Hi, a beginner here, need help

Trying to run the locally hosted streamlit app but not able to open in browser

Error on browser

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

Try:

Notepad code

import streamlit as st

st.set_option(‘server.port’, 8502)

def main():
st.title(“Chatbot UI”)
user_input = st.text_input(“Enter your message:”)
st.button(“Send”)

if name == “main”:
main()

How can that possibly work? By the time st.set_option('server.port', 8502) is executed, the server has already started. And you would need to change the code to make it run in a different port.

Besides, the welcome message suggest me that your streamlit is quite old. In a recent version you would get this (IP redacted):

(venv) E:\chatbot_project>streamlit run streamlit_app.py

  You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

Hi really appreciate your response. I’ve edited the code based on what I understand from your reply. Still can’t access in browser

Command

(venv) E:\chatbot_project>streamlit --version
Streamlit, version 1.28.2

it says requirement already satisfied

My new notepad code

import streamlit as st

def main():
st.title(“Chatbot Streamlit App”)

user_input = st.text_input(“Enter your message:”)

if st.button(“Send”):
chatbot_response = get_chatbot_response(user_input)
st.text_area(“Chatbot Response:”, chatbot_response, height=100)

def get_chatbot_response(user_input):
return "Chatbot: Hello! I’m a simple chatbot. You said: " + user_input

if name == “main”:
main()

The code looks right and “can’t access in browser” doesn’t really tell much about what is going on. Are there any error messages?

Thank you for your assistance. At the moment, I’ve identified an alternative solution. I appreciate your help.
