I am new to Kong world and i am facing some issues installing Kong on my Kubernetes cluster. I wanted to also discover Kong Manager und I took the Kong Enterprise (free version) route. Below is my chart for installing Kong:

I have deployed this helm chart and below is the pod status:

I got the following logs by running:
kubectl logs -f my-kong-kong-7bc7f68574-7v7z7 -n kong -c proxy :

and this the output of ingress controller logs by running

I would like to know what the problem is and it can be fixed
any help would be appreciated.

You are setting the license_secret field in enterprise, but since you’re using Kong v2.3.x+ this field is no longer required:

Please try removing this entry (since it would appear no actual license secret is being created, nor is there a license file to do so) and see if that functions correctly for you.
