[Bug] Gauzy Server on Windows fails with "Error processing argument at index 0, conversion failure"

[KarinaNi]

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• OS Build: 19045.4291
• Ever Gauzy Version: v0.474.15
• Application: Gauzy Server

I'm attempting to run the Gauzy server on localhost:4200. I have installed PostgreSQL and tried to create a database with a password. After clicking on "Check and Save," I tried accessing both localhost:4200 and localhost:3000, but both resulted in a "refused to connect" error. Additionally, the Gauzy server gets stuck at the starting stage, and a dialog box with a "P" button briefly appears and disappears. I also have postgresql.exe install and tried to run it. It doesn't come quite an app like it does on Mac.
I checked the log file and found the following error. I have changed my username to the word UserName

@KarinaNi it looks like your available work area resolution is relatively low (see log messages):

• width - 1429
• height - 768

So it seems something failing in our code when it tries to resize the Window of the Server app....
I'll push some updates and will ask you to check again, hope it will fix issue... Will update you!

Thank you!

[evereq]

@KarinaNi can you try to install pre-release version from https://github.com/ever-co/ever-gauzy-server/releases/tag/v0.475.8 and let us know if it helps or not. If not, send again log file output please :)

[KarinaNi]

Ok, thank you for the support and I have some updates. I managed to get hold of the picture that kept disappearing I attached. It lead me to the server main log in the app as I expected. However, 0.0.0.0:4200 refused to connect. I do have a firewall working if that is relevant. I added the updated log files here. Please tell me what i am doing wrong or my next steps. Thank you! If there is a better way of showing log files, do let me know.

Hm, can you try latest final release https://github.com/ever-co/ever-gauzy-server/releases/tag/v0.475.9. It seems you hit now another issue that we fixed in the past already.
Also, if you have issues to make it work, try to replace "0.0.0.0" with "127.0.0.1" for example during setup. It's not really related to issue you are getting I think, but sometimes 0.0.0.0 binding may not work on Windows, while 127.0.0.1 works. Also for production, you probably will have to use your server external IP there instead anyway!

[KarinaNi]

so I did try replacing "0.0.0.0" with "127.0.0.1" it gave some reloading of gauzy server logo and then

But i guess you mean while setting up i switch the IP right? I will install latest release and see if i can change IP

[KarinaNi]

Tried changing IP in setup and it was server down maintenance error again

[evereq]

OK @KarinaNi , so server down maintenance message means that frontend cant connect to API. Show logs that you see now. I suggest to do this: stop server, remove log files, start server wait till all load and you see that message, copy log files and send here. Also show screenshot of the Gauzy Server running with output too so I can see output. Basically, you seems very close to have it running now...

[KarinaNi]

Okay so I tried running the server again, I didn't delete the log files, started the server again and the log is as follows. The app log was only giving a few lines so i just got this all from main.log
