Traccar Manager "server connection failed"

On my mobile using chrome browser I can get to (my local) traccar server with local ip address or using external ip address or via ddns. All three methods work like a charm.

But if I use traccar manager app (on Android), none of the above three addressing methods work. Sometimes there is no response at all, most of the time I get "server connection failed". I've tried both wifi and gprs. The same for my tablet (has no sim, only wifi).

Wonder if anyone has a clue.

Thanks!

What is the server URL you're using?

Either https://192.168.1.246 or https://<my external ip> or https://<my ddns url>

The sample url that shows when you first start TM does not have a port number (8082) but I've tried that as well.

How did you get a valid SSL certificate for an IP address?

I didnt get one. Sorry, the chrome browser addresses mentioned above should have been http://.

But I also tried http://192.168.1.246 or http//<my external ip> or http://<my ddns url> in TM. Same result.

OK, so what is that external address?

Is there a more private way way I can let you know? I'm a bit hesitant putting that on a public forum.

I can only connect to your server using port 8082, not 80.

Port 8082 is the one for TM? Port 80 is forwarded to another server that is offline at the moment so that makes sense. Why would you need 80 for?

Port 8082 is the one that I'm using from within the browser. Like I mentioned, that works fine. But I do not specify a port in TM, only the ip address. I've tried that though.

When you don't specify the port, it means port 80. So what you're saying and doing makes very little sense to me. Why are you not using the same URL as in the browser?

Because when you start TM first time, it shows the screen with your traccar demo url without any port. So my assumption is that you will append the portnr in TM.

But, like I said, I also tried with portnr and it does not make a difference

Not sure how you tried, but this works for me, as I said:

http://your.ip.address:8082

Demo uses the standard HTTP port, so it's not explicitly specified. Traccar Manager does not add any non standard port. That would be confusing and wrong.
