🆘 Troubleshooting

Port already in use?

# Find and kill process
lsof -i :3001  # Backend
lsof -i :3000  # Frontend
lsof -i :5432  # PostgreSQL

Database connection failed?

# Verify PostgreSQL is running
pg_isready

# Check .env DATABASE_URL
cat backend/.env

npm install fails?

npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

See QUICK_RUN_GUIDE.md for detailed troubleshooting.
