Problem moving from TTNv3 to chirpstack

Issue: How to successfully move from TTNv3 to chirpstack

Setup:RAK7244 RPI4 + latest RAK firmware + LHT65 temp/hum sensor

Server: RPI4 All on same machine connected to local LAN

Details: I had the above setup installed and working on TTNv3. I have a working knowledge of Linux but no programming experience. Got lots of help from forums.

I want to setup a local configuration as I don’t really need an international operation. I don’t think many would be interested in the temp/hum reading for my crawl space.
Using “gateway-config” I have switched from a working TTN to chirpstack. I have filled in the information using GUI http://localhost:8080. I must be missing something as the dashboard is not showing any data activity at all. The chirpstack-network-server.toml file is set for US915.

Below I show that things are running "systemctl status chirp* " but I don’t understand the error messages. I have not tried to setup MQTT yet and just want to see if the system is working.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I personally find the gateway-config does such a splendid job of setting up so much ‘stuff’ that I rarely try a switch and mostly burn a new card - if only so I can swap back and forth as I want - which with OTAA allows me to have the same credentials on a device - bonus.

So I’d try flashing a new card (or back up the current one and put a fresh image on) and giving that a try - at least you then know you are starting from a clean sheet!

PS, I’ve formatted the logs with </> and the technical bits with the block-quote aka " on the toolbar. Makes it easier to read.

Thanks, Nick, you have helped me before. I must have read your mind as I decided to re-do the whole thing. I flashed a new card and started off by selecting chirpstack and its setup. Things seem to be working–at least I’m seeing some gateway activity and default info is showing up.
Again, much appreciated!
Cheers
