  [checkHost.sh] Failed error when installing Platform on Ubuntu 20.04

  Posted by scholzi on April 29, 2022 at 12:00 am

  I am currently trying to install KX Platform 4.7.1 on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install but I keep getting a checkhost error and looking at the logs I can’t find the specific error that is causing problems

   

  If anyone can offer any advice I have attached the log mentioned.

   

  $ ./install.sh 
  =============================================================
  == install.sh [2.1.7] ==
  =============================================================
  Platform install directory [/home/cameron/kxinstall]:

  Kdb+ licenses (k4.lic) are tied to the hostname of a machine and specifically the hostname in FQDN (<HOSTNAME>.<DOMAINNAME>) format. 

  The installer expects the hostname to be the the required FQDN format .i.e server1.company.com
