Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
A bug happened!
I just installed ther server version on a Windows 2016 Standard, with no error (some warnings).
After starting the service and trying to access the http://localhost:5006, I was able to define my password and than to choose between "Demo" or "Fresh start". Both of options give me the error:
Something internally went wrong. You may want to restart the app if anything looks wrong. Please report this as a new issue on Github"
And, on the page, says "Creating budget" forever.
I verified about this issue and I wasn't able to find any answer. Sorry if there is.
Thanks in advance!
Diego

Hey! Could you try and open the console window and have a look at the logs please? F12 in the browser, and then click over to the console tab should show some errors in red. Could you send them in here?

@MikesGlitch Any thoughts?
@MikesGlitch commented on GitHub (Aug 7, 2025):
No idea, but I'm assuming it's indexdb related/something isn't stored when it should be.
Results in an undefined here:
e21256e7a2/packages/loot-core/src/platform/server/fs/index.web.ts (L170)@diegodemorais How are you running the server? Are you using CLI tool/Docker? Have you tried other browsers?
@diegodemorais commented on GitHub (Aug 7, 2025):
Hi guys.
Thank you for the attention.
I have downloaded the source and built from there.
The SO is a Windows Server 2016 Standard. Is it Windows-compatible?
I guess the problem is related to configuration file, reading the 'filepath'.

@diegodemorais Were you able to do a
yarn build:browserbefore running? It looks like the default db file was not copied over to the data directory.@github-actions[bot] commented on GitHub (Oct 7, 2025):
