Are there any error messages in /var/log/openhab/openhab.log ?
How to check the log ?
did you try to connect using the IP local address ?
hmm not sure what you mean by that … In browser im typing “openhab ip:8080”
sorry for the poor skills in linux / command lines… Im new in windows used apple since 1991 so used to graphic interface …
Btw same issue if i try running openhab on my synology… !no web interface …therefor i suspect the issue is java…
Already the answer of the command “netstat -tulpn | grep java” showed that the java process is not running. Thus the service is not listening on port 8080.
What does

I was going to say that this should have all been in the installation guide but looking at the Download page, when doing the Linux package route, it does look like it does miss these steps which are well known to Linux guys, but less so to newcomers. Maybe some of the admins could add these steps…
this step ‘normally’ is being executed during the installation of openhab service.
The commands are included in the openhabian-config installation steps and executed automatically.
So the question would be have there been any error messages shown during the installation?
