HyperLedger Fabric First Network Setup Issues - hyperledger-fabric

I'm newbie in the HyperLedger Fiber Technology and I'm following this official tutorial to build my first network. I replaced example.com with the domain of my company. After generating certificates I ran the follow command to up my network:
./byfn.sh up -c ttchannel
I get the following error during channel creation:
Error: got unexpected status: FORBIDDEN -- Failed to reach implicit threshold of 1 sub-policies, required 1 remaining: permission denied
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Channel creation failed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I verified from PEERs containers that peers are already connected with this channel (don't know why and when this connection got established), So, I restarted this network and then got the following error:
Error: failed to create deliver client: failed to load config for OrdererClient: unable to load orderer.tls.rootcert.file: open /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/vodworks.com/orderers/orderer.vodworks.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.vodworks.com-cert.pem: no such file or directory
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Channel creation failed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then I verified in the CLI container that crypto directory wasn't accessible so I have to restart that container to make it accessible. but still I was unable to run it.
Can anyone please suggest that what these error means and how can I run my network?

Where exactly did you change "example.com"? I'm pretty sure the setup script also creates all the crypto material based on configtx.yaml file, that has "example.com" as domain everywhere. The docker-compose files then map the created folders as volume into the container (see docker-compose-base.yml):
../crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp:/var/hyperledger/orderer/msp
So the docker-compose file also expects the certs to be in this folders. From your description I would expect that you missed to change the domain at some point.

The Reason of this error was that network was not going down properly. All the peers were connected with the channel already as I verified by running the command peer channel list inside the container of each peer which was resulting in the following output:
Channels peers has joined:
ttchannel
And with this situation, the command peer channel create ... was actually throwing this error. So, I'm able to run the network successfully with the following command:
**./byfn.sh restart -c ttchannel -s couchdb -t 60 -d 10**
Which actually first put the network down and then start it again.

Sample chaincode failing to create channel

I am trying to run the Token ERC-20 sample chaincode, using the hyperledger fabric binaries I built from source (I am trying to modify the source code, so it defeats the purpose to download pre-built binaries).
The first time I attempted this, everything worked fine. But for some reason, after rebuilding and updating the binaries, channel creation now fails.
Here's what's happening. I run this:
./network.sh up createChannel -ca
And I find the following warnings & errors in the output:
Local fabric-ca binaries and docker images are out of sync. This may cause problems.
and:
Error: Post "https://localhost:7053/participation/v1/channels": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:7053: connect: connection refused
Channel creation failed

Cannot update fabric channel config using new admin identity

Background
We have a production fabric cluster setup and has been been running for a year. Now most of the certs expire and the cluster crash, including both tls and identity certs.
I tried to fix by completely removing old certs and private keys, generate and enroll new identities for peer, peer admin, orderer, orderer admin.
Everything works again, but I cannot instantiate/upgrade chaincode in existing channel because the channel was configured with old admin certs.
Problem
So now look like I'm stuck in a deadlock. In order to update channel config with new cert, I need to sign the update with matching old cert, which is already expired and blocked by orderer.
I find out that we can disable expired cert check in orderer using ORDERER_GENERAL_AUTHENTICATION_NOEXPIRATIONCHECKS=true. But now I don't have the old admin private key so I still cannot update the channel config.
Questions
I already replaced old private keys with new one so there is no way to use the old cert again.
Can I do something to resolve this channel issue?
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
[!] What I'm suggesting is an idea. I haven't tested it.
[!] It seems to be feasible enough, but side-effect is not considered.
[!] It's just a trick, it's correct that it should never be done.
The conclusion is that the orderer and peer's binary can be artificially manipulated and updated.
For fabric, refer to $GOROOT/src/crypto when building binary.
Build in the fabric repository after artificially modifying all ecdsa verify functions in crypto to return true immediately.
cd $GOROOT/src/crypto
vi ecdsa/ecdsa.go # modify `Verify` function
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric
make peer
make orderer
Back up the binaries of the currently running docker container, and rerun after planting the newly built binaries in the container.
docker cp <peer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/peer ./
docker cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/build/bin/peer <peer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/peer
docker cp <orderer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/orderer ./
docker cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/build/bin/orderer <orderer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/orderer
docker-compose -f <your_docker_compose_file_path> restart
Now all verify is valid unconditionally. so, update all recent status.
Afterwards, the backed up binary is replanted into the container to solve this problem.
docker cp ./peer <peer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/peer
docker cp ./orderer <orderer_container_name>:/usr/local/bin/orderer
docker-compose -f <your_docker_compose_file_path> restart

Hyperledger fabric: fabric-ca request register failed with errors [[{"code":20,"message":"Authorization failure"}]]

I am trying to create a new identity with this command: composer identity issue -c admin#siemens-network -f administrator1.card -u Administrator1 -a "resource:org.siemens.Administrator#001"
But I get the following output:
Issue identity and create Network Card for: Administrator1
✖ Issuing identity. This may take a few seconds...
Error: fabric-ca request register failed with errors [[{"code":20,"message":"Authorization failure"}]]
Command failed
I already restarted the fabric but it still doesn't work
Please check admin#siemens-network card has existed
composer card list
If you do not have this card, access the folder containing the createPeerAdminCard.sh file and run
./createPeerAdminCard.sh
Hope it helps you.
I deleted all cards, restarted the network and reimported all cards. Now it's working

Hyperledger fabric local and docker versions out of sync

I am trying to run the build your first network example. When i go ./byfn.sh generate it works. But when I do ./byfn.sh up it gives me a warning:
Local fabric binaries and docker images are out of sync. This may cause problems.
and an error:
got unexpected status: BAD_REQUEST -- error authorizing update: error validating DeltaSet: policy for [Group] /Channel/Application not satisfied: Failed to reach implicit threshold of 1 sub-policies, required 1 remaining.
Above the warning the versions are written:
LOCAL_VERSION=1.3.0
DOCKER_IMAGE_VERSION=1.3.0-rc1
But I downloaded the fabric using the command:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/fabric/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash -s 1.3.0-rc1
(the full link is since I can't post bit.ly links)
which should have installed 1.3.0-rc1 as local version.
Anybody knows why is my local version showing as 1.3.0?
Check the docker-compose.yaml the services maybe are pointing to the 1.3.0-rc1 in the services maybe you can point to the 1.3.0 just set the image section in each service.
image: hyperledger/fabric-orderer:$ARCH-1.3.0
This is an example for the orderer service, you should do it for all.

Fabric java SDK New channel foo error. StatusValue 400

I used Mac OS.
When I was running Fabric java SDK,I met this Error:New channel foo error. StatusValue 400. Status BAD_REQUEST。How to fix it?
Checking the docker logs for the orderer will help. to do this, get the containerid of the orderer by running
$ docker ps
Then, check the logs for the by running
$ docker logs <containerid>
Some potential reasons are:
that the channel name has illegal characters (e.g. channelAllowedChars = "[a-z][a-z0-9.-]*", from https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/0631ccd2b1e30f56088dd3905a78bfb73a93ed51/common/configtx/manager.go).
The client that's being used to create the channel does not have the proper user context and thus fails certificate validation (needs to be a valid peer organization user with an MSPID to allow the certifcate and key to be verified).
