Can't make it work on ubuntu server #379

Closed adetogni closed 1 year ago

adetogni commented 1 year ago

Hi, I have ubuntu server running on a VM on a qnap nas. A Trust Tyro webcam is connected in USB and lsusb command can see it

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 145f:02aa Trust Trust Full HD Camera

however, when I try to launch mjpg-streamer I get "bind address already in use"

The ip of the NAS is 192.168.1.201 but the IP of the VM is 192.168.1.155. On 192.168.1.155:5000 there's octoprint server running and it works perfectly

If I go to 192.168.1.155:8080 I get a ` 501: Not Implemented! no www-folder configured

`

(this is by the way strange. Until yesterday, I was getting the mjpg-streamer test page and now I have an error...)

haproxy has this configuration:

`*frontend public bind :80 use_backend webcam if {path_beg /webcam/ } default_backend octoprint

backend webcam http-request replace-path /webcam/(.*) server webcam1 127.0.0.1:8080**`

I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong with the ports...can someone help me?

Something is using the port when you try to launch mjpg streamer.

However this is not the right place for individual support questions, please ask on a forum or Reddit or something.

Did you figure it out? I am also facing similar issue as the port is used by another application. Any idea how to change the port?

Hi @CodeWithCJ in the end I decided to simply buy a logitech webcam and it was working. But ALSO I bought a Raspi and made it work that way. The VM on the NAS was problematic since the webcam had to constantly being reconnected on every restart of the VM plus a series of minor inconveniences on performances. So I decided to simply buy a raspi.
