What is the problem?
I flashed my sd card to install Octoprint 1.11.2.
It ran on my rasberry (Model B+ v1.2, I guess raspebby model 1) since months in verison 1.7.x
I wanted to make a full upgrade
On the raspberry, if I log with "pi' , i am having access
The ip adress is responding to a ping
http://octopi.local in my browser is not working
but http://192.68.0.60 (ip adress of octopi.local) is showing The OctoPrint server is currently not running.
What did you already try to solve it?
I tried whats proposed in the web page:
Verify that the process is running: ps -ef | grep -i octoprint | grep -i python
should show a python process: => nothing happend
Take a look into ~/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log
: the folder "logs" doesn't exist
I tried this commandpi @octopi:~ $ netstat -lp | grep http
tcp6 0 0 [::]:https [::]:* LISTEN -
tcp6 0 0 [::]:http [::]:* LISTEN -
Have you tried running in safe mode?
No beacuse I don't undestand how to do it
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

I tried "octoprint systeminfo." in the command line of "pi" session, but I get "command not found"
I checked the octoprint service staus: it is not running!:
pi@octopi:~ sudo service octoprint status

Additional information about your setup
Octoprint version 1.11.2
OctoPi version 1.1.0
Update. in the mean time, I asked Chatgpt...
The problem here most likely comes from the fact that your Raspberry Pi 1 is old (ARMv6 processor, low RAM), and the current version of OctoPi/OctoPrint 1.11.2 is no longer officially compatible with this architecture.
Here’s what you need to know:
Since OctoPrint 1.9 or so, Python 3.8+ is required.
However, on a Raspberry Pi 1 (ARMv6), recent OctoPi images no longer provide a compatible build, and recent Raspbian versions don’t support a new enough Python without hacks.
Official OctoPi images are now built for ARMv7 and ARMv8 (Pi 2 and above).
In short:
Recent OctoPi will no longer run natively on a Pi 1 → you have to either:
- Stick with an older version (e.g. OctoPi based on Raspbian Jessie or Stretch, with OctoPrint ≤ 1.7.x).
- Compile OctoPrint yourself on Raspbian Lite (it can run, but very slowly).
- Upgrade to a Pi 3, 4, or Zero 2 W to enjoy the latest versions without headaches.
If you absolutely want to keep your Pi 1:
- Flash an old OctoPi image compatible with Pi 1: for example, OctoPi 0.17.0 (with OctoPrint 1.3.12) or OctoPi 0.18.0 (OctoPrint 1.5.3).
- Then update OctoPrint manually up to the latest version that still works with Python 3.7 (1.7.x).
If you want, I can give you the direct link to download the latest OctoPi image compatible with Raspberry Pi 1 and the procedure to block updates before they break anything.
Thereofore I downloaded version 1.5.3 and now my Octoprint server is back to live
