Why is nodeos not producing blocks?

Question

I have been following this EOSIO guide and cannot seem to get past step 2 of section 1.5.

https://developers.eos.io/welcome/latest/getting-started/development-environment/start-your-node-setup

I start keosd and nodeos, but when I check if nodeos is producing blocks (step 2.1: $ tail -f nodeos.log), I get this:

   nodeos  raw.hpp:286 unpack
Error unpacking field new_producers
   {"field":"new_producers"}
   nodeos  raw.hpp:367 operator()
error unpacking eosio::chain::signed_block
   {"type":"eosio::chain::signed_block"}
   nodeos  raw.hpp:644 unpack
rethrow
   {}
   nodeos  chain_plugin.cpp:1074 plugin_initialize

I have been googling and checking forums but I cannot find a solution. Please can someone help!

First of all, please double-check your startup command as yours is modified comparing to the example:

nodeos -e -p eosio \
--plugin eosio::producer_plugin \
--plugin eosio::producer_api_plugin \
--plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin \
--plugin eosio::http_plugin \
--plugin eosio::history_plugin \
--plugin eosio::history_api_plugin \
--filter-on="" \
--access-control-allow-origin='' \
--contracts-console \
--http-validate-host=false \
--verbose-http-errors >> nodeos.log 2>&1 &
