Truffle migrate Server Error

Question

I have created a truffle project. I have compiled the projects and it is compiled without any problem. When I try to migrate it using 

truffle migrate

I am getting the following error:

Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js


Deploying Migrations...
Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually.
Error: Server error

Answer 1

Seems like truffle didn't find a server. Is testrpc running? If not, open a new terminal and run the command

testrpc

If testrpc is running and you still have the problem, make sure you have configured the truffle.js file right.

truffle.js file should look something like this:

module.exports = {
      networks: {
            development: {
                  host: 'localhost',
                  port: 8545,
                  network_id: '*' //* will match to any network id
                  }
         }
};
