Having a few issues

[paulg]

Hi, I am new to n8n so I presume I’m doing something wrong, but I’m having a couple of issues.

I can’t get the chat to work. It just continually gives me the typing gif:

Also, the “Stop listening” button doesn’t seem to do anything. I have clicked it three times and it still says “Stop listening”

Here is my setup for the chat:

I also tried submitting a form:

and when I hit submit, it still says it’s listening:

And, again, if I hit “Stop listening”, nothing seems to happen.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Sorry for the multiple posts. I didn’t realize my posts were getting automatically flagged and hidden.

Hey @paulg

To start it would be worth dropping the n8n_basic_auth options, they have not been used in over a year. Oddly I have seen people using them a few times did you use some AI or an outdated tutorial to set up n8n?

Looking at the issue you have described it sounds like maybe you are using nginx as a reverse proxy and have not configured it to use websockets, if you are not using nginx can you let me know.

Thanks @Jon
I did resolve this today and jsut didn’t get around to posting here yet. It was an Nginx issue that was blocking the SSE
