Unexpected response code: 500

Okay, I can't seem to get vault running correctly here, so I'm going to try to step by step this and see if I got it right.

a: download repos onto terraform server. That went swimmingly.
b: ran terraform-aws-vault/modules/vault-cluster and terraform-aws-consul/modules/consul-cluster/. This also seems to have gone well after setting the mandatory variables. I used the provided ami's because I'm just testing here.
c: ran run-consul-script --server on all 3 consul servers in the cluster.
d: ran "/opt/vault/bin/run-vault --tls-cert-file /opt/vault/tls/vault.crt.pem --tls-key-file /opt/vault/tls/vault.key.pem" on all three vault instances in the cluster.
e: ran vault operator init on a vault instance, and got the following error:

Error initializing: Error making API request.

URL: PUT https://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/init
Code: 400. Errors:

• failed to check for initialization: Unexpected response code: 500

So now I'm not sure what I might have done wrong. this seems like a lot of hoops, which I'm fine with, but for something I just wanted to test it's been pretty tricky to even look at it.

After rebooting and reloading and installing Dnsmasq I am still seeing the following:

'# vault operator init'
Error initializing: Put https://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/init: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8200: connect: connection refused

Please see the examples in the examples folder. Those are the ones you should be running if you want to take the code for a quick spin, as they show you how everything is meant to be wired together.
