Localhost:8080 on Windows 7 doesn't work

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

Hello,
I have just installed openHab on my Windows 7 computer.
When i try to open openHab dashboard, chrome says that localhost:8080 refused to connect.
Does someone have an idea how to resolve this problem? Is there any workaround ie different options to connect to OpenHab?

Thank you!

Anton

i click on openhab dashboard and it redirects me to a chrome page that says

This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Did you mean http://localhost-8080.com/?
Search Google for localhost 8080
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

You have to run the START.bat file in the OpenHab directory…it will pop open a black window which must remain open to use OH. Once it’s open and you see something like the following window you can then launch a browser and try and connect to the localhost address:

Hi @Antonio

Welcome too OpenHAB have a look at the documentation mainly prerequisites and installation on windows

https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/windows.html#prerequisites

Make sure you have installed java and met the prerequisites first then run the start.bat as admin and then go too localhost:8080 or replace local host with your ip address of the machine running OH

eg 192.168.0.15:8080
