error configuring the perfSONAR mesh


I have a zotac box and I am following the Instructions in here:

https://github.com/pragmagrid/perfsonar

The installation worked without any problem until I got to step 5 which is to configure the mesh client. when I run the command

$ /usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/generate_configuration
it gives an error

2017/01/19 10:31:41 (5567) ERROR> Agent.pm:362 perfSONAR_PS::MeshConfig::Agent::__configure_host - Can't find any host blocks associated with the addresses on this machine:
here is a copy of the meshconfig agent file if it will help most of the lines are commented by default tho.

Quote:
cat meshconfig-agent.conf
## Use 'mesh' blocks to to specify each mesh that the agent should
## configure the host against
#<mesh>
# ## Use 'configuration_url' to specify the URL where the agent should obtain
# ## the mesh configuration from
# configuration_url https://host.domain.edu/example.json
#
# ## To ensure that the configuration is trusted, you can set the
# ## 'validate_certificate' option to 1. This will validate that the certificate
# ## is valid, and matches the hostname. If the 'validate_certificate' option is
# ## set to 1, the 'ca_certificate_file' option must be set.
# #validate_certificate 0
#
# ## The 'ca_certificate_file' specifies which CAs to use to validate the
# ## certificates.
# #ca_certificate_file /etc/pki/tls/bundle.crt # the default RedHat CAs
#
# ## The 'required' field specifies that if this mesh isn't available, or has
# ## problems, to skip making any changes to the host configuration.
# #required 1
#
# ## The 'permit_non_participation' specifies that if the host isn't
# ## included in this mesh, the agent shouldn't thrown an error.
# #permit_non_participation 1
#</mesh>
#configure_archives 1
## You can define more meshes to configure against by adding more 'mesh' blocks.
#<mesh>
# configuration_url https://host.otherdomain.edu/mesh.json
# #validate_certificate 0
# #ca_certificate_file /etc/pki/tls/bundle.crt
#</mesh>
<mesh>
configuration_url http://data.ctc.transpac.org/meshes/pragma-mesh.json
</mesh>
configure_archives 1
## You can use the 'use_regular_testing' variable to disable having the mesh
## configuration generate the regular testing # configuration so that it will
## generate the traceroute master, owmesh and # pinger landmarks files instead.
## To do this, you'll need to set the variable to 0.
# use_regular_testing 1

## Use the 'regular_testing_conf' variable to change the location of the
## regular_testing.conf file that gets generated. In a normal configuration,
## these should be left as what's included below.
# regular_testing_conf /etc/perfsonar/regulartesting.conf

## Use the traceroute_master_conf, owmesh_conf and pinger_landmarks options to
## specify the location of the files to write. In a normal configuration, these
## should be left as what's included below.
# traceroute_master_conf /opt/perfsonar_ps/traceroute_ma/etc/traceroute-master.conf
# owmesh_conf /opt/perfsonar_ps/perfsonarbuoy_ma/etc/owmesh.conf
# pinger_landmarks /opt/perfsonar_ps/PingER/etc/pinger-landmarks.xml

## You can include one or more 'address' options to specify which address
## corresponds to this host. By default, the agent will attempt to guess the
## address using the hostname of the host, as well as the hostname IPs.
#address chic-pt1.es.net

# The 'restart_services' option can be used to specify whether the services
# should be restarted after their configuration is updated. If the
# 'use_toolkit' variable below is set to 0, you will need to use the
# 'cron-restart_services' cron script included in
# /opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/doc to restart the services.
restart_services 1

# The 'use_toolkit' option can be used to specify whether the agent should use
# the pS-Performance Toolkit's configuration daemon to save the configuration,
# and restart the services. If the agent is not installed on a toolkit
# instance, you will make sure that the configuration files listed above are
# all writable by user 'perfsonar'. The 'perfsonar' user cannot restart the
# services so you will need to disable 'restart_services' above, and use the
# 'cron-restart_services' cron script included in
# /opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/doc to restart the services.
use_toolkit 1

# The 'send_error_emails' option can be used to tell the agent to send an email
# (via sendmail) when an error occurs. These emails will be sent to the
# applicable administrators (e.g. the local administrator(s), the mesh
# administrator(s), the site administrator(s), and/or the host
# administrator(s).
send_error_emails 1

## By default, the from address for the error emails will be
## mesh_agent@[hostname]. However, if you'd like to specify a different email
## address, you can do so here.
#email_from_address admin@host.site.edu

## One or more 'admin_email' options can be included to specify email addresses
## to send errors to. These email addresses will receive all errors (including
## parsing errors). This is in addition to the emails that will be sent to the
## various affected administrators (e.g. the mesh administrator or the site
## administrator).
#admin_email admin1@site.edu
#admin_email admin2@site.edu


## The 'skip_redundant_tests' can be used so that if the meshes end up creating
## multiple tests between hosts with the exact same test parameters, it will
## only setup the hosts to only run one test. If you enable this, you won't see
## the skipped tests in the Toolkit GUI
#skip_redundant_tests
I really have no idea no this pls help

Sorry if this is a bit obvious, but...

Any line starting with a # is read as a comment, so you need to put your configuration parameters on a separate line.

I would expect the text
configuration_url

means that you just replace it with your configuration url ie
http://data.ctc.transpac.org/meshes/pragma-mesh.json

Similarly for any other entries.

I have no familiarity with this program - just following a few general principles.
