### Common Issues



**Server Won't Start?**

```bash

# Check Python version

python --version  # Must be 3.9+



# Install missing dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install pydantic-settings



# Check configuration

python -c "from src.core.config import config; print('Config OK')"

```



**Database Connection Issues?**

```bash

# Test database connection

python -c "

from src.database import create_database_manager

import asyncio

async def test():

    db = create_database_manager('postgresql', {

        'host': 'localhost', 'port': 5432, 

        'username': 'postgres', 'password': 'password', 

        'database': 'testdb'

    })

    print('Connected:', await db.connect())

asyncio.run(test())

"

```



**AI Features Not Working?**

- Verify OpenAI API key is valid

- Check API quota and billing

- Test with simple queries first



**Visualizations Not Generated?**

- Ensure matplotlib/plotly are installed

- Check data format and column types

- Try with smaller datasets first
