I have a Foundation project working and basically everything works except when I try to view a Catalog (i.e https://localhost:5001/en/fashion/mens/mens-shoes/). I know I need to modify the appsettings.json "changeme" values - I have

Initial

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"EPiServer": {
"Find": {
"DefaultIndex": "changeme",
"ServiceUrl": "http://changeme",
"TrackingSanitizerEnabled": true,
"TrackingTimeout": 30000
},

SocketException: No such host is known.

System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntryOrAddressesCore(string hostName, bool justAddresses, AddressFamily addressFamily, ValueStopwatch stopwatch)

HttpRequestException: No such host is known. (changeme:80)

System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.ConnectToTcpHostAsync(string host, int port, HttpRequestMessage initialRequest, bool async, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

WebException: No such host is known. (changeme:80)

System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

ServiceException: No such host is known. (changeme:80)

EPiServer.Find.Api.Command.GetResponse<TResult>(IJsonRequest request)

Tried to change to:

"EPiServer": {
  "Find": {
    "DefaultIndex": "localhost",
    "ServiceUrl": "http://localhost",
    "TrackingSanitizerEnabled": true,
    "TrackingTimeout": 30000
  },

"EPiServer": {
  "Find": {
    "DefaultIndex": "Index",
    "ServiceUrl": "http://localhost",
    "TrackingSanitizerEnabled": true,
    "TrackingTimeout": 30000
  },


but get this error.

You will need to setup a development index, this can be done at https://find.episerver.com/

I did this and the error no longer shows, but nothing shows up under the Mens and Womens clothing categories and catalog pages

Your index is initially empty. You will need to Re-index the catalog by going to CMS > Admin > Find Content Indexing job. Once you run it your search index will be populated with the entries. You can check if by going to the top navigation menu, selecting Search & Navigation > Overview

Lika Aniket pointed out, navigate to the admin interface » scheduled jobs » Search & Navigation Content Indexing Job » start manually

It is also a good idea to check your preferred settings here
