First time user on a pi3. No homepage

Newb here.

I installed openhab using

sudo apt-get install screen mc vim git htop

when I go
http://192.168.1.238:8080

it does not connect (impossible to connect error)

How to troubleshoot

p.s.I do have Home Assistant with duckdns on it, not sure if that is a problem

yes I know I had to install it first. Now I did.

But have this error

Did you check whether you have all the prerequisites: http://docs.openhab.org/installation/index.html#prerequisites

You can also check the syslog file (in /var/lib) and check for error messages.

I installed ZULU, now

in the var/lib there is no syslog file …?

Now

So seems all good.

But in browser

HTTP ERROR: 404

Sorry /var/log

Just some other thought…I was trying once to put both systems on one
system too and was not unable to resolve some conflicts that arouse. Was
trying to remember the details, but …nothing…it may have and to do
with port conflicts but I really don’t remember anymore, except that I gave
up and took two separate systems.
