the first command is not executing. Please help me!

Perhaps in that URL, “rds” should not be followed by two dots.

Got it! Thank you so much for responding immediately.

I tried C1W2 lab today and did not get this error. Please let me know if you’re still encountering this issue

For other learners who might run into this issue: This is usually temporary. Click the Help (?) button on the upper right then click Reboot. This will reset the lab and might take a few minutes. After that, the command should now work and give you a valid endpoint. If it still fails after that, then you can report here so the staff can check.
