Hi Matt, Here are two typical cases which roxie start failed: 1) Not enough system memory. We recommend 4GB. With 2GB it may be OK to start it and do some basic functions 2) network resource with juju-local For some environment juju-local doesn't start linux instance with correct network resource. There are lots things missing under /proc/sys/net/core/ /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max is missing which result roxie process fails to start: "/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max value 0 is less than 131071" "EXCEPTION: (1455): System socket max read buffer is less than 131071 I will check your case when having roxie.log and file list under /proc/sys/net/core.
