[error] Oops! An error occurred while running setup.  
Setup log saved to /var/log/tower/setup-2025-03-31-11:32:08.log.  
[teja@gateway ansible-automation-platform-setup-2.5-10]$ but when i fix nginx error by killing process envoy and modifying uwsgi stream and rerun setup.sh again the error is the same about nginx . is the problem i’m installing gateway and controller on the same VM ? I tried to use different ips for controller and gateway but same result
