Posted from e-mail message:
We currently have another software that uses port 8080. I am able to connect to Kolibri on the server it was downloaded to using 127.0.0.1:8080, however connection from other local PC’s to the server ip (10.128.0.3:8080) is not working. Is there a way to change the port Kolibri uses? Is the other software being on the port the issue or am I overlooking something?
Hey Laura,
Here is a guide for how to run Kolibri using a different port in Kolibri user guide.
It is probably worth starting a couple of sections above that because the user will need to create an options.ini file first.
I did as instructed and was able to change the port but I am still unable to connect to Kolibri from any PC other than the server we have downloaded it. For reference, the IP it is installed under is 10.128.0.3; and using this followed by 8080 results in the web page timing out. Is there some kind of log file that may help direct where the problem is? Everything works great when accessed on the ip it is installed to, using 127.0.0.1; not sure what is causing the disconnect between it working on other PC’s as we checked the firewall and nothing strange is going on there.
Hi @jpeluso,
I’m sorry that I’m a bit confused here. You mentioned that you changed the port according to the documentation.
and using this followed by 8080 results in the web page timing out.
Do you mean that you tried to access the kolibri from other PCs through 10.128.0.3:<new_port>?
You can also check out the documentation on how to troubleshoot the network issues.
The kolibri log files can be found in ~/.kolibri if you are running on Unix systems, or C:\Users\<username>\.kolibri if you are on Windows. More details on how to locate the Kolibri log files.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much!

Hi - did you try steps 2 and 3 of the network troubleshooting steps linked above?
Yes, I can ping the ip (10.128.0.3) and when I access Kolibri through the install machine IP on the install machine, it loads fine (i.e. using 10.128.0.3:8080 on the PC running Kolibri). Any ideas on what could be causing it to time out on external network PC’s?
Can you describe your network setup a bit? Routers, switches, wifi, DHCP, etc?
Just to add, running “kolibri start --debug -foreground” on C:\Python34\Scripts results in:
<-33mWarning Ignoring unkown section in options file …\options.ini under top level: section.<-[0m
<-31mERROR Port 1738 is occupied
Please check that you do not have other processes running on this port and try again’
<-0m
I’ve tried ports 8080, 7070, 1738; all of which the cmd line says are occupied but I’m 99% certain they are not.
Hi @jpeluso,
Before you ran the command kolibri start --debug -foreground, did you stop the kolibri instance by running kolibri stop? My guess is that the kolibri instance was still running when you were trying to start kolibri with the command in the foreground.
I did not run that in the command line but I did end the processes in the task manager. I just reinstalled the software on a whim but still experiencing issues. The Kolibri “server is starting” message continues to appear and reappear. I made a new options.ini but that is not resolving the issue either. With regard to that however, what should I have for keys section. In the documentation it says to put
[section]
key1 = a
key2 = b
and that the keys may vary. Also, there are two processes in task manager called Kolibri, should this be the case?
Hi @jpeluso,
Could you send us the log file in the directory C:\Users\<your_username>\.kolibri\kolibri.log so we can see what may have been wrong? Thank you!
How does the server connect to the network? Does it connect through a cable or WiFi?
In this post, @jredrejo mentioned that the server must connect the network through a cable.
Also, what is the Kolibri version you are running?
Thank you so much!
Hi @jpeluso
can you confirm me that I understand from the above sentence that:
a) kolibri runs locally on port 8080 without any problem
b) you can’t access to it from other computers using the server ip
c) you have not a network firewall
If that’s correct, can you please locate and attach the log files?
Also, in another message I see you mention that windows always tell you the port is occupied . That usually means you are running the application under an user that has not permissions to open ports (it could be also that the ports are actually open, you can check it executing in a cmd this command netstat -an). You could try to start kolibri as an administrator in your machine or at least ensure your user has enough permissions.

Hi, I have same issue than user jpeluso. I was able to install Kolibri in a Windows PC as server, connect it to a Wifi LAN and tried to access it from a client PC in the same LAN, but received message “server stopped responding”. I’m using administrator credentials in server PC and checked that the port 8080 is free. Any hint? Thanks in advance.
As far as I know this is not an error from Kolibri. It could be your browser, or some other software you have in the middle.
To help debugging it:
Hope this helps.

Hi Jose, thanks for your advise. Windows firewall was the culprit, I disabled it and it worked all fine.
Best wishes,

Hi @dco61, thank you for reporting this issue, we are in the process of making those 404 pages more usable.
You are probably looking for this link, let us know if it works for you:

Hello Radina,
Thanks for the fast reply… Yes, this link is working.
I discovered Kolibri a couple of days ago and it fits some of the needs I have for projects in Haiti and some african countries (Camerou, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Rwanda). I am quite impressed so far…
When trying to download some content, it looks like the transfer failed for unknown reasons. The transfer starts, goes on for a long while, and suddenly stops. An exclamation mark (!) shows up on the left side of the package name… and nothing else. I have a good Internet connection, a lot of disk space, so I wonder why I cannot complete the download. Is there a way to download a ZIP file containing the content packages, which could be installed locallly?
Daniel
