Beginner's help required - Cannot connect to web UI

[stablgr]

Hi everyone,

I've recently got my hands on a Raspberry Pi 2 and am excited at the prospect of building my own music player using Rune Audio, but I've come unstuck when trying to get it up and running. I'm new to all of this so please bear with me if I'm missing something totally obvious or, more likely, doing something incredibly stupid!

I've managed to download the latest RuneAudio image and successfully installed it on a Sandisk 16GB micro SD card. So far so good. I connected all the cables (HDMI, keyboard, powered usb hub with portable HDD attached and ethernet cable to my iMac), then plugged in the Pi power cable. It appears to start up ok displaying a Copyright message and the runeaudi login prompt.

This is where it has all ground to a halt. When trying to connect to the Web UI by typing in http://reuneaudio.local in a new safari browser window on my iMac nothing happens. It just sits there. I also tried using the IP address that appears for the ethernet connection in the iMac System Preferences Network tab. Still no joy.

Is directly connecting the Pi to my iMac's ethernet port appropriate?

Any assistance to help get me going would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Gary

If you can, plug the ethernet cable into your router.

In other words, do you have a home network and router with an ethernet port or two that you can connect the Pi to, instead of directly to the computer, and try that way?

Thanks for the help. I finally managed to get everything up and running

I was able to connect the Raspberry Pi directly to the iMac by changing the settings on the iMac to turn on internet sharing to computers using ethernet.

I'm now able to play music stored on a USB connected portable hard drive as well as air play from my iPad an iPhone. Next step is to set up access to the drive on my iMac where all my music is stored.

@PeterB: I had the same issue as @stablgr. My case Pi 2 is connected (LAN cable) to a 8ports D-Link switch that it is then connected to the router. I have no idea why the RuneAudio on my android smartphone even web browser on laptop could not detected the Pi2 . Tks in adv for your kind support.

@PeterB: Tks for your reply. I tried all of those steps as you advised but failed from yesterday till an hour ago as I was successful got it connected.

Till this success, I searched much to find from others for the same issue but less people has the same. I supposed to the router that I changed it to the D-Link router setting Ipv6 but still failed. I tried with runeaudio even runeaudio.local both on laptop (xp sp3) and smartphone android L but failed too. I also installed RuneAudio from Play Store but it ran without detected of RuneAudio on Pi 2

From searching, I knew the login name 'root' and password is 'rune' that I logged in successfully but it is still stuck to connect to Rune UI

Finally when I was in router at its status screen (DLink) I saw the RuneAudio appearing with the 192.168.0.13 so I typed this into web browser on smartphone that it was successful.

It is ok now but I tried connection without logging root/rune in then failed. I wonder so we need to log in each time we want to play?

The app on android runs improperly

Cannot use runeaudio or runeaudio.local on web browser except the IP instead at least for my case.
