N8n web interface blank screen error

Help everyone, the n8n web interface is showing a blank screen with console errors when I try to access it. What can I do to diagnose whether this is caused by browser cache or server side issues, and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Welcome to the n8n community @Miliaga

This happened to me on both my local setup and the n8n cloud version. I suspect it is either a browser issue or something wrong with the server.

First, clear your browser cache and try a different browser. For the cloud version, check n8n’s status page status.n8n.io to see if there was an outage. On your self hosted setup, check the Docker container logs with `docker logs <container_id>` you may find a startup error due to a missing `N8N_CONFIG_FILES` variable in your .env file. You can fix it by adding `N8N_CONFIG_FILES=/n8n/config.json` and restarting the container. Also make sure the server has enough memory at least 1GB and that port 5678 isn’t blocked by your firewall.

Let me know if this helps
