New install - cannot connect to octoprint

What is the problem?

new 64 Gb card with latest build octopi and octoprint installed using Raspberry Pi Imager

pi powers up nicely, takes a few seconds - but that's ok
I can ping it (192.168.1.37)
I can ssh to it
I cannot connect to the server
http://192.168.1.37 returns

This site can’t be reached

http://192.168.1.37/ is unreachable.

ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

What did you already try to solve it?

I ran grep to see if the server is running:
pi@octopi42:~ $ ps -ef | grep octo
avahi 333 1 0 17:28 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [octopi42.local]
pi 357 1 2 17:28 ? 00:00:41 /home/pi/oprint/bin/python /home/pi/oprint/bin/octoprint serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=5000
pi 1910 1237 0 17:57 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto octo

I ran systeminfo manually:
pi@octopi42:~ $ ~/oprint/bin/octoprint systeminfo .

Writing systeminfo bundle to /home/pi/octoprint-systeminfo-20250501174419.zip...

Done!

Have you tried running in safe mode?

no can't get that far, haven't configured octoprint yet

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

no

Have you tried

thanks for the tip
I'll use the formatter next time - rookie mistake!

as I mentioned above - it's all mysteriously working now!?!
cheers

as it's all working now, I'll mark this as closed
thanks for listening!
