I have been following this link : http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_network.html#troubleshoot for starting my first network, using byfn.sh file, and have executed all steps till 

export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $CHANNEL_NAME

The error that I am getting is:

I have tried variations of the command,

export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannelanother  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $CHANNEL_NAME

export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannelanother  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $mychannelanother

export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $mychannel

I even tried creating a channel without using byfn.sh file, but got a different error

I modified the /home/himani/fabric-samples/first-network/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/tlsca/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem doc by referring to this link : https://gerrit.hyperledger.org/r/#/c/18177/ , and executed the command again, but to no avail.

Are my certificates outdated? Where can I find the right ones? Is the issue something else?

UPDATE: After referring to a solution provided to a similar problem, Hyperledger Fabric v1.1.0 byfn tutorial on Ubuntu 16.04, I brought down my network and tried to clean up artifacts but I couldn't execute those commands. Channel artifacts folder is empty.

I couldn't execute those commands

This command is meant to add files in channel-artifacts folder, but for some reason the folder was not created automatically. On creating one, with adequate permissions, the command executed and genesis block was created.

I don't know if you have solved it or not, but there are some mistakes there.

himani@himani-HP-Notebook:~/fabric-samples/first-network$ export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannelthis  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $CHANNEL_NAME2018-06-07 11:42:00.552 IST [common/tools/configtxgen] main -> INFO 001 Loading configuration

if you are following the tutorial, CHANNEL_NAME should be mychannel.

for the 3rd variations, it should be like this

export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel  && ../bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID $CHANNEL_NAME

for creating channel, peer channel create can only be send inside docker container. If you are sending directly from command line, try this

docker exec -it yourCliContainerName peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c mychannelthis -f ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx --tls --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem

but remember to start the container first.

hope this helps
