Hi all,
I'm getting started with hacking around with libvirt and am trying to familiarize myself with launching and running an instance of libvirtd I built from source on Centos 7.6.
Following the instructions from https://libvirt.org/compiling.html to launch my built versions of libvirtd and virsh, I get the following error with no other context when trying to start a domain using "virsh start mydomain":
error: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer
Despite this error, I am able to run commands list virsh list.
Are there additional parameters needed to launch libvirtd or additional services I need to start up alongside it?
If you have libvirt installed from the distro packages, then a plain "virsh" will find the virsh binary from /usr/bin. This is built to expect an installation config --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var If you build your own using "configure" with no args, or with args that don't match the above, then your libvirtd binary will be listening on a different socket, so virsh won't connect successfully. You should use the "virsh" binary that you just built instead.
