Hi,

New VM, running rocky linux VERSION=“8.7 (Green Obsidian)”

Ran through [1. Install Software From Package — Open OnDemand 2.0.20 documentation](https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/installation/install-software.html) and installed ondemand-dex, created ood user

sudo groupadd ood  
sudo useradd -d /home/ood -g ood -k /etc/skel -m ood

Browsed to the ip address of the server

hostIP/pun/sys/dashboard

Which shows an internal service error 500

I deleted the VM, and tried again just to be sure, but it shows the same error.

I have read a few of the support threads on here with similar problems and saw the recommendation to just go ahead and setup LDAP and skip the test user auth? Is that still current?

Hi and welcome!

Yea in 2.0 ondemand-dex being the default puts it into a weird state where you also need `mod_auth_oidc` which may not be installed.

What’s the error output from `/var/log/httpd/error.log`?

I think you need to set the servername in `/etc/ood/config/ood_portal.yml`. Once you do this, bounce httpd and see if you have the same errors.

```auto
# /etc/ood/config/ood_portal.yml
servername: 'openondemand.novalocal'

```

Note that you should also access apache through that servername. That is, you use that servername in the browser when you try to access the site.
