The connection to the server 192 168 99 101 8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to connect my minikube cluster. But it shows me the below error.

[root@localhost ~]# kubectl get pods
The connection to the server 192.168.99.101:8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

This error may occur because of network connectivity. Minicube VM works only host only mode. So make sure that your client machine has host only adapter.

I suggest you to shutdown your cluster and check your network connectivity.
