Windows, i can't make this work

1

Hi, i can’t make it work in windows. How should I run node-red?

24 Apr 14:49:56 - [info] Red Bot Mission Control is not enabled.
24 Apr 14:49:56 - [info] Enable it running with the REDBOT_ENABLE_MISSION_CONTROL environment variable:
24 Apr 14:49:56 - [info] REDBOT_ENABLE_MISSION_CONTROL=true node-red -u /my-user-dir

When i open a terminal and run “node-red REDBOT_ENABLE_MISSION_CONTROL=true -u /my-user-dir” it doesn’t work. I go to http://localhost:1880/mc/ and it says
Cannot GET /mc/

what am i missing here?

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.

You should set your own key using the ‘credentialSecret’ option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Strange I don’t see any errors in the log, unfortunately I don’t have windows so it’s difficult for me to test it.
Do you see any errors in the system console when you try to access localhost:1880/mc?
Seems that the admin is running on a differet port / base dir? Can you handover the settings.js (after you removed all sensible informations like tokens, secret, etc) so we can give a look and check if there’s some configuration I didn’t take into account.
