Troubleshooting

Backend Not Starting

bash
# Check if port 8000 is in use
lsof -i :8000

# Kill existing process
kill -9 <PID>

# Restart backend
poetry run uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Frontend Not Connecting to Backend

bash
# Check proxy in webpack config
# Should have: /api → http://localhost:8000

# Or check env var: VITE_API_URL

Database Connection Issues

bash
# Check MongoDB is running
mongosh mongodb://localhost:27017

# If not running, start with:
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

Indexes Not Created

bash
# Run index creation script
poetry run python -m scripts.create_indexes

# Verify in MongoDB
mongosh
> db.Content.getIndexes()
