[SDK] Error while creating a project
When running the command of 'li create-project' for creating a local repository and to connect to our development site (15.10), I'm getting this error: Invalid response from server. Check your serve...
Forum Discussion
It looks like there is an issue with running the SDK install on the version of NPM you are on. I tried it last week and ran into the same issue you did. I upgraded node.js to version 4.2.2 (which was the latest node.js "mature" version at the time) and then re-installed gulp and the SDK and everything worked fine for me again. Can you try upgrading node.js to to the latests 4.X.X version (looks like that version is 4.2.3 as of this post, but it was 4.2.2 last week when I tested this), then re-install gulp and the lithium-sdk modules:
npm install gulp -g npm install lithium-sdk -g
Thanks,

Thanks Doug.
On Mac I actually already had node version 4.2.2 but was still getting the error. On Windows I now upgraded to 4.2.2, re-installed both gulp and lithium-sdk and am still getting the same error when trying to create a project against our responsive dev site. Interestingly enough, when doing the same against our stage environment, project creation works. So the issue could be related to our responsive dev site.
I see that there's 1.0.1 version of lithium-sdk available so will upgrade to that one and then try again.
I am having trouble reproducing the issue on my mac. I was just able to create a project using your responsive stage site on my mac. Here are the details (with path names and hostnames changed of course):
LT3349:lia my.username$ node -v
v4.2.2
LT3349:lia my.username$ npm -v
2.14.7
LT3349:lia my.username$ npm ls -g lithium-sdk --depth=0
/Users/my.username/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.2/lib
└── lithium-sdk@1.0.1
LT3349:lia my.username$ li create-project

Hi miikka,
Were you able to get this working on your responsive stage site? I tried this on a windows 8 machine and was able to create a project. Here is the output from my attempt:

Hi Doug,
just tried again after updating gulp (now version 3.8.8) and lithium-sdk (now version 1.0.0) and unfortunately the issue still persists both on Mac and on Windows. Mac OS X version is 10.11.2 and Windows is Windows 10 version 1511. On Mac I have Python 2.7.10 and on Windows it's 2.7.3
This is very strange as creating a project against our regular stage instance works on both platforms, it's just that it does not work against the responsive dev site.
Cheers,
Miikka
