Hello, please help me I'm stuck

I am trying to install qbittorrent-nox on ubuntu 16.04

I installed it changing the user to my own following [url=http://"https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Setting-up-qBittorrent-on-Ubuntu-server-as-daemon-with-Web-interface-%2815.04-and-newer%29"]THIS[/url] Guide.

After running

Code: Select all

qbittorrent-nox

and getting the disclaimer and pressing "y" and "enter" I get an unexpected unfinished output

Code: Select all

*****@ubuntu*****:~$ qbittorrent-nox

******** Information ********
To control qBittorrent, access the Web UI at http://localhost:8080
The Web UI administrator user name is: admin
The Web UI administrator password is still the default one: adminadmin
This is a security risk, please consider changing your password from program preferences.

I get this only and a blinking curser flashing.

When I try to go to http://localhost:8080 I get

Code: Select all

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

I thought it may be an issue with a firewall on my router so I disabled it and it is still the same. I have tried reinstalling ubuntu server and following the guide to the letter including the qbtuser and still the same.

I tried opening a new terminal window and checking the logs at

Code: Select all

sudo journalctl -u qbittorrent.service

And I get this

Code: Select all

-- No entries --

I really don't know what I have done wrong

EDIT

BTW the capatcha here is diabolical

Thanks in advance

Did you install qBT-nox on the machine that you're using the browser from? If not, instead using "localhost" use the the IP address of the machine you used to install it on.
Example: Installed qBT-nox on 192.168.1.15. So on my regular computer I would use 192.168.1.15:8080.

You might also need to change the port from 8080 to something else, if another program is using it. Example: qbittorrent-nox --webui-port=8181

Lol I want to kiss you right now.

As easy as that!

No I wasn't using the browser from the machine I installed from.

Any reason why I wouldn't get the full output in the terminal?

Thanks so much
