I want to start the alpha server single host configuration. So that I can use it.

> [@LimpingTwerp](#): > > `Connection lost with IPADDR:5080` This means that you haven’t start from scratch after a first try with “IPADDR” in the command instead of an IP or Localhost in the place. The solution is really simple, delete all files in Dgraph’s path(where you started it) and done. Cheers.
