Installing Splunk SOAR On-Prem Unprivileged User- Why are we getting this error?

Hi,

I am trying to install Splunk SOAR 6.0.1 for Linux. I've followed the prerequisites here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SOARonprem/6.0.1/Install/InstallUnprivileged and built a VM running CentOS 7.9.

I've run the prepare script as above too and everything came back fine (I'm not running in FIPS mode, this is for a home lab).

I then run the install script with --ignore-warnings because it keeps shouting about the need for a 500GB disk, the disk attached to the VM is 500GB, but it thin provisioned in VMware ESXi v8.0.0. The install goes ok and then I get the below error message when it tries to start Splunk SOAR.

[splunksoar-adm@NEST-Splunk-SOAR-01 splunk-soar]$ sudo ./soar-install --splunk-soar-home /opt/splunk-soar --https-port 8443 --ignore-warnings
[sudo] password for splunksoar-adm:

No idea what's causing it to fail and can't find anything online. Let me know if you need more info, any help will be appreciated.

Cheers
