## 14. How to fix the script configure, stuck at `RequestError: connect ETIMEOUT 2606:4700:6810:223:443` (or similar ports)?

If you are having errors while running the configure script, similar to this:

```
YN0001: | RequestError: connect ETIMEOUT 2606:4700:6810:223:443
at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/cacti/.yarn/releases/yarn-4.1.0.cjs:195:14340)

```

Sometimes the IPv6 defaults can lead to npm registry being undiscoverable. To fix this issue, one can safely disable IPv6 defaults. One such way (via a different configuration file) to achieve this is:
1. Create a file `/etc/sysctl.d/60-ipv6-disable.conf`
2. Add the following contents to the file

```
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
1. Start the service: `service procps start`
