No idea why this isn't working. All I've done is create a payload project and run I am running a node instance on a machine on my local network, I have all ports open in ufw to my machine I'm currently working on. Terminal Reports:
The admin page loads and then both Chrome and Edge report:

No idea how to troubleshoot the issue as I can't see any files or anyone else having this issue. I'm running v16 of nodejs and mongo is working correctly and has built the Database and collections.

})
expressApp.listen(3000, async () => {
console.log('Now listening on port 3000');
});Then run |

localhost:3000.What I'd do is try and start a simple Express server listening on port
3000and then try and load it in your browser to see if you can access it.Create a new directory and put the following two files in it:
