I am very happy to see the post of [General Availability of Application Subnets](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/general-availability-of-application-subnets/5171/9). I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, But when I tried to deploy using the dfx command line, it was normal when I created the canister, but I got an error when I entered dfx deploy ```auto dfx deploy --network=ic The invocation to the wallet call forward method failed with the error: An error happened during the call: 2: Couldn’t send message ``` why? ---

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to first create a canister from ICP. You can do this from the nns app or from dfx (by transferring ICP to the account-id returned by `dfx ledger account-id` then `dfx ledger --network ic create-canister --amount `) After this you can do `dfx identity --network ic deploy-wallet ` to deploy your cycles wallet. Then you should be able to deploy your canisters ---

The error is being caught in the wallet canister, and the error code is 2 which is ```auto SYS_TRANSIENT (2): Transient system error, retry might be possible. ``` Are you consistently reproducing this/have you retried? This is interesting, haven’t seen this ---

`dfx wallet --network ic balance` What is the cycle balance of your cycles wallet? ---

Your cycle balance is 37 billion. The cost of creating a canister is 1T cycles. I’m surprised that you didn’t see an error like ```auto The Replica returned an error: code 5, message: "Canister x6x47-ziaaa-aaaah-aaakq-cai attempted to send 11000000000000 cycles when only 10341424315024 were available in its balance" ``` Instead, you’re seeing error code 2 with can’t send message. Weird. ---

I just checked the canister deployed by others on [rocks](https://ic.rocks/canisters), it seems that it can’t be deployed. All are internal server error May be the same as mine ---

Hm I’m still looking into this. Did you happen to create you canister from the wallet UI or with dfx? I believe you used dfx right? ---

Good news, my dfx deploy is successful, and I can recharge the wallet a little more cycles. I’m very much obliged to you ---

The deploy succeeded? I took no action here so I can’t take any credit. I’m still chasing the root cause of the sys transient. You didn’t do anything else but try to deploy again right? ---

The only operation I did was to recharge the wallet with 0.4 icp Then it succeeded after redeploying The deployment failed until the wallet was recharged ---
