In line 68 you can change that
<center><p><a href="/login/sendlink" style="text-decoration:none;">${passwordclickhereLabel}</a></p></center>

Replace your text with ${passwordclickhereLabel}

Please help ...

I dont know where to run the command also

java_dev_appserver --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war/

Hello @XPF_Support

You will need to check that no other program is using port :8888 and that there's no other Appinventor instance making use of the port.
One way to find out processes using the port and killing them is the following:
1- Run netstat -ano | grep ":8888" in a gitbash terminal

You should be listed a process and its PID ( the last one at right )
2- Using the PID you get earlier, run tskill PID to trrminate the process.

Check path for Google Cloud SDK

Horizon · March 19, 2022, 7:03am

You have to use this command in git bash

java_dev_appserver.sh --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war

Aarush_Kumar · March 19, 2022, 7:39am

when using java_dev_appserver cmd in git bash dont forget to add .sh or .cmd which will make the cmd java_dev_appserver.sh --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war

abhi0 · March 19, 2022, 7:43am
