Hi we are running into an issue trying to register our stake for our pool. This is the command we are running:

$ cardano-cli shelley transaction submit \

> –tx-file tx.signed   
> –testnet-magic 42

And this is the error:

Error while submitting tx: Failed to submit Shelley transaction: ApplyTxError [LedgerFailure (DelegsFailure (DelplFailure (DelegFailure (StakeDelegationImpossibleDELEG (KeyHashObj (KeyHash bc72ddb2ccb23ebd2e9784ba9c656a5552858726bb1ee23d526c2453))))))]

I worked out what this issue is, I missed a step in registering the stake pool as I did not register my staking address before trying to register my pool. Hope this helps someone else!
