Cannot connect local server after Thunderbird 38.1.0 upgrade
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2015 3:56 am
Was running Thunderbird 38.0.1 and BirdieSync 3 beta 12 successfully. Then upgraded Thunderbird to 38.1.0 and found I couldn't connect to the Local Server.
If I try to sync, I get an error window: Impossible to connect to server 127.0.0.1
- The IP address and Hostname of the local server (my laptop PC) have not changed.
- The BirdieSync menu Connection|Server Address... shows the correct values.
- The BirdieSync window status bar (bottom) shows the correct Hostname, the correct local server IP address, but an old (now incorrect) value for the WAN IP (ISP assigns a dynamic IP address).
- In Thunderbird's Mail tab, the BirdieSync status shows "Impossible to connect to server 127.0.0.1
If I try to sync, I get an error window: Impossible to connect to server 127.0.0.1
