Error while checking authentication #5

Closed hazymat closed 3 years ago

hazymat commented 3 years ago

I just installed Applestrudel, after uninstalling the slightly working but mostly broken alexa-remote2. When I set up the Alexa Account Node, then visit the address http://my-ip:3456 to authenticate, the page is not served up. The node shows error "Error while checking authentication". Any ideas why this may be?

set up ip address in config, if you have localhost then it is not working

hazymat commented 3 years ago

Yes I have done that... the page just isn't served up :/

Can you check if the node really fires up a webserver and listens on the port? If that's working then I'd guess the problem is some blocking firewall.

hazymat commented 3 years ago

I have just now recreated the account and the webserver does now show. I can authenticate and it says "Amazon Alexa Cookie successfully retrieved. You can close the browser."

However after authenticating, the node says "Error: error while checking authentication"

Check the cookie file whether it really contains the cookie. Node-Red needs write access to this file. Or you can try to paste it manually to the file.

I will close this issue as there is no more activity.
