Hey guys. I honestly do not know where to go for this one. I’ve been searching for hours and days and cannot find a single person who has had this issue. I’m using syncthing on my mac, pc and FreeNAS server. Backing up my music collection from my Mac (master) to my PC and from the PC to freenas as a redundancy. I had all of this working for literally ONE day. What happened was I needed to change the folder name on my mac which is the master folder. I changed the folder name and then found the XML config file and changed the path in there. I had done this on my PC and it worked fine without a hiccup. After I did this I had restarted my mac for some reason - it may have installed an update or something - not sure. After that my local 127.0.0.1:PORT will not connect at all. It refuses and I cannot figure out why. What i’ve done to try and fix this already: Re Installed syncthing Restarted syncthing Tried manually starting syncthing Playing around with the config file Extensive googling Tried enabling the firewall to manually approve the port None have worked and Its stopping me from doing all this work I have to do. I know its not EXACTLY freenas per say - that part seems to be fine but if anyone has any help or suggestions I would owe you a beer. Thank you in advance - I really appreciate it.
What does Syncthing say when you start it manually?
it says that its started
We aren’t going to be able to help you unless you give us something to work with.
“cannot resolve 127.0.0.1:8384: Unknown host”
is what i get when i try and ping localhost
Well what do you need?..
Other notable thing:
Turned off firewall Allowing anything via little snitch Installed syncthing again via brew - still wont work
Installed another version from here - same shit - just wanted to try it out. Same situation. Seems to be something on my mac blocking the 127.0.0.1:8384 address but I cant find that or how to fix that.
More notes: This is what happens in the terminal.

You’ve broken the config in your tweaking. Try to spot the error and correct it. Or remove the config and start again - reinstalling Syncthing typically doesn’t clear out the config, which is why that isn’t working for you.
Okay! So this is insane to me but I went and looked at my Windows Config - copied it over and adjusted it to match what I had on line 2 for the mac one. It wound up being the same shit but It now opens the interface!!!
Now it says folder path missng - I have it set to
/Volumes/Storage/Folderpath
Is it /Volumes/ or is that supposed to be something else?
What command are you using? ping 127.0.0.1?
thats what I was using but see below - past that now (thank god)
