Trying to follow the stork quick start guide 
https://kb.isc.org/docs/stork-quickstart-guide

Installed client and then try to register using
                   sudo su stork-agent -s /bin/sh -c 'stork-agent 
register --server-url http://stork.example.org:8080'
corrected to:
                  sudo su stork-agent -s /bin/sh -c 'stork-agent 
register --server-url http://172.27.0.245:8081'

The only active lines in server,env and agent.env are theses:
  grep -v ^# /etc/stork/server.env
STORK_DATABASE_USER_NAME=stork-server
STORK_DATABASE_PASSWORD=
STORK_REST_STATIC_FILES_DIR=/usr/share/stork/www

   grep -v ^# /etc/stork/agent.env

STORK_AGENT_PORT=8081

and the result is:
$ sudo su stork-agent -s /bin/sh -c 'stork-agent register --server-url 
http://172.27.0.245:8081'
 >>> Enter the Stork server access token 
(optional):                       ****the token is entered *****
 >>> Enter IP address or FQDN of the host with Stork agent (for the 
Stork server connection) [pcr-svr2.pcr.local]: 172.27.0.245
 >>> Enter port number that Stork Agent will listen on [8080]: 8081

Am I missing something?  What should I be looking for?
