OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible
I used to be able to run Octoprint off of the same pi and sd card. I just reflashed the sd with a new version of pi and installed Octoprint onto it. Now it doesn’t work.
You say you have reflashed it 3 times but we don't know what image you used.
Neither one of you has given us enough information for us to provide a useful response.
There is no such thing as too much information. There is a template when you start a new get help topic and filling out that template with as much information as possible is what allows us to be helpful. Any blue text is a link with additional instructions.
I debated whether to start a new thread with this as I’ve seen a few with the same situation. I have yet to see more than 1 or 2 responses to each of those threads so I jumped into this one. Apologies for not filling out the form in my responses.
So no go with safe mode shenanigans or a system info bundle or logs for that matter since there’s no web interface… just that it’s not running.
Anyway, yes it is a Pi 1 Model B. I’m using the raspberry pi imager flashing octopi 1.11.2 onto my SD card.
Hello, I'm facing a very similar issue with OctoPi, but on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
After flashing the latest "stable" version of OctoPi available on RPi Imager (OctoPi 1.1.0 with OctoPrint 1.11.2 build 20250610114348) and booting the SD Card, I can't access OctoPrint. I can SSH to the RPi and see the same info on "sudo service octoprint status", but I don't have any logs on "~/.octoprint/logs/". Also, when I access the http://rpi.ip.address, I see a webpage with this error message and some instructions: "The OctoPrint server is currently not running".
The info on service status is:
Aug 28 20:23:55 octopi systemd[1]: Started octoprint.service - The snappy web interface for your 3D printer.
Aug 28 20:24:08 octopi systemd[1]: octoprint.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=4/ILL
Aug 28 20:24:08 octopi systemd[1]: octoprint.service: Failed with result 'signal'.
Aug 28 20:24:08 octopi systemd[1]: octoprint.service: Consumed 3.505s CPU time.
There is a reason those Pis are not recommended for running OctoPi/OctoPrint.
Recommended hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, 4B or Zero 2. Expect print artifacts and long loading times with other options, especially when adding a webcam or installing third party plugins. Setups not using recommended hardware are not officially supported.
Please note that the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W are not recommended explicitly since severe performance issues were observed, caused by the WiFi interface when bandwidth is utilized (e.g. the webcam is streamed), negatively impacting printing quality. See also here. The Zero 2 however is recommended. (from OctoPrint.org - Download & Setup OctoPrint)
I agree with @Ewald_Ikemann that the best solution would be to purchase new hardware. This site can help you find one in stock. An RPi Zero 2 plus an appropriate mini-USB cable should work with your existing power supply. An RPi 3B+ is also reasonably priced.
One more experiment with your existing hardware might be worth a shot. Using the Raspberry Pi Imager, download and install Raspberry Pi OS (other), Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) or (Legacy, 32-bit) Lite. Set the username to "pi" with whatever password you desire. Then use https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy to install OctoPrint.
