I had node-red running for a couple of weeks on raspberry pi and had been working very well. I was modifying some sample nodes that I found online when the it became unresponsive. Its possible I did something that created some sort of infinite loop. I restarted raspberry pi and node-red... it seems to start normally but still no response via a web interface.

In case you don't know how to run it from the command line then, assuming you installed using the Pi install script from [https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi) then run

```bash
node-red-stop
node-red-start

```

I ended up deleting the file flows\_raspberrypi.json and it came back to life... I had copied it to another location first so I was able to import that back in and salvaged the good parts.
