Hello, I am configuring to create a pool. I am currently setting up node 8.7.3. After completing the entire setup, when I try to run the node, the following logs keep appearing. All files exist in the specified path, but… What else should I check? Your assistance would be appreciated. ```auto ● cardano-node.service - Cardano node service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cardano-node.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2024-03-18 14:19:11 CET; 1s ago Process: 267988 ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /root/cardano-my-node/startRelayNode.sh (code=exited, status=127) Main PID: 267988 (code=exited, status=127) CPU: 9ms ``` ````auto cardano-node.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1782.

Are you following a guide or using CNTools? What happens when you run “which cardano-node”? ---

Hello, I followed the guide and performed the steps. Below is the link to the sequence and explanation of what I have done. Is there anything wrong with the process I followed? → [my guide](https://geode-patient-632.notion.site/Cardano-Staking-Pool-Setting-83b4065f72334f09bdac331ebc8c1fc1?pvs=4) Also, the captured images show the current installation. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/8/6/86f169044f99d21ef4d0ceb53bb192472dab195b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/e/6/e6301f770a7fa3ed643e1196839271c257434e21.png) ---

As you said, the message appears, but… I’m confused because it exists in the path… I’ll share the link and captured images of what I’ve done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. → [my guide](https://geode-patient-632.notion.site/Cardano-Staking-Pool-Setting-83b4065f72334f09bdac331ebc8c1fc1?pvs=4) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/8/6/86f169044f99d21ef4d0ceb53bb192472dab195b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/e/6/e6301f770a7fa3ed643e1196839271c257434e21.png) ---

CNTools is something new to me. Could it be a simpler approach? If you could provide me with a guide or a link to reference CNTools, I’d be willing to start over from scratch. ---

You were right. I changed the path to root/local/bin… Now the status has changed to active. I’ll proceed forward again. Thanks once again. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/1/0/10d35f49e621b7ff5fc9dc6193dd05f0e4e6d6ce.png) ---

Now, another issue has arisen. Although it seemed to be running earlier, it shut down immediately and the log shows the following: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/7/1/71da44b0beb34139766f8b6614e94141fc875d9c.jpeg) ---

Try replacing your conway file with one from this link: [https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments.html](https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments.html) ---

I changed it, but it’s still the same. I heard the json file is for 8.9.0, but I downloaded 8.7.3, so could there be a problem? ---

Well I would recommend installing the 8.9 binary. You’ll only have to upgrade later otherwise.

You shouldn’t need to start from scratch again, just put the 8.9 binary in place of the 8.7.3 binary ---
