Stuck upgrading to GE 4.6, install asking for cluster name & shared secret on single server deployment

Help! I am trying to install GE 4.6 and the post installer Geocortex Core setup is asking me to create or join a Geocortex Core cluster. I have a single server deployment so this doesn't make any sense. If I say I want to join an existing cluster (with my server name), I don't know where to find the "shared secret" and it won't accept a new one.

  Hi Heather - it's definitely confusing at first when that pops up.  When we did the upgrade to 4.6 I just selected 'create a new cluster' and entered a simple value for the shared secret (it's essentially just a password) - just make note of what you entered.  I believe the only reason you would need it is if you add another server to your cluster. 

   

  Doing this did not impact any existing Geocortex sites - they all function correctly after the upgrade using the create a new cluster option.

  THANK YOU. I don't know why it didn't take the secret I invented the first time, but putting in a simple one seems to have worked.
