Cannot access PowerChute user interface
Hi there,
I have the APC BX1600MI UPS, and I cannot access the user interface. I reinstalled the software, but at the end of the installation, just before finishing it said: "Service cannot be started," and I clicked on Ok. After that, it completed the installation saying 'The installation was completed successfully.' I was redirected to the page https://localhost:6547/, but the page couldn't be loaded. The error is: "This site can’t be reached - localhost refused to connect."
What should I do? How can I resolve the issue? Why don't you have a desktop app? I have lost so much time already trying to fix this. Please, help as soon as possible.
