Can not connect to local blynk server

Dear all,

I am trying to setup a local blynk server. Although the installation went fine (From the Ubuntu terminal I got the message “Blynk Server successfully started”), I can not connect to it with the App (I selected the correct IO and port). Furthermore, I can not connect to the Administration Panel UI.

I am working with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I unfortunately am no coding expert.

The LOG file says:

I hope you can help me… I am looking forward to working with Blynk :slight_smile:

Ok… I solved the problem by moving to a Windows PC and watch this excellent video…

I realized there were a huge number of steps I missed and that are not detailed in the “DOCS” area.

What steps did you miss? Maybe we can work it out and have the documentation updated :slight_smile:
