Hi! I have installed Ignition but it doesn´t start.

Are you sure you’re accessing the site at `http` and not `https`? This is the same error you would get attempting the latter. Make sure it’s [http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) and not [https://localhost:8088](https://localhost:8088). If you have any extensions that force HTTPS everywhere make sure they are disabled. ---

I’m having the same issue. [http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) Results in this error message: **localhost** sent an invalid response. - [Try running Windows Network Diagnostics](javascript:diagnoseErrors()). ERR\_SSL\_PROTOCOL\_ERROR Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? Thanks ---

I got the same issue on two different install using localhost today. Got around it by using the computers IP instead of localhost. During an fresh install the installer forwards me to localost:8088, and it fails. One of the was an older install. Maybe Google has made some changes in Chrome? ---

had this same problem... delete everything in the web address to the left of localhost, then hit enter, and it works.
