Cannot connect to Pi via web browser

[PipDenno]

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

I can connect to my raspberry pi via SSH on my mac but.. can't connect via a browser i.e. '192.168.0.15:8080' or '8081'.

How do I find how to connect as I am trying to access the index.html file on my pi to view pi camera pictures. I managed to find my ip address (i am on sky wifi) via ifconfig which is how I connected via SSH.

Any help is appreciated. Please be gentle as I am a newbie to the pi and linux stuff.

Thanks.

Have a look whether there's any listener on those two ports.

netstat -tln
sudo lsof -i TCP:8080
sudo lsof -i TCP:8081

I tried the command sudo lsif -i TCP:8080 but get the message command not found?

The first command gave the following details:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

So you've got sshd running. But you don't have a webserver of any description running on your RPi.

sudo apt-get install lsof # would install one of my favourite diagnostic tools.

1. sudo apt-get install apache2 # gets Apache
2. sudo apt-get install lightttpd # gets Lighthttpd
3. sudo apt-get install nginx # gets NGinX

Pick 1, 2 or 3.

Are you using motion by any chance to create the pictures? I'm asking because motion uses the ports 8080 and 8081 you mention.
Its built-in web server does not serve content over the network by default, you have to enable that in its configuration file - /etc/motion/motion.conf

The OP's netstat post shows nothing running other than sshd.

You're right, of course. That should teach me not to post before my first coffe...

Thanks guys.

I installed the Apache2 and can now access via the web browser as well as SSH.

Much appreciated.

Thanks.
