# Troubleshooting
## The signal-cli-rest-api docker container won't start (signal_messenger_signal-cli-rest-api_1 exited with code 0)
If your docker container stops with `signal_messenger_signal-cli-rest-api_1 exited with code 0`, make sure that the host port isn't already occupied by another process (see [here](https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api/issues/2)).

## Sending a message suceeds, but no message is sent
According to [this](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/202) signal-cli ticket here, the receive endpoint needs to be called regularily. So, if sending a message seems to work, but no message is sent, please try to call the [Receive API endpoint](https://bbernhard.github.io/signal-cli-rest-api/#/Messages/get_v1_receive__number_).

## Cannot send message - "User xxxxxxxxxx is not registered"
If you get this message, even after linking your Signal account, it could mean that the running container is starved of resources (memory/CPU) and executing its functions too slowly [more details](https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api/issues/696#issuecomment-3170449881).
