Failing on "Fetching data from Squarespace..."

I have tried sqs buster but when I run sqs server I get as far as logging into the config and then in my terminal it stalls at this stage: Fetching data from Squarespace...
No matter for how long I leave it or how many times, it never gets past this stage. Subsequently if I then try to refresh the page, it falls over with the following error:

My template.conf is like this:
{
"name" : "Base Template",
"author" : "Squarespace",

"layouts" : {
    "default" : {
        "name" : "Default",
        "regions" : [ "site" ]
    }
},

"navigations" : [ {
        "title" : "Main Navigation",
        "name" : "mainNav"
} ],

"stylesheets" : [ "base.less" ],

"systemCollections" : [ "products" ],
"server": {
    "siteurl": "https://paulkiernan.squarespace.com",
    "password": "xxxxxxxxx",
    "sandbox": true
}

}

Any help would be appreciated!

Just stumbled on this after having the same problem. I fixed the issue by logging into Squarespace (https://mysite.squarespace.com/config) and creating a page in the pages section and setting that as the homepage. Hope that helps someone!

@bbk-sdp-2015-pkiern01 - do you have an active homepage set? I've seen this issue mentioned by @bradders happen quite a bit for folks that don't set an active homepage.
