[Solved] "Web Interface" button greyed out. Web server not running.

Post by MrZoolook »

Like the title suggests, the Web Interface button is greyed out and unclickable. Typing the server address (http://localhost:9001/) opens a standard not found page. I even tried disabling the firewall entirely. Am I missing some option in the advanced settings that actually turns the web interface on?

There might be something preventing the web interface from starting. Will only know why if I can see the logs. See the section in red above.

As requested. I also installed Java JRE and JDK, just in case.

I noticed this in your log file:
2 10:06:24.793 [main] FATAL ERROR: Unable to bind web interface on port: 9001, because: Address already in use: bind
INFO 2022-08-12 10:06:24.793 [main] Maybe another process is running or the hostname is wrong.

You could try another port for your web interface. Try changing this in ums.conf.
# Web port
# --------
# The port that the web interface can be accessed by.
# Note: Users can try to use port 80 in case that port is not being used by
# another program. Port 80 has the benefit that it's not necessary to explicitly
# define the port and only localhost (e.g. http://192.168.0.100) is needed to
# open the web interface.
# Also the web interface can be opened only by http://[pc name] which is useful
# in case the DHCP is used in the network and the address for the PC running UMS
# is assigned dynamically.
# Example: 7000, which means the web interface is at localhost:7000
# Default: 9001
web_port =

Amazing, thank you. Port 9001 was indeed being used. By the Intel Graphics Command center service, of all things. Changing the port to something else worked.

Quick question because it seems like new account cannot create new topic. How else can I ask for help?

I should, but the site tells me "Forbidden. Message seems to be spam." while I have no idea how to do it.
