Make sure HOUSTON_URL corresponds to the port where houston is listening. Check your HOUSTON_URL environment variable:

Get-Item Env:HOUSTON_URL

Then run docker ps and double-check the houston port in the PORTS column. By default they should both be using port 1969.

thanks
i have included the response from the commands suggested.
they look ok!
i uninstalled a vpn application as quantrocket and vpn does not seem play nicely.
i can now ping houston successfully
however when i try to access: http://localhost:1969/juypter

This localhost page can’t be found
No webpage was found for the web address: http://localhost:1969/juypter

is there something i am missing
thanks

#4

For whatever reason I don't see quantrocket/jupyter in your docker ps output. Make sure it's in your YAML file and then bring it up:

docker-compose -p quantrocket up -d jupyter
#5

well done you have fixed it.
it was in my YAML file but for some reason it never started
thanks
