Cannot Connect to localhost

[Dx11 1]

Hi. I just restored my Mac from a Time Machine backup 10.14.6. The backup was from a date everything including Emby was working perfectly. I've never had an issue with Emby before. It's been awesome. Now,  I cannot seem to connect to "localhost". I've tried downloading and installing the current Emby Server app on top of the existing version. Did not work. Deleted the Emby Server app and restarted the computer. Then downloaded the Emby Server again and installed. Still getting the error in the photo. I tried with Chrome as well. No luck.

[roaku 792]

Are you able to connect at 127.0.0.1:8096 ?

[Dx11 1]

Unfortunately, no

 

[roaku 792]

Are you sure that the Emby server is running?

[Dx11 1]

According to Activity Monitor it is. The icon is also in my menu bar.

[roaku 792]

Next thing I would try in that situation is to open up a terminal and curl -v http://localhost:8096 to see if it's just Safari giving me a hard time.

curl -v http://localhost:8096

Is this quote exactly what I'd type in Terminal? Not too familiar with it.

[roaku 792]

Yes, that's the command.

Here's some context if you're curious:

[Dx11 1]

Thank you. Here's the result.

[roaku 792]

Hmm, I'd start looking into firewall settings next.

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-firewall-preferences-on-mac-mh11783/mac

Hopefully, an actual Mac user will chime in with some advice soon.

[Dx11 1]

I have Firewall turned off But I'll certainly look at the link just in case there's something there.

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me! Have a good weekend.

[roaku 792]

Another thing you could try in terminal is listing the active ports on your system to make sure 8096 is open:

sudo lsof -P -i TCP -s TCP:LISTEN

[Dx11 1]

Well, I did find this. But no 8096 anywhere in the list of results.

 

Edit: My iPad is named "tray" and has Emby on it. Must have something to do with that (?)

[roaku 792]

What happens when you visit http://localhost:8024 in Safari?

[Dx11 1]

I thought of that!  But...

[roaku 792]

Well, that at least means there's a server there responding to your requests.

What about:

http://localhost:8024/web/index.html

[Happy2Play 8217]

It there a active embyserver.txt or just embyserver-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.txt log?

 

[Dx11 1]

I tried that, too  

Same 404

I'm sorry, where would I find that?

Not proficient on this platform but looking at other logs it look something like this.

Data path: /Users/{name}/.config/emby-server/logs

 

[Dx11 1]

Thank you. I've tied typing that path anywhere I can, including the Console app which contains a lot of logs and system reports, etc. I can't seem to dig anything up.

[Luke 36991]

Hi @Dx11 what is in this folder?

/Users/{name}/.config/emby-server/logs

This is where Emby Server log files go. You may not be able to locate that folder in the finder UI, but you can find it by typing the path into Finder.

Hi Luke

There are several of these text files. The one below is the latest.

Also strange, If I Restart Emby Server from the dropdown in the Mac Menu Bar, the icon stays there. Normally, the icon disappears and reappears as it restarts. If I choose Exit from the dropdown, the icon does disappear form the Menu Bar.

[Happy2Play 8217]

Unfortunately this error suggest you have a corrupt database.

SQLitePCL.pretty.SQLiteException: Corrupt: database disk image is malformed - PRAGMA journal_mode

First I would shutdown Emby and ensure the shm and wal files don't exist, if they do delete them and restart Emby to see if you still get the error in your log.

If they do not then you can try to recover the database per the KB.  

Corrupt Database : Emby

If database can not be recovered you will have to create a new one (last section of the KB).  But note all userdata is stored in that database also, if you use the server configuration backup plugin it will be easy to restore that information.
