Hi I’m running on Windows 10 and following the setup instructions located here: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/master/docs/how-to-setup-freecodecamp-locally.md
I’ve managed to get to the part npm run develop but it seems to get stuck after it’s connected to the database.
I can successfully go to http://localhost:3000/explorer/ but when I try going to http://localhost:8000/ I get a “This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect” error.
This is a know issue. As soon as it is resolved the contributors channel on Gitter and the forum will be notified.
Thanks for your patience 
Ah cheers! Good to know
Is there any update on this issue? I am facing a similar issue where I can access the contents of localhost:3000/explorer but not localhost:8000
I am able to access localhost:8000 now. Not very clear why it worked. Curious to know though. This was what I had done:
I was running mongod in command prompt and npm run develop in git bash shell
I stopped mongod by pressing ctrl-c and similarly stopped npm run develop command by typing .exit
After that, I was able to access localhost:8000.
Also in my git bash terminal, now I see this:
