AlexaPi

[romain]

Not completly sure about this but the http server : 5055 might just be the port AlexaPi using to comunicate with the MagicMirror module MMM-AlexaPi . I do have the same message and it doesn’t prevent AlexaPi to work

Guys i get a little succes.
I got the token from amazon, i set the sound and when i start alexa service she is active but i got rly nasty problem with this port 5055. I have no idea what to do next

[romain]

@davidrq7 This mean you have already an instance of alexaPi running. reboot or kill the already running alexapi

[davidrq7]

Y, but even when i stop alexa service and start it again it looks all the same. Any sugestions? :) im getting closer to the end ^^

@johnnyboy i’ll check this tomorrow by using sudo netstat -lnptu to check which application is blocking 5055 or 5050 port

i had errors installing the current version 1.5, so I reverted back to v1.4 which is much more stable. this is the version that I am currently running flawlessly.

cd /opt/AlexaPi
sudo git checkout v1.4

I hope this helps

This is what i got when i used netstat. Dont know what should i do next?

Edit: Allright i found something. sudo nano /etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml at bottom is a line with numer 5055 so i change it for 5050. Diging more …;)

Found another intresting thing at forum.
“I’m expecting there’s a significance in which user is starting AlexaPi.
The service is started by user alexapi, but when you start it from the terminal, with “sudo”, you’re starting it as root.”
How can i use it? In super newbie …

@davidrq7 Wait, are you still on your connexion issue ? Or it’s a sound issue ? Because the user might be an issue for the sound, but it’s unlickly to be an issue for the connexion

[davidrq7]

@romain i think i wilk leave this version. Can You tell me how to install AlexaPi 1.4 plz ?

[romain]

@davidrq7 Sure, you go to your AlexPi folder
cd /opt/AlexaPi/
Then you use the command git checkout v1.4
(you could have write git checkout then press the tab key once or two time so it show you all available version. This work for most github repository)
