## Issue Report

I’ve made an operator ID file, get public key (starting 0x7285..), used it in registration process on astral portal and register an operator ID #149. But when I entered this operator ID into my node starting parameters it returns me the following errors (see screenshots), while the required file is present in the specified directory. What can be the reason and how to solve it?

I’m not sure I can help you, but if you include your exact starting command it might help when someone smarter comes along. For instance, what is your --base-path given as? --base-path ./NODE ?  
And do you get a `INFO subspace\_node::commands::run: 💾 Node path: ./NODE’  
log on startup?  
I had the missing key message, but I had started a new db and forgot to copy the keystore folder to the new db location.
