Fixes so far

updated C:\github\DevDocs\next.config.mjs

to

"C:\github\DevDocs\config\next.config.mjs"

Next

C:\github\DevDocs\tsconfig.json by copying the content from /config as it was getting a similar error

I'm now stuck with this

PS C:\github\DevDocs>

I do believe its still a file permissions issue, but I tried the manual and command prompt fixes and nothing.

This is what I got
PS C:\github\DevDocs> icacls logs /grant Everyone:F /T
processed file: logs
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
PS C:\github\DevDocs> icacls storage /grant Everyone:F /T

Would love some help as im stuck!

Quick update, got it working!

I copied all the contents of the files in /config to the root directory files.

I applied full permissions to the root folder

I know what's going on, Devdocs was built on a Mac with the line ending formatting in Mac of /n and when you on windows run it by copy pasting it, the formatting changes and it works. It's just OS formatting issue and it works perfectly.
