First Run - Invalid request

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

I just installed openHAB2 for the first time.
Windows 10 64bit on my dedicated home media server. 192.168.1.11
The server has no monitor, keyboard nor mouse, i access it through Windows RDP on another machine.

I installed java and set the environmental variable on the server.

I got a java error “server-mode unavailable” / install java development kit.
followed other instructions in the ISSUES section of github.
uninstalled all java, only installed java dev kit 32bit.
made sure environmental variable pointed to it.

ran openHAB2 again.
no error. looks like it is running.

open chrome (tried edge too)
localhost:8080 - invalid request - (tried from server localmachine)
192.168.1.11:8080 - invalid request - (tried from server and other pcs on network)

I cannot proceed with the installation.

re-run with debugging…
says Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
??

tried localhost:5005
the page did not load
“This page isn’t working/192.168.1.11 didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE” but it triggered a response in the openhab terminal window.
Debugger failed to attach: handshake failed - received >GET / HTTP/1.1< - expected >JDWP-Handshake

localhost:8080 still returns “invalid request”, but does not trigger a response in the openhab terminal window…

here is links to the logs. they are too big to copy paste

Looks like the address is already in use, is there another process currently running on port 8080 or 8443? Use netstat -ano to find out.

If you need to keep using that process, you can change the default openHAB port by setting the OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT and OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT environment variables.

I have a feeling that 8080 is in use. it seems really familiar.
using netstat without openhab running it shows an active connection listening on 0.0.0.0:8080 PID 11208.
task manager shows no running process or service with PID 11208
but like I said. it sounds familiar.

so how do i change the OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT and OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT environment variables?

utorrent webui was on port 8080.
changed utorrent webui to port 8081

fixed!!
