I can not seem to generate a preview of the project in the preview window. Any time Bolt says it has fixed the problem, nothing appears but a black screen. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Can you provide your chat history please and also tell what Model/Provider you are using?
Sorry, I tried to find out how to get the chat history and upload it here, but I can’t figure it out. Maybe some tutorials in the tutorial section that show how to obtain some common information requests here could be helpful to some newbies. I have used different models like Gemini and Deepseek in OpenRouter, and Deepseek with my API. All used to try and solve the problem to no avail.
You can export it in your project, where your prompt:
then upload it here by drag and drop into your message your the upload icon:
“Sorry, new users can not upload attachments.” This is the message I get when I try to upload the file.
ah ok, upgraded you. now you can.
Here it is! I hope this helps. I closed my browser and now the localhost for Bolt wont show up in the browser.

Ok, as far as I see you did not start from scratch in bolt.diy, instead you imported a project build with bolt.new, right?
The project is not imported correctly. you got the project folder duplicated.
Its “/home/project/projects”, but the code should be directly in /home/project, so make sure on import you choose the folder which contains the files, no folders in between.
I started the project in Bolt.New. I then tried to clone it from github but that wasn’t working for me so I download the zip and uploaded it to Bolt.Diy. This was just a test to see if I could get it up and running in the Diy. I do have the most updated version that I will be importing to Diy. What is the best method for me to do this that will get me the preview working properly? Also, where do if find the
“/home/project/projects”,
and if it can be easily explained easily or a link to the solution, how do I change it?
than you for your help with this.
Can you provide me the original project on bolt.new please. If private, make it public or secret and send me the link. Then I can test it out myself and tell you how to go properly over to bolt.diy
After I switch it to secret, do I just copy the url in the address and send you that one?
yes should work. just send it here or via PM to me.
@Fearless here a short video how I exported and imported into bolt.diy.
These were the same steps i followed at first. Have deleted the original project on Diy and uploaded it again with success! Thank you again for your time and help with this issue. I really appreciate it. I also appreciate your Youtube videos that I have previously watched. I didn’t realize who I was speaking with until I sent you the private chat.
