Q Light Controller+

New install. Headless. No HDMI monitor to play with...

sudo qlcplus service status shows:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service qlcplus status

So it looks like it's running? Not sure what active (exited) means...

NMAP shows:

Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-12-11 17:43 Eastern Standard Time

I can ssh into the pi. Expanded the storage. Seems to be normal.

But no web action?

Ideas? Location to check logs?

Thanks!

Chrome problem... Works on Firefox. NMAP had standard HTTP replies...

Nope. Still not working -- the Firefox thing was a fluke.

One rev back works fine.

Latest -- no webserver.

Tried a few things... Service on normal startup shows exited. A service restart shows running. Still no webserver on Chrome or Firefox.

?

A service restart can get the server up... Weird.
