Unknown network "development"

Question

I installed truffle globally. I'm trying to connect truffle to a localhost

truffle console > migrate

It failed with Unknown network "development". See your Truffle configuration file for available networks..

truffle.js and truffle-config.js ( why there are two files ? )

module.exports = { networks: { development: { host: "localhost", port: 9545, network_id: "*" // Match any network id } } };

Rename truffle-config.js to truffle.js.

I notice you have port 9545. Was that intended? The default port is 8545 for testrpc.

Try confirming on which port you started your network and make sure it is still alive.

Try networks: { development: { host: "127.0.0.1", port: 7545, network_id: "*" // Match any network id }

This is the default truffle network.
