I have connected my Modbus gateway but when i try to add a new tag the OPC server option does not appear in the drop down. How can i make this happen.
Have you disabled or deleted Ignition's loopback connection to itself?
While Ignition is an OPC server hosting drivers like the one you show, the rest of Ignition (mostly) talks to the OPC server through Ignition's default OPC client connection to itself.
Not that i know of. Where would i find that ?
Im new to using Ignition.
Go to Config -> OPC -> OPC Connections. Check that the Ignition OPC UA Server connection isn't disabled / deleted. If you need to recreate it, use the information here:

Thanks Kurt. I had to reinstall Ignition in the end. Once i did that everything worked.
Hello!! Hope you are okay,I have a simmilar issue like this, we have a third party OPC server connection working properly but the ignition default opc server doesn´t exist. I tried to recreate it following the guide you sent but I got an error in the step 7 of the guide and was redirected to home page
That usually means whoever set up that connections changed the pre-installed connection (that is the loopback the internal server) instead of creating a new connection.
You probably need to share your wrapper log to see what is happening to the attempted re-creation of the loopback connection.
(Or reinstall to start from scratch. If you do, remember to make a new connection for the external server.)
