OpenWrt Raspberry Pi 4 HTTP connection refused [SOLVED]

Raspberry Pi 4 working with Pi OS. Latest EEPROM. Country code set. Ethernet connects to my Linux notebook.

I downloaded OpenWrt Pi 4 64 bit today and put on a microSD card. OpenWrt boots with nice Linux messages on the screen. Ethernet connects. I can ping 192.168.1.1. Browsing 192.168.1.1 produced connection refused.

I tested with two different Web browsers. No other network connections. I experimented with several edits of the connection in the Linux notebook.

ssh and install luci,

Did you install a snapshot image?

ubus call system board

If so, @brada4's comment is the easy solution since Luci is not installed by default in snapshots. But, the other question is if you want/need to use snapshot...

If you installed snapshot ssh and install luci

opkg update
opkg install luci

Or use an 23.05.5 image from https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/

I installed Raspberry Pi 4 image from this page: https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ I do not know if that is a snapshot or not.

The downloaded file name is openwrt-bcm27xx-bcm2711-rpi-4-ext4-factory.img.gz.

A scan of the file system does not show anything containing luci in the name.

neither do we, since the page serves both types of images.

then I guess you've answered your own question ?

I download file openwrt-23.05.5-bcm27xx-bcm2711-rpi-4-ext4-factory.img.gz from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.5/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/ and it is smaller but contains a www directory with files named luci-. I am writing the image to a card for testing.

Success. I guess the Web site needs an update to indicate the difference.

it's well known to people who have used openwrt in the past.
