SOLVED Unable to Install the Rancher Server

[William Miceli]

I've followed the FN11 docs up to the point of installing the server, many times trying slight variations, and I seem to be getting an error message I can't find anywhere.

Attached a screenshot of my SSH Client.

Unsure why I get the "/var/spool/.....all ports busy". I thought maybe had to do with the NIC, but after messing with that for a while, I'm not sure what other options I have.


Any ideas?

"/var/spool/.....all ports busy".

My guess would be that it's because you aren't logged in as root.

For some reason I had issues being able to log in through root, and did make sure that I configured the SSH service to allow root login with password, but I'll see if I can get that figured out.
That does seem like probably what I did wrong.
I'll get back once I can get into SSH properly.

Thank you!

Permission to log in is not the same as permission to use various devices in /dev, like the nmdm devices. I think standard serial device access permissions are given to group dialer. I don't know if that applies to nmdm devices also, though.

Not being root was definitely the issue. Funny enough, I didn't have any issues logging in as root this time!

Thank you!
