[PROBLEM] Cannot access UI at all

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hello there,

I am pretty new to Moode, but as a I just found my old Raspberry PI A, I thought I could give it a try.

Here is what I did, working on a Windows 10 machine

- downloaded the most recent image and wrote it on an 8GB S card.
- put the card into the Raspi
- connecetd an ethernet cable to the Raspi
- connected the ethernet to a powerline network extender which is connected to my router.
- only THEN plugged in the USB power 

The Raspi did seem to boot just fine. after a while, I could spot he new Moode device shown in myrouter menu and also could find out its IP. I can ping the IP without problems, but when I use the browser to goto http://...[ip adresss seen in my router], I only get an error message that the site cannot be reachd (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED) . Same when I got to moode.local or http://moode/ -- no connection...
Somehow it seems that Moode does not start its Webserver frontend ?

Any ideas, anybody?

Thx, corduroy

Hi, corduroy.

You could ssh into your moOde player and from its command line examine the log files to see what's happening. Also, from moOde's command line you can grep for nginx master and worker processes to see if the web server is running. E.g., "ps aux|grep nginx" should return 5 lines of nginx processes.

Windows 10 has an ssh client accessible via PowerShell but, at least when I first tried it, was still optional. See, e.g., How to Enable and Use Windows 10's New Built-in SSH Commands.

Or, if you've installed Windows Subsystem for Linux and a Linux distro, you have a built-in Linux host to work from.
