***I have decided to install the Steemit.com website to my laptop here so that I can play around with it and see how easy it will be to make my own website that connects to the Steem blockchain. I have it running, but am encountering some glitches.. anyone know why?***

I used [this tutorial](https://steemit.com/steemdev/@codewithcheese/run-your-own-steemit-locally-with-testnet-condenser) to edit the latest version of the Steemit Condenser that I downloaded from Github so that it runs in debug mode and also connects to the Steemit Test Net instead of the main, live production network. 

That all worked OK after I corrected a syntax issue in one of the docker commands needed to build and run the project locally. 

However, I noticed that after a short while, the website would become unresponsive until I stopped the server running and then relaunched it.

I attempted to create an account for the test net but I see: Internal Server Error on the page where I enter my phone number and if I go ahead and 'Continue' after entering the number, I see:

Anyone know what I'm missing here?



Wishing you well,
