    <p>I'm using Meteor.js for a new project.</p> <p>It was working at first, but now when I run meteor it seems to start fine, but when I go to <code>localhost:3000</code> my browser automatically downloads an empty file.</p> <p>I tried clearing my cache, restarting my computer, reinstalling node and reinstalling meteor. I also tried running the meteor example apps, and creating a new app no matter which one I get the same result of an empty file being downloaded. At wits end, any ideas?</p> <p>I'm on OS X lion using Google Chrome.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>So, after messing around some more, I'm able to run the examples in <code>/usr/local/meteor/examples</code> if I use <code>sudo meteor --port &lt;some arbitrary port&gt;</code>.</p> <p>When I try that with my app though, it says it's running but I still get nothing.</p> <p>Headers from <code>curl</code>ing localhost on the example apps give:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK content-type: text/html connection: close transfer-encoding: chunked </code></pre> <p>While my headers are:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 00:51:47 GMT cache-control: public, max-age=31536000 last-modified: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 10:36:37 GMT etag: "0-1339324597000" content-type: application/octet-stream accept-ranges: bytes content-length: 0 connection: close </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> It looks like I get a proper error page if I explicitly throw an error. But, if there are no errors then my headers are wrong.</p> <p><strong>Edit3:*</strong> Or possibly it's an error with my environment, example apps no longer run and I get <code>Unexpected mongo exit code 127. Restarting.</code></p> <p><strong>Edit4:*</strong> Okay, so the mongo error was unrelated. I've tracked the problem back to gzippo, specifically if I comment out: <code>app.use(gzippo.staticGzip(path.join(bundle_dir, 'static_cacheable'), {clientMaxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365})); </code> in /usr/local/meteor/app/server/server.js</p> <p>and then have a CLEAR cache (start a new private session) it works! if my cache isn't clear, a blank file is still served.</p> <p>So, the static_cacheable directory isn't created which is why gzippo prompts a empty download.</p> <p>I'm not sure whether this should be patched in meteor's server.js or bundler.js ... going to file a bug</p>

    2. CO"It was working at first, but now"... What changed? I've found that if there is a JavaScript parsing error, or Handlebars error, then you often get an empty page. Have you ran meteor update from the command line? Have you installed any packages you need? (i.e. meteor add handlebars)

    3. COBTW, on browsers, I have had good luck with Firefox with Firebug. It is very good for diagnosing errors.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
