Hi there, I am very new to Flow and started with the Kitty-Item project. Followed the instructions to deploy to local dev env. Web server started well, and I can login. Just it does not load data. From the network traffic, it is trying to access port 3000 to read data. However I checked all containers deployed and it does seem to have any service deployed to port 3000. Did I miss any basic thing? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/flow/original/1X/09ccbfe911652eec137e8cc8e85274826cab14fa.png) Thanks! ---

Turned out the api container failed to start: > kitty-items-api@0.0.1 dev /api > tsnd src/index.ts --respawn --dev ``` sh: tsnd: not found npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! syscall spawn npm ERR! file sh npm ERR! errno ENOENT npm ERR! kitty-items-api@0.0.1 dev: `tsnd src/index.ts --respawn --dev` npm ERR! spawn ENOENT npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the kitty-items-api@0.0.1 dev script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2021-08-22T11_52_26_109Z-debug.log ``` But I have no idea what caused the crash during startup and the npm debug log it mentioned is not present. ---

@Mackenzie Maybe you know what is going on here? ---

Pulled the latest code, cleaned up the docker images and rebuilt and the issue is gone. Thanks for looking into. ---

Bumping this thread as I have a similar issue it seems. I am able to run the web fine and also able to login. But am getting a number of GET errors on :3000 (e.g. when I try to Mint). Similar to poster, it doesn’t seem like the API service is running on that port. When I run the emulator though it prints out a message: `API server started` and that the api is running on 3000. It’s also not printing out any errors after that it seems. Any ideas? ---

Of course I figured it out like 5 minutes after I posted - `npm rebuild` in the API directory fixed everything!
