Getting Started: Setting Up a Local Dev Environment - and related bug fixes

@AndyatFocallocal @zdbrenda
At last I have managed to setup my local dev env and ran focallocal for the first time but there are a bit of strange things happening so kindly help me to fix those to be on the right track.

  • I have setup everything according to the pinned post above. However setting the ‘mapType’: ‘btm’ runs the btm site not the focallocal one also ‘mapType’: ‘gatherings’ runs the gatherings site. So, I wonder what is the correct setting for Focallocal site?

  • changing ‘mapType’: ‘*’ runs versions of the site that seems to be older I think (I deduced that may be I am wrong) so please clarify.

  • clicking on the big white arrow on the long dark gray bar does not take me to the local forum however gives a Error 522 connection timeout in all mapType cases as elaborated on the attached image below.

  • without touching anything the systems(i.e. maps) seems to be working in all mapType cases however, while running the npm tests I got 57 tests failing! If this is OK it is OK for me but if this is unusual kindly tell me what I may be doing wrong?

Kind Regards
