Hi, 

I had the same output on a centos7.
I added the option -v to get more verbosity and I was able to see that the installer cannot generate the certificate.

Done.

I installed openssl and I was able to complete the installation.

did you resolve this? I am trying 6.1.1 on RHEL 7.9 and using the RHEL 7 install getting the same issue

@ada64 

Can you confirm you have downloaded the centos7 version of the installer?

Have you also disabled any SELinux capabilities on the server?

Other than that the error isn't too clear. Can you try the centos8 version on a centos8 box?

[ada64]

I installed the soar on  rehl8 os in google cloud machine. But how i will reach the soar web interface?

[phanTom]

@ada64 if you have console access to the VM then you need to find the IP address it's using and just go there via HTTPs. 

https://<your_phantom_ip_or_hostname> 

Once there you can log in as soar_local_admin / password.
