jsreport 2.7.2 web cannot be accessed.

jsreport 2.7.2. Configuration was all the defaults using http.

Where can I look for issues?
Is jsreport incorrectly configured?

Using Windows 10 and Visual Studio Code, I followed the steps on https://jsreport.net/on-prem. When trying to access -http://localhost:5488/, I receive "Unable to connect".

The logs do not show any failures/errors/etc. I tried to upload, I do not have the correct permissions.

Here is the jsreport.config.json:

{
  "store": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "blobStorage": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "logger": {
    "console": {
      "transport": "console",
      "level": "debug"
    },
    "file": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "info",
      "filename": "logs/reporter.log"
    },
    "error": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "error",
      "filename": "logs/error.log"
    }
  },
  "allowLocalFilesAccess": true,
  "reportTimeout": 60000,
  "templatingEngines": {
    "strategy": "http-server"
  },
  "extensions": {
    "express": {
      "enabled": false
    },
    "sample-template": {
      "createSamples": true
    },
    "scripts": {
      "strategy": "http-server"
    }
  }
}

You seem to be missing the "httpPort" property.
Can you try to add this and try to connect to http://localhost:5488 ?

"httpPort": 5488

Still does not work.

Latest configuration:

{
  "store": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "httpPort": 5488,
  "blobStorage": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "logger": {
    "console": {
      "transport": "console",
      "level": "debug"
    },
    "file": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "info",
      "filename": "logs/reporter.log"
    },
    "error": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "error",
      "filename": "logs/error.log"
    }
  },
  "allowLocalFilesAccess": true,
  "reportTimeout": 60000,
  "templatingEngines": {
    "strategy": "http-server"
  },
  "extensions": {
    "express": {
      "enabled": false
    },
    "sample-template": {
      "createSamples": true
    },
    "scripts": {
      "strategy": "http-server"
    }
  }
}

Here is the logged file after attempting to access the URL in Firefox:

I reran jsreport configure specifying a different port. Here are my answers for the configuration which is working:

$ jsreport configure
? Do you want to enable web server? Yes
? Which protocol should web server use? http
? Specify the http port for web server: 54321
? Do you want to enable authentication in web server? No
? Do you want to persist jsreport objects and logs on disk? Yes everything saved on disk
? Can jsreport trust the rendering requests and allow access to local files and modules? Yes
? Should jsreport reuse processes to speed up the rendering? Yes
? Specify the general timeout for rendering: 60000
? Would you like that we create some default examples for you? Yes

Comparing the failing configuration to the current, the failing configuration had web server authentication section. How I do not know? Here is the original jsreport configure:

$ jsreport configure
? Do you want to enable web server? Yes
? Which protocol should web server use? http
? Specify the http port for web server: 5488
? Do you want to enable authentication in web server? No
? Do you want to persist jsreport objects and logs on disk? Yes everything saved on disk
? Can jsreport trust the rendering requests and allow access to local files and modules? Yes
? Should jsreport reuse processes to speed up the rendering? Yes
? Specify the general timeout for rendering: 60000
? Would you like that we create some default examples for you? Yes
config saved in: C:\jsreport-testing\jsreport.config.json

DIfference between the working configuration and the original configuration:

$ diff jsreport.config.json original-jsreport.config.json 
2d1
<   "httpPort": 54321,
5a5
>   "httpPort": 5488,
31,36c31
<     "authentication": {
<       "cookieSession": {},
<       "admin": {
<         "username": "admin",
<         "password": "password"
<       },
---
>     "express": {

The original/failing configuration does not have the authentication properties.

This can be considered resolved.

Why do you have the express extension disabled? This isn't something we would generate from jsreport configure.
Try to enable it.

"extensions": {
  "express": {
        "enabled": true
  }
}
