Mempool will not launch. All the Health Checks show ‘error’
First thing to do is look at the mempool logs. It will provide more detailed information on the issue.
Thank you for responding Jesse. The logs only show part of the 14 March (a few days ago) and show that it was failing to update. Here are all the entries into the Mempool logs:

Give the server a restart, then let us know what the actual health check error is. It’s unlikely it just says the word “error”.
While the logs do show there are errors, it’s not clear why Mempool would fail to pull the latest blocks, and whether it’s your Bitcoin that has issues, or Mempool. Check both.
Shut down and restarted. All is working now and looks good. Thank you.
