LMS does not respond on localhost:9000

[pierreh]

Hello everybody,
I am using LMS 7.7.2 - r33893 on a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 13.0.1 for Ubuntu.
Opening the LMS interface does not work any longer when the request is sent to localhost:9000. Firefox displays: "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading".
It does not work either when using the address 127.0.0.1:9000.
The file /etc/hosts contains the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
I tried with an other browser (Chromium), the connection fails as well.
Any advice about what might be wrong ?

Sorry to ask the obvious, but first, are you sure that LMS is running? Second, what happens if you use the actual IP address of the laptop instead of the loopback address?

wrong thread!

Do you have any third party plugins installed ?

Got lots of these in the server log, not sure if it's related:

[12-07-16 20:13:48.4832] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (147) Error: Select task failed calling Slim::Networking::Async::HTTP::_http_read_body: DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database disk image is malformed at /<C:\PROGRA~1\SQUEEZ~1\server\SqueezeSvr.exe>Slim/Utils/DbCache.pm line 80.
; fh=Slim::Networking::Async::Socket::HTTP=GLOB(0xa4 3b634)

Sounds like the <Cache>/cache.db* files has become corrupt.
I would shutdown LMS and delete the <Cache Folder>/cache.db and <Cache Folder>/cache.db-shm and <Cache Folder>/cache.db-wal and then startup LMS and see if that solves the problem.

It could be other of the DB files in the <Cache Folder> also, but if you are using TrackStat and don't have a backup, I would avoid deleting the actual database files <Cache Folder>/persist.* and <Cache Folder>/library.* as deleting them means that you will loose TrackStat data.

I've got corrupt database files once before and it happened when I killed LMS abruptly instead of letting it shutdown normally.

Thanks for your help.
I can check it is running using ps.
If I use the actual IP address of the laptop it works. But I don't understand why I should use this address now since the loopback address had been working fine until a few days ago.

No third party plugin used on server side. I only have installed Triode's EDO on the Touch.

Do you have any firewall or antivirus software installed that could cause issues ?
Is it possible to see in the Task Manager if the LMS process is using a lot of CPU ?

Thanks for your help Erland.
I have no firewall or antivirus installed on this machine.
Both ps and top show that squeezeboxserver is using 0% CPU.

I'm not saying that you should use the actual IP address (although, why not?). I only suggested it to try to figure out where the problem is. From your answer it would appear to be something wrong in your computer's network configuration, but I'm afraid I have no idea exactly what the problem would be. Obviously something changed from how it used to be.
