error with Build a Network Tutorial
I'm following the Build a network tutorial using a free Kubernetes cluster and the Blockchain Platform 2.0 service.
I get through the tutorial, all is going well, and I get to the last step - Step 5 - Join your peer to the channel. When I click 'join channel', I get the following error messag:
The peer could not join the channel. The selected certificate is not a peer admin certificate. the grpc web client timed out the proposal after 10.0 secs: timeout
I'm wondering if it is because I'm on the free plan and sometimes the responsiveness seems slow. This has happened twice. I did it the first time and thought, 'well, maybe I did a step wrong', but going through it again and I get the same error.
Any suggestions?
It appears I'm not the only one. Here is a recent StackOverflow question with the same issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56009704/joining-channel-error-in-ibm-blockchain-platform
I figured it out. I must have botched some permission on an identity when creating the peer. I created a second peer and it worked ok. I noticed the green square indicating the peer was running on the second peer that wasn't appearing on the first peer. I deleted the first peer and tried again and it worked ok.
