Hi,  
I try to install an Edge Region and immediately get an error that says:

> The connection to the server 127.0.0.1:63905 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?  
> It looks like you hit an issue when installing your Edge region.

any idea what I need to do?

Hi @Ronny_Mones, could you please provide some more information about when this error happens? Are you trying to run the installation script? If so, could you provide the full log please?

Thanks and regards,  
Romanas

Hi,

The error happens pretty much after the first confirmation I have to give:

Hi Ronny, looks like the `kubectl` that the script uses is unable to connect to your kubernetes cluster. Are you able to perform any actions, such as `kubectl get nodes`?
