Server not working - rogerwilco - 2024-10-16

Hello!

I have a Jellyfin server (v10.9.11.0) running as a service in Windows 10.  It has been configured for a month and has been very happy until today.

I went to the http://localhost:8096/ url, and it didn't respond.  I rebooted the machine, same thing.

I checked the Windows Services panel, and Jellyfin was running.  I've restarted the service there, and it made no difference.

I have launched Jellyfin.exe from the C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server and I get the "DOS box" with all the startup stuff, and then URL calls work, but I am guessing this is not using the configuration that still appears to be in the C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server folder which appears to have all the correct config files present.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your time!

Could you share your most recent server log using Pastebin? You can find it in C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\log.

Hey, theguymadmax! Thanks for replying.

Here we go: https://pastebin.com/DhsqE2AL

There's only one error that is presumably to do with the fact that I've found the uPNP port forwarding to be unreliable, so I've set up a manual port forward in my router.

*time passes*

OK, this is odd.  When I access the server from another computer (using "computer-name:8096") it works.  Doing the same thing on the actual server PC also works.  But "localhost:8096 doesn't, and I'm 99.9% sure that it used to!

You configured Jellyfin to only bind to the LAN interface.

Code:
[2024-10-16 16:44:02.102 +01:00] [INF] [1] Jellyfin.Networking.Manager.NetworkManager: Bind Addresses ["192.168.1.19"]

It will no longer respond on the local loopback (localhost or 127.0.0.1) when configured in this way.

Thank you for that, TheDreadPirate.  You'll most likely kill me in the morning!

I've removed that specific IP address from the "Server Address Settings", restarted the server, and all is now well. 

Many thanks!
