  • Openshift local running error

    Posted on

    Hi.
    I'm just trying to run Openshift local but I get the following error message:

    "Error running post start: host file not writable, try running with elevated privileges"

    The full output from the Powershell is as follows:

    PS F:\Program Files\Red Hat OpenShift Local> crc start -p ..\pull-secret

    I'm running CRC on my Windows 11 Enterprise. I thought that it had something to do with Windows Host file located at /system32/drivers/etc, so I granted full control permission to all users on my PC over the Hosts file, then stopped and started again the CRC but got the same error. Any idea?
