🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Server Won't Start?

# Check Python version
python --version  # Must be 3.9+

# Install missing dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pydantic-settings

# Check configuration
python -c "from src.core.config import config; print('Config OK')"

Database Connection Issues?

# Test database connection
python -c "
from src.database import create_database_manager
import asyncio
async def test():
    db = create_database_manager('postgresql', {
        'host': 'localhost', 'port': 5432, 
        'username': 'postgres', 'password': 'password', 
        'database': 'testdb'
    })
    print('Connected:', await db.connect())
asyncio.run(test())
"
