Hello!  
I’m trying to configure Icinga Director via Web GUI, but at the moment I’m stuck because the kickstart wizard gives me this error:

 ![icingadirector_error](https://community.icinga.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d90538aec151e86ae27eae605e55f94bde7dc42f.png)

Now, I’ve already seen on different posts that other people have already encountered the “CURL ERROR: permission denied” or “CURL ERROR: Failed to connect” but I can’t seem to find anyone that has found and/or solved this with the “Could not resolve host”, if anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated!  
Thanks in advance!

I tried setting the Icinga Host to 127.0.0.1 like you said and now the error message changed to: “I found no Endpoint object called demo-icinga on 127.0.0.1:5665 (KickstartHelper.php:360)” so I guess that the configuration until now is missing this “Endpoint Object”, but througout the whole set-up it never asked me to set an Endpoint Object, so how can I solve this?  
Thanks in advance

did you setup the icinga node using **icinga2 node wizard**?

Just found out, thanks to your reply, I could simply use the icinga2 node wizard!  
The tutorial I was following didn’t pass that part so I didn’t know it, thank you very much!
