Can not connet to api server, retrying ...

[KIC]

I can not get the fabric8 api server up and running while I can easily use plain minishift.

$>gofabric8 start --minishift --disk-size=10g --memory=2048 --cpus=2 --package=system --namespace fabric8

minishift is already available on your PATH at C:\Users\XXX\Apps\minishift.exe
oc is already available on your PATH at C:\Users\XXX\cache\oc\v3.6.0\oc.exe

ok I have figured out the way around this through this doc http://fabric8.io/guide/getStarted/minishift.html.
but when the console starts up login as admin/admin

[estumbo@localhost-estumbo ~]$ minishift start --memory=6000
-- Starting profile 'minishift'
The 'minishift' VM is already running.
[estumbo@localhost-estumbo ~]$ oc get pods
error: You must be logged in to the server (the server has asked for the client to provide credentials)
[estumbo@localhost-estumbo ~]$ oc get pods

[estumbo@localhost-estumbo ~]$ oc login -u system:admin <<<*****-------!!!!!

If this your first deployment then it may take a while to download the docker images, please be patient.
