 1.4.3.
I ran byfn.sh generate and byfn.sh up without problems
I need to fetch a block. When I run this command:
peer channel fetch newest mychannel.block -c mychannel --orderer orderer.example.com:7050
from docker cli bash, I get the following error:
error receiving: rpc error code = unavailable desc = transport is closing
How to fix this?

Hyperledger-composer unable to change BlockTimeout

I am working on prototyping a game using hyperledger-composer. I need to decrease the block time out however the instructions provided in the fabric-dev-servers do not work.
I followed the howtobuild.txt found in ~/fabric-dev-servers/fabric-scripts/hlfv12/composer however installing the network using composer network start --networkName .... the network fails to start with the error:
Error: Error trying to start business network. Error: Failed to connect to any peer event hubs. It is required that at least 1 event hub has been connected to receive the commit event
the versions i am uising are composer#20 and fabric docker images with the tag 1.2.1 (as downloaded by) ./startFabric.sh
The steps I have taken are exactly as follows:
cd ~/fabric-dev-servers/fabric-scripts/hlfv12/composer
nano configtx.yaml
inside this file I
Move the profile block to the bottom of the ymal (to stop the weird error)
change BatchTimeout to 200ms
changed MaxMessageCount to 1
after saving the file I do
rm -r crypto-config
cryptogen generate --config=./crypto-config.yaml
get the new key and update docker-composer.yml and docker-compose-dev.yml
$(ls -1 crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/ca/*_sk`
get key from keystore
ls -1 crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/users/Admin#org1.example.com/msp/keystore/*_sk
update peerAdminCard sell script with the new key
nano ../createPeerAdminCard.sh
Generate
configtxgen -profile ComposerChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./composer-channel.tx -channelID composerchannel`
configtxgen -profile ComposerOrdererGenesis -outputBlock ./composer-genesis.block
create peer admin card
cd ../ && ./createPeerAdminCard.sh
At this point it starts downloading the fabric docker images, which all run successfully
I then create my BNA file and try to start the network
cd /my/buisness/network
composer archive create -t dir -n .
composer network install --card PeerAdmin#hlfv1 --archiveFile my-game#0.0.1.bna
composer network start --networkName my-game --networkVersion 0.0.1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw --card PeerAdmin#hlfv1 --file networkadmin.card
which gives the error
Error: Error trying to start business network. Error: Failed to connect to any peer event hubs. It is required that at least 1 event hub has been connected to receive the commit event
The Debugging steps i have taken are as follows
After viewing the peer logs i can see delivering blocks to the orderer fails because composerchannel does not exist, so i manually try to create and join the channel manually
docker exec peer0.org1.example.com peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c composerchannel -f /etc/hyperledger/configtx/composer-channel.tx
which is a success
2019-03-23 00:07:38.131 UTC [cli/common] readBlock -> INFO 05e Received block: 0
I then try to join the peer to the channel
docker exec peer0.org1.example.com peer channel join -o orderer.example.com:7050 -b composerchannel.block --tls --cafile /etc/hyperledger/msp/users/Admin#org1.example.com/tls/ca.crt --keyfile /etc/hyperledger/msp/users/Admin#org1.example.com/tls/client.key --certfile /etc/hyperledger/msp/users/Admin#org1.example.com/tls/client.crt
which gives the error
proposal failed (err: bad proposal response 500: access denied for [JoinChain][composerchannel]: [Failed verifying that proposal's creator satisfies local MSP principal during channelless check policy with policy [Admins]: [This identity is not an admin]])
There are a lot of different 'Admin' Pems inside the /etc/hyperledger/msp and /etc/hyperledger/tls so I'm pretty much trying all combinations
I'm at a loss, I've been on google for hours trying to find anyone with the same issue but have come up short. Any help will be appreciated.
UPDATE
Turns out explicitly defining the certificates where not needed. running this command allowed me to join the channel.
docker exec peer0.org1.example.com peer channel join -o orderer.example.com:7050 -b composerchannel.block --clientauth --tls
at this point all the docker containers were running and the channel was working. i manage to be able to start the network and everything ran fine (i could request the chaincode, ledger was updating fine etc). However it still seems to take 2 seconds to process a transaction. Again i did some debugging to make sure the config on the order was correct.
fetch config block from channel on orderer
docker exec peer0.org1.example.com peer channel fetch config config_block.pb -o http_s_://orderer.example.com:7050 -c composerchannel --tls --cafile /etc/hyperledger/peer/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.org1.example.com-cert.pem
copy out of container to local machine
docker cp 5eeaf8c650f8:/root/config_block.pb config_block.pb
convert from proto-buf to json (using configtxlator binary found in fabric-samples)
configtxlator docker exec peer0.org1.example.com proto_decode --input config_block.pb --type common.Block | jq .data.data[0].payload.data.config > config.json
After getting the config of the channel i could see that the BatchTimeout was 200ms and BatchAmount was 1, yet i still have the 2 seconds timeout per transaction.
While working with Hyperledger composer now you have to keep in mind that it is obselete. I have followed these same steps many times in the past and built custom networks. I think your issue could be of version mismatch. Try downgrading composer to 0.19.
Additionally, did you try doing a docker ps to make sure that all the required containers are running?
Also, before doing the configtxgen command there's a simple command
export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD
Did you do this?

How to run Hyperledger Fabric Network on local machine?

I am trying to run a sample Hyperledger Fabric network without using docker and trying to create channel by following this tutorial.
orderer is running normally in terminal window 1 and is ready to serve requests as you can see in image: here
peer is also running normally in terminal window 2 :
here
Now, when I try to create a channel and run below command from terminal window 3 :
./peer channel create -o localhost:7050 -c mychannel
-f ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx
--tls true
--cafile
./crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem
It gives following error :
Error: failed to create deliver client: orderer client failed to connect to orderer.example.com:7050: failed to create new connection: context deadline exceeded
orderer.example.com is likely not a known host on your local machine. You'll need to create an entry in your /etc/hosts file which maps orderer.example.com to either the IP address of the host or the loopback address 127.0.0.1.
For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost orderer.example.com

At the time of chaincode instansiate getting error Error: could not send: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing

Using Linux 16.04 and docker All the containers are running fine .Successfully installed the chaincode on core peer.
But At the time of chaincode instansiate
peer chaincode instantiate -o orderer.example.com:7050 -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n fabcar -l "golang" -v 1.0 -c '{"Args":[""]}' -P "OR ('Org1MSP.member','Org2MSP.member')"
Geeting error
`Error: could not send: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing`
Thanks in advance.
I was facing this issue because I enabled tls on the peer but not providing the tls and ca file to the orderer at the time of chaincode instantiate.
This may work:
Bring down the network
Disable TLS in below files by commenting environment variables listed below.
base/docker-compose-base.yaml
base/peer-base.yaml
docker-compose-cli.yaml:
docker-compose-e2e-template.yam
ENV:
CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED
CORE_PEER_TLS_CERT_FILE
CORE_PEER_TLS_KEY_FILE
CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE
Bring up the network
Another way is to pass TLS certificate as an argument to peer fetch channel command.
