Centos8  
Dgraph v20.03.0

Download and installed successfully as follows:  
`curl https://get.dgraph.io -sSf | bash`

Then I wanted to start my zero use:  
`dgraph zero --my=localhost:5080`

And I failed and got an error of:Read index content time out

I tried to use  
centos7+dgraph v1.2  
centos7+dgrapg v20  
centos8+dgraph v1.2  
centos8+dgraph v20  
All failed

Really need some help here 😅

This seems like a temporary warning. Did your Zero process get killed? From your logs, it looks like Zero has started fine. Can you try hitting the `http://localhost:6080/state` endpoint?

Here is what I got 🤨:

```auto
{
    "counter":"4",
    "zero":{"1":{"id":"1", "addr":"localhost:5080", "leader": true}},
    "cid":"a6bd230d-3f3f-461d-9da8-f6f47d2e7ec6",
    "license":{"maxNodes":"18446744073709551615", "expiryTs": "1590471474", "enabled": true}
}

```

Just as you said, its working fine now!  
I guess the `Read index content time out` is not a big problem 😄  
Thanks for helping me！
