🔧 Troubleshooting Local Preview

Issue: Server won't start

Check 1: Python installed?

python --version

Check 2: In correct folder?

cd ProVerbS_LaW_mAiN_PAgE

Check 3: File exists?

dir integrated_chatbot_with_logos.py

Issue: Logos don't display

Solution: Check assets folder exists

dir assets

Should show:

  • logo_1.jpg
  • logo_2.jpg
  • logo_3.jpg
  • logo_main.jpg

Issue: Logos don't rotate

Solution: Wait full 60 seconds

  • Logo changes happen exactly at 60-second intervals
  • Be patient and watch the timer

Issue: AI doesn't respond

Solution: Need Hugging Face token

  • Login required for AI inference
  • Or test the UI/layout only

Issue: Port already in use

Solution: Change port Edit integrated_chatbot_with_logos.py line 595:

server_port=7861,  # Changed from 7860

📊 What to Look For

✅ Good Signs:

  • Logos display clearly
  • Logos rotate smoothly
  • Chat interface is responsive
  • All tabs work
  • Mode selector changes modes
  • Layout looks professional

❌ Warning Signs:

  • Logos don't appear
  • Logos are stretched/distorted
  • Chat doesn't respond (expected without HF token locally)
  • Tabs don't switch
  • Layout is broken
  • Mobile view is cramped

🎨 Testing Logo Rotation

Method 1: Watch in Real-Time

  1. Start preview
  2. Note the current time
  3. At 0:00 - Logo 1 should display
  4. At 1:00 - Logo 2 should fade in
  5. At 2:00 - Logo 3 should fade in
  6. At 3:00 - Logo 1 returns

Method 2: Use Browser DevTools

  1. Right-click on logo → Inspect
  2. Watch CSS classes change
  3. See display: block / display: none toggle

Method 3: Speed Up (For Testing)

Temporarily edit the rotation speed:

In integrated_chatbot_with_logos.py line 298:

// Change from 60000 (60 sec) to 10000 (10 sec) for testing
setInterval(showNextLogo, 10000);

Remember to change it back before deploying!
