After running the Pi install script, NodeLink doesn't want to start up. It shows a password error and that the hostname (polyglot) can't be parsed. Any ideas?

 

Here's the output.

pi@polyglot:~ $ sudo curl -sSL http://automationshack.com/Files/install.sh | bash

I have the same problem with 

System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.

Odd, I'll have to wrap some error handling around that in the next version.  Never seen it before.  

You could try adding ISY and its IP to /etc/hosts.  

That worked! Thanks!

First time trying this. Thanks for the quick response. I am so excited!

Glad to hear it.  

To help my debugging, what was your hostnane that didn't work?
