Yep. Perhaps its a problem with my exposing services to the outside world.

I moved only to a docker image running, using docker run and all the necesary parametters, removing all k8s stuffs. And I still getting the same issue.

```bash
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
  error, called at src/Ouroboros/Network/Protocol/LocalStateQuery/Codec.hs:79:7 in ouroboros-network-0.1.0.0-9c93ee3d43e9b56140acbe9faa613f57a7448c5507bb4a7893cc753336307046:Ouroboros.Network.Protocol.LocalStateQuery.Codec

```

However I’m not having in this stage the [Notice message](https://forum.cardano.org/t/what-means-notice-traceforwarders-queue-is-full-200-log-items-were-dropped/63194). And I’m using the update topology option from nessusio.

I’m using the latest version of nessusio image from which I can inspect, it using the latest version available: 1.27

Nope. I tried some alternatives, but no. The query tips works without --shelley-mode, but this point to Byron era. And other commands, prints an error about it cannot be done in Byron era. And when I use shelley-mode, I get the error message. So I’m stuck right now between these two error messages.

Well, now I’m using the following executables  
[cardano-node:1.25](https://hub.docker.com/layers/nessusio/cardano-node/1.25.1/images/sha256-1a530f9056a7584ebe3a3d705d735c421c4f0377f2da5487ddf9ee5ee8adec3e?context=explore)  
cardano-cli 1.25 from inside the docker image. (I copied it to the host and using from there to query tips 😃)  
I did

`cardano-cli query tip --shelley-mode --testnet-magic 764824073`

And I got

```json
{
    "blockNo": 111005,
    "headerHash": "c309b1b55f38069a2c336545d5379f26031b0d32d0391e14f017169a317239ab",
    "slotNo": 111034
}

```

Now, I’m gonna jump to version 1.26 and see what its there.

As you can see, [cardano-cli-1.26](https://www.myadanode.com/cardano-node/1.26.2/aarch64/cardano-cli).  
And the node is running using the following docker [image](https://hub.docker.com/layers/nessusio/cardano-node/1.26.2/images/sha256-98409156abd96feb41955ccec32586b4959cead5ac48111f3966722d54bbfa0e?context=explore)

If I remove --shelley-mode it works. But I don’t know in what is the current era.

```json

    "epoch": null,
    "hash": "9021fc8483e1d5db8b049f9b657b43eb34af1490e672f7fb82322d344a764091",

    "block": 879182
}

```

And also I’m having the same problem that I discussed with @charismatik1 .

This is in mainnet. And using shelley mode I’m getting the same.  
Also I run the node the last night in the testnet network. And in the morning, the query tips for the byron era gave me the epoch 135, not null. But the the shelley-mode throws the same exception.

I’m trying to query the node using CARDANO\_NODE\_SOCKET\_PATH variable, but my common user does not have access to the node.socket file. Every time I do it, I use the sudo user. How can I do it with my common user? I tried changin the acces to node.socket using chmod and chown but I didn’t succes. There are some tutorial about it?

Work when I do `./cardano-cli query tip --cardano-mode --testnet-magic 1097911063`. This is the output

```json

```

I will try to do all the operation for staking pool using that

Nessusio is using 1.25.1 because of this…[docs-cardano-org/comp-matrix.md at main · cardano-foundation/docs-cardano-org · GitHub](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/docs-cardano-org/blob/main//release-information/comp-matrix.md)

i had the same issue on 1.27 but am going to downgrade to 1.251 per the matrix…

Hi @rmourey26! I got the same issue using the official image in version 1.27, and a different architecture for my machine. The option for me was to wait to node sync, and remove `--shelley-mode` in the instruction. And it works until now.

not sure if related. But I am also getting the same error using Daedalus testnet macOS build **18213** , Cardano Node **1.26.2** , Cardano Wallet **2021.5.26**

```auto

Is this a general issue?

Can you describe your overall “cardano-node environment” at the moment of the error? I was running two separate genesis test nodes to re-create/fork the shelly chain, i started the nodes, they were running fine, then ran the cli-query protocol parameters and received the error…

I think its possibly related to previous node socket configurations/file locations and or the cardano-node version… which I’m considering downgrading to 1.25.1 as it’s the only version that can actually run cardano as intended at this point…

Turns out I just needed to wait for the node to sync!
