windows10 wsl start consul fail

today I want start one service use consul on my local environment wsl（ubuntu） on windows10，so I download consul from https://www.consul.io/，copy consul to /usr/local/bin ,then I use start script copy from server  and change some configure，such as ip ，but it failed and shows "syslog setup did not succeed within timeout (1m0s)",it seems less info from  internet ,but the docs is so sample from consul.io ;  so I just try it with less params ; 

the complete cmd : 

 consul agent  -syslog -data-dir /home/w/consul/data -bind=10.168.16.2 -node=client2 -rejoin -pid-file=/home/w/consul/consul.pid -client 0.0.0.0 -join=10.168.16.65 -ui

so I just use 

 consul agent -data-dir /home/w/consul/data -bind=10.168.16.2 -node=client2 -rejoin -pid-file=/home/w/consul/consul.pid -client 0.0.0.0 -join=10.168.16.65 -ui

it seems start, but fast show other error message ,such as : 

 2021-05-08T16:35:26.348+0800 [ERROR] agent.client: RPC failed to server: method=Catalog.NodeServiceList server=10.168.16.65:8300 error="rpc error making call: rpc: can't find method Catalog.NodeServiceList"

so I think the client version may not math server

 

use  "consul version"  command to query  server and client version ; 

Consul v1.4.0 (server)

Consul v1.9.0 (client)

so I copy server consul from bin  to client ,all success ; 

In windows10  WSL  not support "-syslog " flag ,so it should be removed ,otherwise ,you must make sure client and server consul version is the same ;
