Hello,

when I start Mopidy by typing: `mopidy`, Mopidy starts and I can use the musicbox\_webclient without any problems:

```

```

When I use Mopidy as a service by typing: `sudo service mopidy start`  
I can open the website http ://127.0.0.1:6680/mopidy/. This site shows:

## Web clients

- [musicbox\_webclient](http ://127.0.0.1:6680/musicbox\_webclient/)  
Web clients which are installed as Mopidy extensions will automatically appear here.

When I click to musicbox\_webclient the site opens but the are a lot of connection issues, e.g.:

mopidy.min.js:5 WebSocket connection to ‘ws: [//127.0.0.1:6680/mopidy/ws](https://127.0.0.1:6680/mopidy/ws)’ failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED

**This is my service status:**

**It seems that musicbox\_webclient is not running when I Start mopedy as a service. Right?**

**This is my config:**

```
# For further information about options in this file see:
# http://docs.mopidy.com/
#
# The initial commented out values reflect the defaults as of:
# Mopidy 2.2.2
# Mopidy-File 2.2.2
# Mopidy-HTTP 2.2.2
# Mopidy-Local 2.2.2
# Mopidy-M3U 2.2.2
# Mopidy-MPD 2.2.2
# Mopidy-SoftwareMixer 2.2.2
# Mopidy-Stream 2.2.2
#
# Available options and defaults might have changed since then,
# run `mopidy config` to see the current effective config and
# `mopidy --version` to check the current version.

[https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/service/](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/service/) for help when running as a service.

`sudo mopidyctl deps` shows the extensions Mopidy has found; is musicbox-webclient found?

`sudo mopidyctl config` shows the config being used.

If you want to use an extension installed from PyPi _with the service_ then the extension must be installed with `sudo pip install MOPIDY-EXTENSION`.

Hello kingosticks,

thanks for your fast resonse!  
The mistake was: the /home/pi/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf was configured correctly, but the /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf was empty 😃

You helped me a lot to find the mistake. Thank you

Best,  
Jan
