Hello team.

I came to realise just now that all questions and discussions are supposed to be moved here. Can someone please tell me what i am missing ? Here is the discussion i started on github.

Hello!,

After the run-devenv command is executed you should have access to a [tmux](https://tmuxcheatsheet.com/) with four tabs. Could you please check what’s happening inside those four tabs?

They seem to all be running with no errors. I noticed there is a step for creating an initial profile[1] but that is not documented for the dev environment. Perhaps that is the issue ?

How do i run create-profile from the dev environment in one of the tmux ?

```auto
docker exec -ti penpot-penpot-backend-1 ./manage.sh create-profile

```

</div>

It shouldn’t be related to that…

That manage.sh isn’t exposed directly for devenv (in devenv you can register users by default)

Could you please attach screenshots from the different tabs?, where are you executing the curl from?

You can also attach to the running docker with something like “docker exec -ti penpot-devenv-main /bin/bash” and from there launch something like “tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log” to see if there is more info about the nginx error

when i do that curl command this is what i see in the nginx logs

```auto
tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

That can be the problem, let’s check the permissions on that folder:

```auto
docker exec -ti penpot-devenv-main /bin/bash
ls -la /home/penpot/penpot/frontend/resources/public/

```

Hi guys I too was faced with a similar issue, so after executing command docker exec -ti penpot-devenv-main /bin/bash

cd …  
chmod +x /home/penpot  
chmod +x /home/penpot/penpot  
nginx -s reload

This worked for me

That worked !!!

Thank you. Now i am wondering how do i create an account so that i can login ? perhaps this would be a good addition to the devenv setup guide ?

Hey,

I too had asked the same question 😅 😆, so after starting just go to create account on homepage and follow the process and at the same time in another tab go to [http://localhost:1080/](http://localhost:1080/) here you’ll receive the email verification link and on clicking it you would be able to login.

P.s: I also started clojure recently and working on penpot locally, let’s connect over linkedin :  
[https://www.linkedin.com/in/vatsalsmehta/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vatsalsmehta/) so we can help each other out if we could.

Thanks

Hi @vatron

I am using penpot as a hobby to learn front end development. I sent you a connection request in linkedin. Again thank you so much for your help!

@vatron @ymolists I’m learning clojure as well and looking at penpot code as a learning experience … this post was helpful as I had the same 403 forbidden error …

Us chatting about clojure might be a nice small newbies-to-clojure community … Would you care to join my new discord server ? : [JoeStar's server](https://discord.gg/EEkMrA6EDE)
