Describe the problem/error/question

I changed the base URL to http://127.0.0.1:11434/, but it is not connecting despite getting an “Ollama is running” message on that site in my browser.

What is the error message (if any)?

Couldn’t connect with these settings

Retry

ECONNREFUSED

I am running into the same issue and have been stuck for an entire day trying to make the correct changes. Are you running a paid version of n8n?

I am experiencing the same issue, and am using the Community version installed through Docker on an Ubuntu host. Ollama is running on the host outside Docker.
