Hello, I been previewing my project on my phone using the HTTP server perfectly, but today it doesn't work, just let me preview on localhost.

it shows the message below:

Unable to start HTTP server on '198.168.1.8' port 50000 (1214). You may need to restart Construct 2 with administrator privileges.

Construct 2 will attempt to start the server on 'localhost' instead.

I'm running Construct 2 as administrator, it was working perfectly fine yesterday...

Please let me know how I can get it to work again.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards.

Error 1214 is ERROR_INVALID_NETNAME ("The format of the specified network name is invalid."). The IP address looks mis-typed, local addresses like that usually start with 192, not 198. Alternatively perhaps your local IP address changed.

Thank you, Ashley

You were right, seems like the IP direction changed.

I fixed it by making sure all the settings were matching again.
