no issue to me if testrpc is running. – Irmgardirmina

Same issue here. Adding networks configuration doesn't help. – Jeraldjeraldine

Answer 1

You should specify the network in the configuration file truffle.js, which is located in the root of your project folder.

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "localhost",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*" // Match any network id
    }
  }
};

Truffle configuration#networks

Answer 2

Simple Solution:

Problem: this configuration is coming today while you run commend "truffle init" in terminal. there is no configration defined to communicate with ethereum cli (like geth or testrpc )

// module.exports = {
//   // See <http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/configuration>
//   // to customize your Truffle configuration!
// };

So, you have to change it like below in truffle.js

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8545, // your rpc port (like geth rpc port or testrpc port )
      network_id: "*"    
    }
  }
};
