Hey, im new to circleci and want to use it for an existing projekt that has used it in the past. My goal is to start a build. So i try to use the existing config.yml as shown here: ibb .co/41ngf3B This is the config.yml ibb .co/SKvTrmB What happens when i press the Start Building Button in the first Screenshot i get redirected here: ibb .co/Rvf7nzm And Nothing happens. But there is no error i can look at. Does anyone have an idea what i can do? Thanks 🙂 ---

> [@jualin](#): > > imageupload .io/sYOkuWqsUZ8pKrs Thanks, and if you try pushing new code to the branch that has your configuration file, do you still get no pipelines running? ---

> [@jualin](#): > > When i start a build it only shows up these but no new build running… I’m wondering if this occurred during a time when GitHub was having issues which may have caused the symptoms you’re seeing: [GitHub Status - Incident with Git Operations, Issues, Pull Requests, Actions, API Requests, Codespaces, Packages, Pages and Webhooks](https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/xb30mby9fs5x) Could you try pushing again and letting me know the results? ---

I tried to push again and the result is the same still no build and the status is created. ---

Is there nothing i can do to get some kind of output to debug? or maybe should i change the config.yml to something simpler? ---

weird…does the same thing happen even with a new repo with a new .circleci/config.yml file? is the config file just a basic hello world? [Hello world - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/hello-world/)
