What is the problem?

Rebooting my pi 4b fails to run octoprint. I can 'ls' etc from my Win 11 and the pi4b, but I don't know how to get octoprint to run now. I've had to re-image the SD card three times now to get octoprint to work when starting.

I don't know what to do next.

What did you already try to solve it?

Rebooted everything,

Have you tried running in safe mode?

not the issue here...

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

SSH to the pi would never take you into OctoPrint, it is specifically to get to the OS. Once you login that way what does sudo service octoprint status tell you? You can write out the log using cat ~/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log and that will show everything on screen. Otherwise, you could use filezilla or winscp to connect over SSH and browse to that same directory (/home//.octoprint/logs/) and download the log file.

As stated above, Putty is only to ssh to a command terminal. The Octoprint interface is a web page and you use your browser to access it

Thank you both!!! I couldn't remember how I got Octoprint launched before (usually left open, always using it). Now I understand, thanks again. I was able to start Octoprint from the browser, now waiting for a new hotend to arrive before using.
