Ollama Connection Troubleshooting

Ensure Ollama is Running

Before attempting any fixes or URL changes, verify that Ollama is running properly on your device:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:11434
2. You should see a page similar to this:

If you don't see this page, troubleshoot your Ollama installation and ensure that it is running properly before moving forward.

Automatic URL Detection (LLM & Embedding Providers)

URL Successfully Detected When selecting the Ollama provider, Qubex LLM attempts

to auto detect your Ollama URL. If the option to input the base URL is hidden, the URL was automatically detected by Qubex LLM.

URL Detection Failed When manual endpoint input is expanded, the URL was not

able to be detected.

If Ollama was not started when Qubex LLM tried to detect the URL, start up Ollama then press the Auto-Detect button. This should automatically detect the URL and allow you to begin selecting the Model and Max Tokens values. ## Setting the Correct Ollama URL

If you have confirmed 100% that your Ollama installation is running properly and is not being blocked by any firewalls etc, you can choose to set the URLs manually.

Choose your Qubex LLM version to find the correct Ollama URL:

Desktop Version

Use: http://127.0.0.1:11434

Qubex LLM Desktop: Built-in vs. Standalone Ollama

Qubex LLM Desktop offers two Ollama options:

1. Built-in Qubex LLM LLM Provider:

   • Runs a separate Ollama instance internally.
   • Models downloaded to standalone Ollama won't appear here.

2. Standalone Ollama:

   • Run Ollama separately on your system.
   • Use the URL http://127.0.0.1:11434.

Troubleshooting

If you're still experiencing issues:

1. Confirm you're using the correct URL for your setup.
2. Check for firewall or network issues blocking the connection.
3. Restart both Ollama and Qubex LLM.
