# Trouble Shooting

> Trouble shooting your Bless Extension Node

If you're experiencing issues with the Bless Native Node, this guide provides solutions to the most common problems. If the issue persists, please open a support ticket in the [Bless Discord](https://discord.com/invite/blessnetwork) for further assistance.

  1. Check if port **9527** is already in use

     Run the following command to check:

     ```bash Terminal theme={null}
     sudo lsof -i :9527
     ```

     If the port is in use, either stop the conflicting process or change the port in your Docker command.

  2. Verify your `.env` file

     Ensure all required values are correctly entered and formatted.

  3. Check Docker logs for errors

     Run the following command to inspect logs:

     ```bash Terminal theme={null}
     docker logs blessnetwork-node
     ```

  4. Ensure your internet connection is stable

     A weak or unstable internet connection may prevent your node from connecting to the network.
