White page after installation from server

Questions

Hey fellow n8n-Fans!
A few days ago I installed n8n on my machine and it worked great! Everything run smooth. Today I tried to set it up on our server but somehow it wont work.
So i used to npm install on our Ubuntu server and now I am trying to access it from my machine via the ip of the server:5678. There are no firewall, or other connection issues I can easily access the server from ssh, ping it and so. We are also in the same network.
When I start the server it says:
Editor is now accessible via:

http://0.0.0.0:5678

but it only shows me a white page and an error with the message “Error connecting to n8n” on the bottom right.

I am using the latest version.
I would be greatful for any hints!
Thanks
Tim

Hi, which errors do you see in the ‘DevTools’ → ‘Console’ tab in your browser?

At first glance, it looks like an https error to me.

Did you enter the correct webhook URL?

You can also start n8n in tunnel mode, which will temporarily give you a URL from n8n. (Of course, your firewall and routing must be configured for this.)

n8n start --tunnel

Thanks for your help!

With the –tunnel option it works with the provided link, so it seems like the installation itself is fine.

What do you mean by using the correct webhook url? On my machine I use the IP address of the server with port 5678.

I do not have something special configured on the server side.
