[MMM-Remote-Control] Can not access remote control module

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy sorry, unclear on error you are seeing

[Mr.Gysy]

changed something, now webpage shows: my connection has been rejected?

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy so, steps to debug

from another system can u access the mirror itself
http://ip:port
if no, then either firewall, or mirror config prevents.
address: or whitelist or both

if address is localhost, then ONLY apps on the SAME PHYSICAL system can access
if address is 0.0.0.0, then apps can access from any network connection
if address is something else, some specific ip, then apps can only access server thru the hardware adapter that provdes that address. think if u had two network cards, and wanted to restrict access to only one of those cards…

now, once you’ve got that
we go to whitelist
now you can constrain access to specific systems on that netwokr, or groups of systems by address range (or applied mask)

so, to start I’d do address: “0.0.0.0” and whitelist :[],
means any system from any network

can u access the mirror app

now can u access the remotecontrol app insde the mirror?

[Mr.Gysy]

adress is set on 0.0.0.0
and whitelist []

on pi itself same from browser : 192.168.178.40 rejected the connection

@Mr-Gysy said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Can not access remote control module:

192.168.178.40

need the port too

http://192.168.178.40:8080 (thats the default port)

[Mr.Gysy]

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy remove after the port. Let’s make sure default works

[Mr.Gysy]

same :/

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy ok. Check the address of the pi

sudo ifconfig

[Mr.Gysy]

sudo ipconfig

sudo: ipconfig: Command not found

thats not good :/

[Mr.Gysy]

ifconfig worked

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy not ip, if

sudo ifconfig

[Mr.Gysy]

dont work

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy please read and copy/paste

sudo ifconfig

U are typing iPconfig

Not p

[Mr.Gysy]

thats the screen above :)

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy no screen above shows 2 times the command
ipconfig

I need you to use

ifconfig

Windows system uses ipconfig
Linux does not

[Mr.Gysy]

@Mr-Gysy said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Can not access remote control module:

ifconfig worked

that is “ifconfig”

[sdetweil]

@Mr-Gysy ok. U have two interfaces.

What is address: in config.js?

[Mr.Gysy]

you mean this? 0.0.0.0 or?

[OldSunGuy]

@Mr-Gysy
config.js has a typo

adresss: “0.0.0.0”,  

should be.

address: “0.0.0.0”,
