I am currently setting up my first relay and I have run into this issue. I am using this help guide. I have made it to the section titled “Configuring Env and Starting Node”. I am currently on the step ./deploy-as-system.sh, when I use the sudo systemctl status cnode.service, I get an error “Failed to Query protocol-parameters from node, not yet fully started” I also get “WARN”: a prior running cardano node was not cleanly shutdown, socket file still exists, cleaning up.
It’s perfect; it seems it’s normal for version 1.26.1
Wow! Thank you for the quick response and encouragement. It seems it is working actually. 
Hello Alex:
I just installed a relay and I am getting Failed to query protocol-parameters from node, not yet fully started?
I used ./deploy-as-system.sh in version 1.26.2
any ideas.
Thanks

Tell me the status of the node, is fine now?
Yes, but I think the developers are working on code, I had to set the UPDATE_CHECK=“N” in the env file and also the ./sLview is version 1.27.0, I will now compare the ./gLiveview.sh with an 1.26.2 version one to see if there are any differences my relay is at version 1.27.0, the one I installed yesterday, the one I installed today is at 1.26.2
The last official version released is 1.26.2
Yes, they are always working to improve the code
