Steps to reproduce

Download the latest CRC version
Run the installer
crc setup
crc start

Expected

The cluster starts, and the Console is accessible via https://console-openshift-console.apps-crc.testing

Actual

The cluster starts, I can ssh to the VM and run oc/kubectl commands. But the console is not accessible. See the screenshot:

Logs

Before gather the logs try following if that fix your issue

$ crc delete -f
$ crc cleanup
$ crc setup
$ crc start --log-level debug

Please consider posting the output of crc start --log-level debug on http://gist.github.com/ and post the link in the issue. https://gist.github.com/gregnsk/37681dc23eef15b7da1fefb29cd91e2c

Sorry to pick up the discussion again but I just spent 2 days now trying to get it running with exactly the same situation/error.

A lot of re-installations and combinations with user vs. admin permissions and using the new GUI installer/tray icon vs. using the shell crc command etc. etc. and no matter what I did I always ended up with the final statement that it cannot update kubeconfig because of the expired certificate.

The API endpoint reports:

{
  "kind": "Status",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {},
  "status": "Failure",
  "message": "forbidden: User \"system:anonymous\" cannot get path \"/\"",
  "reason": "Forbidden",
  "details": {},
  "code": 403
}

And trying to login gives:

oc login -u developer https://api.crc.testing:6443
The server uses a certificate signed by an unknown authority.
You can bypass the certificate check, but any data you send to the server could be intercepted by others.
Use insecure connections? (y/n): y

Error from server (InternalError): Internal error occurred: unexpected response: 404

Because VMware workstation was mentioned here several times I tried shutting everything down that was related to VMware, also disabling network interfaces etc. but nothing changed. And then I completely uninstalled VMware Workstation purely out of desperation/frustration and after VMware Workstation was removed the next try with delete/cleanup/setup/start worked!

I have no idea why VMware Workstation would have such an effect but if anyone (like me) comes across this issue here give it a try, it might be worth it.
