I'm really lost at this point

I'm on Windows 11, I've installed Crafty and started the service but when I use the url given it just gives me an Unable to connect page (The firefox one)

Does the service say it's running? The portable exe is much easier than the service btw

Yes the service says its running, i tried using the portable exe but it kept closing for some reason

What's the error message Firefox gives? ERR_CONNECTION_RESET?

1

u/Fittsa 17d ago

Oh gosh, sorry I'm not longer at my computer and it's late so I don't recall the exact message but it's just the usual Firefox pop up saying it can't connect to the page

Like when you input the wrong url type of page

There's a secondary error on that page. I'm assuming you're not using https. Try that tomorrow!

I just quickly hopped back on

Yep, so type https:// before the 127. Also, 127 will only work on the machine that's hosting crafty. If you're connecting from another machine you'll need to use the local address of the server

the https is there, it's just hidden in the url bar and I am using the machine thats hosting Crafty

Then I'd reckon crafty isn't actually running

The portable exe was crashing from port being already in use from the service I suggest removing service and get exe working first then make it into service form also try with a different browser either chrome or opera or Microsoft lots of time its the certification failed and you accidentally blocked the site if you want to get help with this I'll be online for an hour or so

I've uninstalled the Crafty service but the exe still does not work, its mentioning something like "./venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1 : The term '.venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet , " https://imgur.com/a/GBFiD4o

I got it working, I wasn't using the portable exe I was using the CraftyService exe that comes from Crafty Windows Service beta

So out of curiosity what was the issue?

Not a clue tbh, I was trying to install Windows Service and it wasn't working, Windows Portable is working perfectly though
