localhost:3000 wont work

[seabiscuit90]

Hi Brad,

Creating an issue here so it helps others as well. I basically have Windows 11 running with WSL2 enabled and Ubuntu LTS installed. I have the WP site running with Localwp. However, when I run the command yarn run preview I see the following but the http://localhost:3000 seems to have stuck. It wouldn't load anything on the browser. Just keeps spinning.

I personally think this issue is related to WSL2.

Do you have any insights on this?

Hello, for me with WSL2 the first time everything works as expected. But something happend after reeboting.

now localhost:3000 is stuck
and for some reason /build/index.css file dissapear

What worked for me?
change ip address from 127.0.0.1 to virtual machine ip on /etc/hosts file

example on WSL2:

$ sudo vim /etc/hosts
172.31.62.144 localhost

and then restart the service

$ sudo service network-manager restart

then excute on theme's folder root: $ npm run preview

Finally open your borwser and visit localhost:3000
