Hi all, I’m stuck getting OpenClaw running on my Mac and could use some help.
I’m on OpenClaw 2026.3.13 on macOS. I did a fresh install today (deleted ~/.openclaw, reinstalled, ran openclaw doctor, accepted the recommended repairs, and ran openclaw daemon restart).
But the gateway never stays up. openclaw channels status --probe always shows:
Gateway not reachable: Error: gateway closed (1006 abnormal closure (no close frame)): no close reason
Gateway target: ws://127.0.0.1:18789
Config: /Users/socializerender/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Mode: local
- Discord default: enabled, configured, token:env
This is happening before I add any custom agents or bindings. The dashboard URL http://127.0.0.1:18789/#token=... also won’t load because the port is never bound.
I’ve tried:
Fresh reinstall from the current install command on openclaw.ai
openclaw doctor and openclaw daemon restart
New Discord bot and token
Could someone help me figure out why the gateway on 2026.3.13 is closing with 1006 on my Mac, or point me to a known issue/fix for this?
