The information in the terminal makes it impossible for me to judge the specific cause of this 500 error, I checked a lot on google and stackoverflow, but found nothing. I even asked chatGPT and it's driving me crazy, please help me, thanks!

Hi! It would be easier to debug if you provide your server's code, as the 500 error can be caused by multiple issues.

Thanks! You mean the code of dev-server.js?

const { config } = require('@wipi/config');
const cli = require('next/dist/cli/next-dev');

const port = config.CLIENT_PORT || 3001;

try {
  cli.nextDev(['-p', port]);
  console.log(`[wipi] client started，port：${port}`);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`[wipi] Client failed to start! ${err.message || err}`);
}

To clarify: I debugged this blog on my laptop about a year ago and it worked, and it was great! After several updates of my fedora system, I'm confused by this strange error.

I'd say I made a really stupid mistake:
I mentioned the fedora system update above. Fedora may automatically install the latest version of node.js when it is updated, but the way I use node.js is to install it manually: download it to the home directory, and then modify the environment variables. (use the latest version with caution)
Just like this, there are two versions of node.js in my system at the same time, and the strange error I mentioned above appeared.

Thks,@tiagorangeldesousa，thanks for your answer, and thanks for taking the time to look at my stupid question.
