[Linux] Deadline repo does not contain the necessary database connection settings file

HI ! trying to install deadline repository on EC2 Linux machine (Ubuntu 20.04)

i’ve downloaded and set up mongodb. it is working and awaits for connection
DL installer seems to connect normally…BUT !
After the installation process stops asking questions it can not continue because:
“An error occurred while trying to update database settings in the repository.”
when i looked at the log files i saw this
" The specified repository path (/mnt/efs/data/dlrepo10) does not contain the necessary database connection settings file."
but why ? i’ve set this directory accessible for r/w for all users and

Why DL installation can not find or create these files ?

P.S. the installer can not download mongodb installation, though internet connection is ok. So i had to do it myself

here is the log:

There may be a network issue, or a valid repository has not been installed at this location. If one has not yet setup a repository, it is possible to do so using the repository installer included in the installation files.

Script stderr:
 child process exited abnormally

An error occurred while trying to update database settings in the repository.
