@Brody these are the sets that i took The error message you provided indicates that the Strapi server failed to start properly due to a missing jwtSecret configuration for the users-permissions plugin. This error occurs when the JSON Web Token (JWT) secret is not set, which is required for user authentication and authorization. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps: 1. Generate a JWT secret: You can generate a JWT secret using Node.js by running the following command in your terminal:

   node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(16).toString('base64'))"

   node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(16).toString('base64'))"

2. Set the JWT secret in the environment: For security reasons, it's recommended to store the JWT secret in an environment variable rather than hardcoding it in your code. Set an environment variable named JWT_SECRET and assign it the value of the generated JWT secret. You can do this by adding the following line to your .env file or through your hosting provider's environment variable settings:

   JWT_SECRET=your_generated_jwt_secret

   JWT_SECRET=your_generated_jwt_secret

3. Configure the jwtSecret in Strapi: Open the config/plugins.js file in your Strapi project and locate the configuration for the users-permissions plugin. Set the jwtSecret property to process.env.JWT_SECRET to read the value from the environment variable. Here's an example of how the configuration should look:

   module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
     // Other plugin configurations
     "users-permissions": {
       jwtSecret: env("JWT_SECRET"),
       // Other users-permissions configurations
     },
   });

   module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
     // Other plugin configurations
     "users-permissions": {
       jwtSecret: env("JWT_SECRET"),
       // Other users-permissions configurations
     },
   });

4. Restart your Strapi project: After setting the jwtSecret configuration, restart your Strapi project to apply the changes. You can stop the currently running Strapi server and start it again using the following command:

   npm run develop

   npm run develop
