Hi,

I can only display the dashboard on the pc where nodered is running. On my mobile device nothing appears.

Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks

Georg

Are you typing in the ip address in the url?

if so are you sure it’s the address of your pc on the network? You can normally get a list of connected machines and their up addresses from your home router

Are you trying to get to the dashboard from the link in the editor or by entering the url directly? Whichever it is, try the other.

What does it show when it does not work?

Have you got another PC on the network, if so then can that connect?

Also can you post what is in the node red log when you start node red? If on a pi or debian based system you should see this by running node-red-log. Not sure how you get it on Windows.

NodeRed is running on a pi  
This is what appears by node-red-log

The bit before that would be useful please. Run node-red-log in one terminal then restart node red in another.

I think you have two dashboard nodes installed, node-red-dashboard and nod-red-contrib-ui. You must remove one of them.  
I suggest also sorting out the phantomjs problem.
