🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Node.js version issues:

# Install Node Version Manager
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

nvm install 18
nvm use 18

Port already in use:

# Kill process on port 3000
lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9

# Or use different port
npm run dev -- -p 3001

Environment variables not loading:

• Ensure .env.local exists in root directory
• Restart development server after changes
• Check for typos in variable names

Database connection issues:

• Verify Supabase URL and keys
• Check project status in Supabase dashboard
• Ensure database schema is properly set up

OpenAI API issues:

• Verify API key format (starts with sk-)
• Check billing and usage limits
• Ensure GPT-4 access is enabled
