Sometimes the IBM Skills Network Labs environment encounters an error (e.g. a 502 Bad Gateway Error) and is unable to start. We're working to fix all of these errors.

In the meantime, the best way to get past this issue is to log out of the lab environment. The lab environment has a separate account system from the course. To log out of your lab, move your mouse cursor over the account dropdown (in black) and choose Logout from the short menu that pops up.

After you log out, you should reload the whole page in your browser.

You can now launch the lab environment again by clicking on the Start Lab button.
