How to create term set in managed metadata service?

Question

I am trying to do managed navigation in my SharePoint site, but when I click on create term set I get an error:

Failed to create term set: A default managed metadata service connection hasn't been specified.

I have already started managed metadata service and set default proxy group in central admin. When I click on managed metadata service connection properties then again I get:

There are no addresses available for this application

Kindly help me.

Try to check the below path and check your managed meta data service has started / stopped Central Administration -> manage Services on server -> Managed metadata service).If It is stopped then Restart the service

Couple of things to make sure.

• check if the MMS service is associated with the Central admin. central admin> Application management > manage web application> click on central admin and from Ribbon click on service connection. Make sure MMS is associated with it.
• check the app pool of MMS from the Server where this service is running.
• Restart the MMS service from the services on server.
• if you have multiple server in the farm, then try to start the service on the different server.
