I haven't touched it since they hijacked port 80 so you cannot use it
locally.
Gene, this is NOT true. Chrome does not "hijack port 80". You can
go to http://localhost:80/ to talk to a local web server *just fine*
in Chrome.
This is another one of your imaginary problems, which has already been
disproved, but to which you still cling. You seem to have many of these.
I'm not going to spend the time to dig up the old thread in which you
first espoused this idea, and in which I showed you that it's untrue.
That would be a waste of my time.
I take it you are speaking from debian
I can't make it work here and can supply screenshots if the server will
pass them. Armbian uses the debian-arm repos for everything but the
iso's. and snaps. First noticed on armbian installs here a few months
ago. However it appears I have nuked it from all the armbian machines
live ATM. And from this one too. So I can't even supply the screenshots.
Some versions of klipper, the 3d printer driver, used port 80 to display
klippers web page, as did octoprint and friends but late versions of
klipper now serve their web page on port 10088 to get around this
problem. Since chromium is the default browser on armbian, I've spent
several hours scattered over 2 weeks to make it work, failed on every
machine that had it. Every time it was ran and asked for file:// or
http:// localhost:80 you wind up looking at google seatch failure screen
saying there is no such thing as localhost. True even if I gave it the
name or ipv4 address of any machine on my network as long as it was
ending in :80 or left blank. https to Port 8080 works but none of my
printers use https. It might work, if my cable supplied modem was
provisioned for ipv6. Since I'm 150 miles so of the nearest ipv6 address
here I don't expect it to work anytime soon. You might have an old copy
that still works, but I'm not making it up. I do know what I've seen.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
