Organizing Projects

bolt.diy [bolt.diy] Issues and Troubleshooting

Hey Community!

Noob here and Im having issues understanding how to organize projects. For example I have been working on a project today. It was under Localhost 5174. All went well until for some reason it just stopped interacting with Anthropic and stopped displaying the preview.

After playing around, I lost that chat and don’t know how to return to it.

Having started a new chat, it went to 5173 everything works fine. But in the chat section it is no longer showing my previous app.

How do I get back to my old app?

Im trying to understand the following:
I have to run ottodev i.e. on 5173
I build an app within ottodev which runs on 5174 correct?

My http://localhost:5174/ gives me This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Can someone explain this for dummies? Id appreciate it.

Hey there,

Welcome! The issue with your lost chat is that the chat history is stored per host. The app only needs a single port to run, default of 5173. What most likely happened here is this:

  1. You ran one instance of oTToDev, defaults to port 5173
  2. [Developer stuff]
  3. You ran a second instance of oTToDev, which rolled to 5174 since the default port was used
  4. [Chat with 5174]
  5. Later instances appear on 5173, which have a different history.

You could either change the default port to 5174, or to make your life easier just run on 5174 long enough to get your project details out. Hope that helps

Edit: I accidentally do this, or run in the wrong browser all the time :rofl:

Thanks Mahoney! Will give this a shot. Does this mean the chats remain stored until I delete them? So there is a chance of recovering it.

Glad to hear Im not alone :rofl: Thanks for the empathy!

Great thanks again! Got it running again but all of a sudden I get an error without any details when prompting. I have enough Anthropic credits. What can I do from here?

Id appreciate any support!
