I am trying to test rancher… so I piched rancheros as I tought everything would work out of the box… but I am stumped…

I have two VM. One for rancher and one for the agent. I can access rancher just fine on [https://rancherip:8080](https://rancherip:8080)

The issue is I can add a host. On the 2nd rancheros vm I paste the host connection utl but I keep getting:

INFO: Running Agent Registration Process, CATTLE\_URL=https://rancher-server/v1  
INFO: Attempting to connect to: not a links://rancher-server/v1  
ERROR: [https://rancher-server/v1](https://rancher-server/v1) is not accessible

Help! I can connect to the rancher vm using https (can’t put link as I can’t post more than 2 URL???) just fine using curl from the 2nd vm. Why dosen’t work? Is there a good tutorial on how to get a basic test environment working that I perhaps missed?

Also, I tried removing the s in the connection string so it is just http and I get major errors when I do that:

You need to add the CA certificate as a volume to the agent.
