# How to Start the Server ## The Problem The "Not Found" error means the server is **not running**. You need to start it first. ## Solution: Start the Server ### Step 1: Open a PowerShell Terminal Make sure you're in the project directory: ```powershell cd C:\Users\tarun\IITMTdsPrj2 ``` ### Step 2: Set Environment Variables ```powershell $env:QUIZ_SECRET = "EasyQuiz" $env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6IjI0ZjIwMDU3NTNAZHMuc3R1ZHkuaWl0bS5hYy5pbiJ9.eji7L5I62M9YHoeEKE8ao6eTw8dFjgDIMP9C3lOUXc4" ``` ### Step 3: Start the Server ```powershell python -m app.main ``` You should see: ``` INFO: Started server process [...] INFO: Waiting for application startup. INFO: Application startup complete. INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit) ``` **Keep this terminal open!** The server runs in this window. ### Step 4: Test in Another Terminal Open a **NEW PowerShell window** and run: ```powershell # Set variables again (in the new window) $env:QUIZ_SECRET = "EasyQuiz" # Test the API $body = @{ email = "24f2005753@ds.study.iitm.ac.in" secret = "EasyQuiz" url = "https://tds-llm-analysis.s-anand.net/demo" } | ConvertTo-Json Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8000/demo" -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body ``` ## Quick Test Script I've created a test script. After starting the server, run: ```powershell .\test_server.ps1 ``` This will test all endpoints and show you what's working. ## Troubleshooting ### "Module not found" error ```powershell pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### "Port already in use" error Another process is using port 8000. Either: - Stop the other process - Change the port: `$env:PORT = "8001"` then restart ### Server starts but endpoints don't work - Make sure you're using the correct URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8000` or `http://localhost:8000` - Check for errors in the server terminal - Restart the server after code changes ## Summary 1. ✅ Start server: `python -m app.main` (keep terminal open) 2. ✅ Open new terminal for testing 3. ✅ Set variables in new terminal 4. ✅ Test API endpoints
