I’m trying to set up mopidy and iris again after an operating system upgrade - the usual url for iris returns:  
This site can’t be reached  
**192.168.1.137** refused to connect.  
it appears that mopdiy and iris are configured and running.  
i can start a webserver on the rpi and connect to it from networked clients.  
the port appears to be open and listening.

not sure what i’m missing!

i was able to “solve” this by changing hostname in [http] to the actual ip address of this device on the network. not sure how sustainable that is, but ok.

See the documentation for what value to set here, you likely want ‘::’.
