http-ui only binds to localhost (127.0.0.1) - bettercap

Ok I set http.proxy.address to 192,168.1.x, then started the ui and started the proxy. It enabled forwarding with port 8080 however im getting multiple errors

2021/09/22 13:01:03 http: Accept error: accept tcp 192.168.99.47:8080: accept4: too many open files; ring in 640ms

These just repeat and web browser spits out

dial tcp 192.168.99.47:8080: socket: too many open files

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 2147483647

Believe if you set *server.address and/or api.rest.address to 0.0.0.0 it should be reachable on all interfaces.

Thanks for the reply, Still when running the http-ui, it reverts back to 127.0.0.1:80 however the http server does run now binding to 0.0.0.0, but still no GUI.

If I understand this correctly, the http.server is just for browsing the directories and should not be pointing to the www root? When launching the http-ui this is when the UI starts and points to the www root directory?

Thanks for the help

just a thought, is it possible that external connections are not possible without the use of HTTPS?

You likely should be hitting (in your case) http://192.168.99.47:port (don't add all the/usr/local/ect path. No path at all.)

Port as defined by http.server.port (believe 80 may be the default so http://192.168.99.47:80 if http)

Also, rule out the basics on the above. Make sure your browser isn't redirecting to https when you intend http. Click Advanced Settings/developer tools. Load page, see if content is loading.

On your box itself, also make sure nothing else also using the same port defined in http.server.port
