Bowser wont connect to VM, Refused to connect.

[skydragon]

Hello,
I just installed Proxmox and I am trying to run Octoprint in a VM with Ubuntu Server. I can see it running in the terminal and I checked it at my router and it says it is running. I can also SSH into it, but my web browser says refused to connect. I am a NOOB, but I looked all over the net and I cant figure it out. HELP PLEASE??
Thanks, Larry

Hey,

how did you start Octoprint? This is just a wild guess, but it would explain the behavior you're seeing, skimming over their docs I saw you have to/can set the host IP, make sure you don't set it to 127.0.0.1(as in their example), because this would only allow a connection form the same machine the server is running on(so the VM itself). Rather use 0.0.0.0 as the host IP, which allows connections from everywhere.

where would i go to change it?

 

[skydragon]

I went into nano /etc/network/interfaces but there is nothing there. says it is not writable.

 

[bobmc]

lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN

does this show any listening ports on the system?

 

[skydragon]

Says no process id identified

 

[bobmc]

It's a capital P not lower case

 

[skydragon]

NOOB I changed it and it just returns me to my to larry@octomox:$ : there is nothing

 

[skydragon]

Sorry

 

[skydragon]

Should I see something or ?

You should see a list of ports on which your system is listening with the corresponding process. Make sure you run lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN as root directly or with sudo. Also, how did you start the Octoprint service?

Did you start with with
octoprint daemon {start|stop|restart} [--pid PIDFILE] [1]
or
octoprint serve [1].
Were any errors reported when you started it?

Here is what I see. I cant start octoprint or Im not sure how to start it from the terminal. I cant access it through the browser either.

 

[skydragon]

When I type octoprint serve says command not found

 

[skydragon]

I pretty much followed the Octoprint on github. I was wrong Octoprint didnt start. i was able to log in at terminal but thats where I am stuck.

Just followed the guide linked from github - seems to work OK

If you've followed the guide and installed in a python virtualenv then you need to use

./venv/bin/octoprint serve

to launch the program, then open a browser to http://<ip address of vm>:5000

 

[skydragon]

I tried it and it says command not found. Should I just forget it?

 

[skydragon]

I have done the install 3 times with no luck, There is also a youtube video on this and I did that as well.

I GOT IT!!!!! Capitalization is VERY IMPORTANT. I had the P in octoprint capitalized like the guide. I didnt do mine that way.
THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU THANK YOU
