Question

Couldn't create my channel and got following error:

2021-01-27 10:32:42.643 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 001 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
Error: got unexpected status: BAD_REQUEST -- error applying config update to existing channel 'mychannel': error authorizing update: error validating ReadSet: proposed update requires that key [Group]  /Channel/Application be at version 0, but it is currently at version 1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Channel creation failed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
========= ERROR !!! FAILED to execute End-2-End Scenario ===========

Any idea how to solve this error? How can I change this key [Group] /Channel/Application version?

Answer 1

Make sure you are inside the test-network directory and run the following commands

source scriptUtils.sh
. scripts/envVar.sh
export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD/../config/

Now try to run the create channel command Make sure you have configtx.yaml present inside config directory
