Hi! I just got a weird error where I start my Ktor server and it launches correctly and reads the config from my application.conf, but then it immediately shuts down with exit code 0. No errors printed or anything.

This is how I start the server:
```        embeddedServer(
                Netty,
                environment =
                    applicationEnvironment {
                        config = ApplicationConfig("application.conf")
                    },
                module = Application::startApp,
            )
            .start(wait = true)```
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

`Application::startApp` is called. I have a log statements there that gets printed

It seems correct. Can you share the logs?

```2025-03-18 18:35:35.857 [main] DEBUG io.ktor.server.Application - Java Home: /Users/hellman/.sdkman/candidates/java

I checked any nothing else is running on that port. Also tried changing the port in application.conf

Anything in application.conf causing it to have a funky behaviour :grimacing:?

Not that I can tell. Started removing things but now I'm down to no configuration and just a basic route that always responds with ok, and it still fails to start.

I think my computer is haunted. :sweat_smile:
