The octoprint server is currently not running error

Thanks. I'm sure this was caused by my stupidity in trying to install a plugin. In this case I was trying to install Filament Manager and not knowing what I'm doing I downloaded the files and from within Octoprint tried to run a file "setup.py"

Can you say more about using SSH, restarting in safe mode and how to correct the plugin not loading correctly (or point me to a tutorial)? I'm not sure how to do anything outside of the user interface.

So the easiest way (probably) for you to do this, is to edit config.yaml as the safe mode link says.

You can find it at home/pi/.octoprint/config.yaml - best if you are you using WinSCP (how did you get the log file?)

There you should (if I remember correctly) be able to edit config.yaml to include the safe mode line, if you want to activate safe mode.

To get rid of the plugin, navigate to /home/pi/.octoprint/plugins and delete the setup.py file from there.

If you want to know more about SSH and the command line, there is loads available on the internet, and its a good skill to have to deal with Raspberry Pi.

Thanks, I got it all sorted out! (I think)

i have the same problem, but the thing is that the plugins folder is already empty, and i get the same message with @buckeyestargazer, after exactly the same update. after update it restarted and never came back.
and i am not pretty sure that the safe mode is working. i have the same message

We'll need the log files from your OctoPrint install to confirm it is the same issue.

can i ask which exactly log files do you want cause some of these are too big

@Charlie_Powell it was too big so i uploade it at onedrive Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

BTW: You can zip a log file...

yes, but how much can you decrease a 500mb file?

Your file zipped is 2.03 MB.
BTW, it's only 110 MB uncompressed

ok, i am zipping it now.. or can you see the file via Onedrive?

Yep. You may start in safe mode.
You can start the safe mode also from SSH. Just follow the instructions in the link.

BTW: The 3d Geeks plugin is filling the log file by over 98% with just info messages

i have tried Safe mode but it does nothing at all

In what way?
It should disable all 3rd party plugins.

i can't confirm this because i get the same message about octoprint server.....
Also the folder plugins is completely empty

But the log should be a bit more skinny

This is the code in config.yaml
server:
startOnceInSafeMode: true
commands:
serverRestartCommand: sudo service octoprint restart
systemRestartCommand: sudo shutdown -r now
systemShutdownCommand: sudo shutdown -h now
firstRun: false
incompleteStartup: true
onlineCheck:
enabled: true
pluginBlacklist:
enabled: true

Really i have no idea.

It doesn't look like you have the same issue if it is not solved by the same problem.

It would probably be better to create a new 'Get Help' topic so that we can specifically look at your problem.
