Failed to create key: missing protocol

Support Installation and Deployment
1

I run tyk for quite some time now, with an keyless api.
I am experimenting with using authentication. Following the tutorial, I get an error message when I try to save my first key. Tyk presents a popup saying

Failed to save new session object to Tyk: Failed to create key: Post tyk-dashboard.mydomain.nl:8080/tyk/keys/create: unsupported protocol scheme "tyk-dashboard.mydomain.nl"

I think the protocol is missing there. I don’t know where this is configured, though. Who can tell me where this can be done?
In the api definition itself, it says

API URL: Domeinnaam Mydomain.nl overnemen? Koop nu en start met je plan.
That includes the protocol… And everythings seems to be functioning as expected. This is the first time I hit this ‘misconfiguration’. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Ruud

Hi Ruud,

in your analytics config, tyk_api_config.Host you must include the protocol as well as the hostname.

thanks Kos,

I got it working myself by running setup again and specifying --tyk_node_hostname=http://myurl instead of --tyk_node_hostname=myurl.
I had to reinstall the license though, so your advice is much better.

regards, Ruud
