Node manager does not start on Create network

[frizzbuzz]

I am new to Quorum maker and testing all the options of creating networks and attaching to existing nodes. But for me except in dev network, other options do not start nodemanager and not able to create/join network/attach to existing nodes. Can you please let me know how to do create a network and join nodes to that?

Ok sure,

Please follow the steps in the following link to create and join a network using interactive approach
https://github.com/synechron-finlabs/quorum-maker/wiki#creating-the-first-node
https://github.com/synechron-finlabs/quorum-maker/wiki#joining-a-network

Note: Enter all the ports if 22000 to 22004 ports are busy or you can keep them as default

Note :- When joing a node
Please enter IP Address of existing node: "Enter IP of the the first node which you have created"
Please enter Node Manager Port of existing node: "Enter NodeManager Port of the the first node which you have created"
Please enter IP Address of this node: "Enter IP of second node"

If both the nodes are on the same system you have to enter same IP in both the fields ie. existing node IP and this node IP and enter different ports for joining node w.r.to creating node

For Non-Interactive approach follow the steps in the following link:

I followed all the steps mentioned on the links. Still no luck with Node Manager. Creating a network creates a folder for the node data and prints the enode address on the console. But Node Manager does not start. Since I cannot access the UI using https://localhost:22004, other nodes can not be joined as they fail to get approval from the main node.

@frizzbuzz To load UI , URL will be http://localhost:<nodemanager_port>. You have mentioned "https".
Are running quorum nodes on local machine or any web server..?
If you are running on web server, then url will be http://<webserver_ip>:<ndoeManager_port>.Make sure nodeManager port is open on server to accessible it from browser.Otherwise http://localhost:<nodeManager_port>
What error exactly you are getting..? Could you just go to log directory of your node and mention error here..?
example:
cd quorum-maker/node1/node/qdata/gethLogs/node1.log
