Octoprint server hangs on startup - Debian Jesse

What is the problem?
Hi, I'm following the instruction on this website to install OctoPrint server on my desktop computer, which is permanently attached to my printer (Creality Ender 3) via USB. Everything goes well until the point when I try to start the server:
/home/leeko/venv/bin/octoprint serve

The command line looks like it wants to start, but hangs up at this point:

After that point, I'm not sure what to do next.

What did you already try to solve it?
I'm not sure what the next step should be.

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)

OctoPrint version is: 1.3.10
Printer: Ender 3, Creality

Thanks in advance,

Leeko

Never mind! I found the solution here - I had the same brainfart, and wasn't using :5000 after the IP to access it. It was already running.

Thanks anyway!
