How do I log in when not connected to web

[mschwarz]

Hi all, it's been some time since I've been on the board, way too many things taking up my time other then HS.

Recently, I upgraded my main pc to a Mac Pro and replaced the Linksys router with a Airport Extreme (Apple also). Since then I have had trouble getting into homeseer since my shortcut was a static IP (192.168.1.101:85).

Yesterday I moved the HS box to my bedroom so I can use it on the HDTV and currently I don't have it hooked to the network (waiting on a wireless N card I ordered). The box is running and HS is doing it's thing as normal, BUT, I can't get to any of the screens locally (getting "Page cannot be displayed) even if I use the pull downs from the log file.

What is the proper IP to access the HS screens locally?

Thank you,
~Mark

What version of HomeSeer are you running? What port is HomeSeer running on? If it's the default port of 80 then http://localhost should work.

It was set up for port 85 in his earlier post, so it would be:

localhost:85

However, Internet Exploder won't accept a port designation without http in front of it, so it has to be:

http://localhost:85

I think I tried that yesterday, but I am going to try it again after work. It's been some time since I tinkered at all in HS and my memory isn't what it used to be. Isn't there a config file someplace that will allow me to change some of the settings (such as port) that can be edited in something like notepad?

BTW, I am using HS 2.X

Yes, it's named settings.ini and it's in the config directory.

Thanks Rupp & Tink, hopefully I can get back into HS tonight to make the changes I need to. It'll look awesome on a 26" HDTV!

Based on the above, how do I access locally?

Thanks,

I don't think you you want to bind your server to a given address.

gServerAddressBind=192.168.1.102

Change it to:

gServerAddressBind=0.0.0.0

Then http://localhost:85/conf should prompt you for login info and get you in.

-or-

https://localhost/conf should also work if you had it setup for https before.

BINGO! huggy_d1 you got it right on!!! I'm in and pleased as cheese!

Thank you,

Another problem with this.

OK, I got HS working during this thread a couple weeks ago. I HS machine is based in my bedroom and I want to access it from other pc's in the house. I've tried:

http://localhost:8080 (that's the port it's on now)
or
http://192.168.1.102:8080 (that's the static IP I assigned to the machine)

Why do I get "page cannot be displayed" error?

Thanks

Not 100% sure but you don't seem to be calling a page. You might not have setup anything as the home page. Something like http://192.168.1.102:8080/stat
might work

[jackpod]

any reason you can't just use port 80? then http://192.169.0.2 should get you in. You can't use localhost from a different machine, localhost means the local machine

[mschwarz]

Nightstalker had it! When I clicked on his link: http://192.168.1.102:8080/stat it worked! Thanks NS.
