Hi Folks: I am new with Ignition. I downloaded and install the Standard Edition, ran for two hours, and I know how to reset the trial timer. However, at the second day, I had hard time to figure out how to start the Ignition standard edition again.  
I tried to type in [https://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080), and got this message " Hmmm… can't reach this page, localhost refused to connect.".

Could some one show me how I can restart Ignition Standard Edition after I restart my computer?

Thanks!

Generally, you will go find Ignition in the background services, and start it there. And, perhaps, set it to autostart.

First, Thanks for your comment.  
And,  
I got it. I need to type in [http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088).  
It is http instead of http(s).  
And the port shall be 8088 instead of 8080.
