Suddenly Node-red gives a problem on deploying after even the smallest editing on a flow. Giving 'error: node not deployed' and the dashboard does not start (only the start screen with the Node Red logo).

On deploying a pop-up says : "the server is running a more recent set of flows. The changes include no conflicts and can be merged automatically.  
and 3 buttons : review changes, merge, ignore deploy.

On review changes, I then try to merge.  
another pop-up : The flows on the server have been updated.  
then the 'error: node not deployed' pops up...

Even stopping and starting Node Red (even in safe mode) does not do anything. Only a system reboot wil load the dashboard again.

running on a raspberry pi, with recent update/upgrade

You’re running node-red in another process on the same machine too. That’s why what you see in the browser wasn’t the actual flow deployed

How are you stopping node red and how are you starting it? You should be using node-red-stop and node-red-start.

Fixed it

I have no idea why, but I think node-red got corrupted.  
I deleted all node-red files and restoreded a backup.  
Everything seems to work again now.

I had the same issue and there where two things. First when you starts nom use another starting port or you are using a soapserver node.

Solutions:  
start with another portnumer for nom and/or the soapserver.
