Help, cannot see UI dashboard

[Gaz]

Hi,

I have just installed using 'npm install node-red-contrib-ui' inside my '/home/gb/.node-red/' folder

I start node-reed from terminal and see:
Welcome to Node-RED

I then go to http://192.168.0.65:1880/ui as I do not use localhost.
and see 'Cannot GET /ui/%7B%7B%20main.selectedTab.link%20%7D%7D '

I have also tried 'http://127.0.0.1:1880/ui'


I uninstalled 'UI' and the reinstalled and got :

Any ideas what I have done wrong ?

Hi again,

I have solved the problem I had to click on ' There is 1 widget not in a group. Click here to create the missing groups'

As a beginner I expected it to at least start in some default state, perhaps somehow this could be achieved so that we do not see the cryptic ''Cannot GET /ui/%7B%7B%20main.selectedTab.link%20%7D%7D'

The above meant in a nice way :-)

Just wondered why you have installed node-red-contrib-ui in preference to node-red-dashboard which is being actively developed and supported?

Hi Paul,

Sorry. it was node-red-dashboard.
