Noob here, please help with connecting to domoticz via web browser

[gixfighter]

Hi, noob here and new to odroid, Ubuntu and domoticz.
Hardware: odroid c4
Software Ubuntu 20-04-5 lts 64b
Domoticz v2022-2

Installed domoticz using terminal script and it’s active.
But I cannot acces locally via Firefox running on odroid,
Also not via another computer in the network.

Fixed ip is set at 192 168 2 89

I’m stuck here, have searched and tried a lot but cannot get it to work.

[waltervl]

Should be accessible with http://<IP-of-Domoticz-server>:8080 or https://<IP-of-Domoticz-server>:443

How do you know it is running?

Else check wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Getting_started or for troubleshooting wiki: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

[gixfighter]

Thanks for the help.

I know it’s running because when I request the status it tells me it’s active.

I have screenshots but unable to post due to size and not able to scale them down from this device.

Also when I manually start domoticz it starts with no errors. Previously I had ssl errors but managed to resolve that issue.

I will try the troubleshooting link from above post, I didn’t come across that one before but I don’t see a clue in there yet.

I also cannot access through http://127.0.0.1:8080/ on the odroid itself as the ‘getting started’ information says. Which seems like it’s not a network settings issue.

[gixfighter]

Btw, when do you need to fill in user and password for domoticz? I haven’t seen where I can do that yet.
Sorry for being a noob, I’m thinking too difficult maybe.

[waltervl]

You are using 2022.2 Stable I presume so no worries about logging in accounts.
What with https url? Also not working? As SSL has something to do with https.
Else I would advise to run ./updaterelease to get Domoticz reinstalled.
What does the log file say when activated to write to OS (see troubleshooting wiki to activate)

[gixfighter]

This ithe result of manual starting,, which appears to be ok in my opinion.

The log doesn't seem to work (log file not created), but sure I'm doing this wrong. I've added the last four lines to domoticz.sh:
DAEMON=/home/$USERNAME/domoticz/$NAME
DAEMON_ARGS="-daemon"
#DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -daemonname $NAME -pidfile $PIDFILE"
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -www 8080"

but now when I manually start I get this with some errors:

[gixfighter]

just noticed I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, which is 2yrs old. should I upgrade to 22.04? I'm not sure why I am running 20.04, think I've downloaded the wrong version. 20.04 is at the top of the download link page, which is kinda odd.
Can I do the update without installing all over? or better to download the image to the SD card?

[waltervl]

20.04 is fine
It seems that Only the IPv6 adresss ( :: ) are running, it should also mention something like:
WebServer(HTTP) started on address: 0.0.0.0 with port 8080

Did you do something on this? Do you have another webserver running on this machine? Perhaps try using another port than 8080 with startup parameters eg -www 8090

[gixfighter]

I only set static IP adress in IPv4 settings, IPv6 is still automatic.
I now got this, when trying 0.0.0.0 it gives permission error:, something to do with permission in network settings? I don't know ...

I eventually decided to start over with newest OS 22.04 and works directly. Not sure if this was a incidental issue or related to latest stable Domoticz with Ubuntu 20.04.

thanks for the help.

[waltervl]

OK, good to know it runs again. I myself run Domoticz on a system with Ubuntu 20.04 so that should be no issue.
