Hi:

One more question is that I am running ziti locally without docker on Ubuntu 22.04.1. When I want to run zitiLogin it shows:

~$ zitiLogin  
The connection to the server zhao2:1280 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?  
[2]- Done “${ZITI\_BIN\_DIR-}/ziti-controller” run “${ZITI\_HOME\_OS\_SPECIFIC}/${ZITI\_EDGE\_CONTROLLER\_RAWNAME}.yaml” &\> “${log\_file}”  
[3]+ Done “${ZITI\_BIN\_DIR}/ziti-router” run “${ZITI\_HOME\_OS\_SPECIFIC}/${ZITI\_EDGE\_ROUTER\_RAWNAME}.yaml” \> “${log\_file}” 2\>&1

could you please share some idea about this issue ?

Seems like the same sort of issue as the other part. I'm thinking the server isn't starting. Is there anything useful in the controller logs?
