How To Fix 127.0.0.1:7860 Site Not Available Issue?

Encountering the “127.0.0.1:7860” issue can be frustrating, especially when setting up tools like Automatic1111 for Stable Diffusion.

This article provides clear steps to resolve this problem effectively.

Understanding 127.0.0.1:7860

The address “127.0.0.1:7860” refers to a local server that connects your browser to a program on your computer.

This server, launched through specific scripts or commands, enables interaction with tools like Stable Diffusion.

However, if the URL displays an error, the local server might not be running correctly.

Fixing the Error Step-by-Step

Step 1: Use the Correct Launch Script

• Ensure you run the webui-user.bat file to start a Stable Diffusion session.

 

• Keep the Command Prompt (CMD) window open after running the file active. Closing this window stops the server, causing the error.

 

• To simplify access, create a desktop shortcut for the webui-user.bat file. This allows easy execution whenever needed.

Step 2: Verify Python Installation

• Stable Diffusion often requires Python 3.10 or higher. Ensure you have the correct version installed on your computer.

 

• If you have multiple Python versions, conflicts may arise. Double-check that the version specified during installation matches the program’s requirements.

Setting Up Remote Deployment

Challenge with Text-Generation WebUI

Issues for users deploying text-generation WebUI remotely might stem from incorrect configurations or blocked files. Here’s how to address these:

1. Run the Correct Script
   • Execute python server.py in the environment where the application is installed.
   • Ensure the terminal output shows a URL like http://127.0.0.1:7861. If this URL is unavailable, proceed to the next steps.
2. Modify Server Settings
   • Open the server.py file.
   • Locate the launch function and adjust the parameters:
     launch(share=True, server_name=’0.0.0.0′, server_port=7860)
3. Check Firewall and Antivirus Restrictions
   • Some programs block required binaries, causing the server to fail.
   • Allow the file located in your environment’s path, such as:
     /home/mojo/miniforge3/envs/textgen/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gradio/frpc_linux_aarch64_v0.2

Configuring a Proxy with Nginx

If deploying the server using Nginx, follow these steps:

1. Edit Nginx Configuration
   • Open the default configuration file:
     sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Update the file with the following:
server {

    listen 80;

    server_name YOUR_SERVER_IP;

    location / {

        proxy_pass http://localhost:7860;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    }

• }

2. Test Configuration
   • Check the Nginx configuration for syntax errors:
     nginx -t
   • If successful, restart Nginx to apply changes.
3. Access via External IP
   • Use your server’s public IP address instead of “127.0.0.1” to connect. If you still see an error, ensure the proxy setup is correct and accessible.

Resolving Connection Refusals

If the connection to 127.0.0.1:7860 is refused, try the following:

• Verify the server is running by checking the CMD or terminal output for errors.

 

• Ensure no other programs are using port 7860.

 

• Confirm that firewall rules allow local connections to this port.

Checklist for Troubleshooting

Possible Issue	Solution
Server script not executed	Run webui-user.bat or server.py.
CMD window closed prematurely	Keep it open during the session.
Firewall blocking connection	Add exceptions for the application.
Python version mismatch	Use Python 3.10 or the required version.

Final Thoughts
