Tracks

Hi all.

Let me start off by saying that I know next to nothing about computers…

That being said, I installed Tracks 1.7.2 using BitNami and had been running it through Google Chrome on my Mac for a solid week, with no hiccups. Suddenly, I get a message saying “Google Chrome cannot connect to localhost:8080/tracks”. I’m re-downloading Tracks at the moment, but I would really rather not lose all of my stuff. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this was my changing the admin email address to my email…not sure why I did that, but whatever. Anyways, is there any way I can fix this? Your help is much appreciated.

EDIT: Also, I’ve found through looking at the “use_tracks” file in the Tracks folder, I am continuing to successfully log in, but the page itself just isn’t loading. And my internet is definitely working, haha.

the message implies (AFAICS) that your bitnami server / vm is not running. Perhaps you can (re)start bitnami

The VM stores the database with all your data on the file system. Backup this file and restore it in a new install will preserve your data. I’m not familiar with the Bitnami install, so I guess you should ask in their forums where you can find the database…

Thanks a lot for your help. Basically posted your reply into the BitNami forums…we’ll see what they have.

Damn, life without Tracks is tough! Seems like I need it to keep track of all my goings-on, haha. Hopefully I’ll get it up and running again soon.

perhaps a hosted tracks works better for you? like gtdify.com or tracks.tra.in ? See all hosts on wiki
