Topic: Openvswtich problem: ovs-vsctl doesn't find db.sock file

Hi to all!! I'm new here and I'm starting hitting my head with some problems. I've tried to describe it as simple as I can:

I've installed Chaos Chalmer 15.05 in my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND and then the OVS package with opkg. When I try to create the bridge on OVS I obtain the following message:

ovs-vsctl: unix:/var/run/db.sock: database connection failed (No such file or directory)

I 've looked for the file but it seems not to be there, so the bridge is never created.
Has someone experienced something similar before?

Thanks in advance!

Well, fortunately I've solved it going back the configuration to factory default, and then I installed the OVS package again. The problem was not the OVS itself, but it was the lack of space bacause of software I had installed additionally. Furthermore, I couldn't modified or remove any package because of the lack of space in memory.

Now I will go on with my testing!

The discussion might have continued from here.
