Stopped midway through the how-to-npm challenge (running local, not cloud9 - using Windows 10)
try to publish per the challenge and it says I need to npm adduser to authorize the machine, try to do that and get this

it worked fine the first day I used it, now there seems to be no server running on the localhost at port 15443, and no file to start one...
any help appreciated...
