Use this page to troubleshoot system issues such as service startup, page access, and data connections. See [Frequently asked questions](https://docs.asktable.com/en/reference/faq) for issues using individual features.

## Before you begin

Record the current state before restarting:

- Record the project name, feature entry, time of occurrence, and exact interface message (or API error code and HTTP status).
- Include a trace ID if available: “Copy trace id” on the conversation page.
- Determine the scope: one person or multiple people; one project or all projects. This directly determines where to investigate.
- For private deployment, first confirm you can log in to the host, run `docker compose ps`, and inspect container logs.

| Container will not start after upgrade | The main service is not running in `docker compose ps`              | Inspect container logs to identify the cause; roll back using pre-upgrade backups, as described in [Version upgrades and migration](https://docs.asktable.com/en/deploy/migration) |
