How to fix an error when starting the service on a node for a web app

[gramunno]

Hello,

I'm new to teleport.

I've installed the proxy/auth on a machine and it works fine.

I've created a token by executing the command

sudo tctl tokens add --type=app --app-name=<app_name> --app-uri=http://<node_address>:

The output of such command is the following

teleport app start
--token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
--ca-pin=sha256:YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
--auth-server=<tp_domain_FQDN>:443
--name=<app_name> # Change "<app_name>" to the name of your application.
--uri=http://<node_address>: # Change "http://<node_address>:<port>" to the address of your application.

I executed the last command on the node where the web app is located but it fails with the following output:

2024-10-01T09:42:25Z INFO Starting Teleport with a config file version:16.4.2 config_file:/etc/teleport.yaml common/teleport.go:756
ERROR: initialization failed
configuration error
config: cannot use both auth_server and proxy_server

Teleport version
Teleport v16.4.2 git:v16.4.2-0-ge414b8f go1.22.7

Surfing the Internet does not help.

Any idea?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Looks like you have a /etc/teleport.yaml already on the machine. And you are specifying auth-server as a parameter. Is the proxy server the same as the auth server in /etc/teleport.yaml? That parameter isn't required then.

Thanks a lot!
Actually I have the configuration file already on the machine and I specified the auth-server parameter on the command line. By removing from the command executed from console the auth-server parameter the app service started successfully.
