I can't open http://localhost:8080 in my browser

Hi @user1

This type of connection error can come up for many reasons, including firewall settings on your computer and/or browser, but before investigating more you might just need to stop the server and restart it. Example how-to:

@gbbio

• Stop galaxy
• run the command sudo lsof -i tcp:8080
• Kill the PID’s of galaxy sudo kill 23001 (The PID of yourself, 23001 is an example)
• start galaxy again
• test if it solved your problem

Galaxy resources

• Quick start: Get Galaxy - Galaxy Community Hub
• Tutorials: Galaxy Training!
• Docs: Galaxy Documentation — Galaxy Project 23.1.1.dev0 documentation

If you need more help, please explain a bit more about your server. Include anything relevant: Version of Galaxy? Where sourced? Default configuration or ? Is this the first time starting it up?

Let’s start there, thanks!
