        Ahhhh,

        it is not running! But when i config the manager using the RetroPie Setup Script it says, that autostart on boot is enabled.
        When i start it by hand, i can access via browser but after a reboot it is again not running automatically.

        Where is the problem?

                  @Bender2k said in Can not connect to Retropie Manager (Connection refused):

                  pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/rc.local

                  #

                  exit 0
                  

                  Maybe those hciconfig commands aren't finalizing and then the rpmanager line isn't being executed. Usually we put a & char in the end each line in the /etc/rc.local in order to make the command execute in background mode and the script goes to the next command.

                  I'm not sure what those hciconfig commands do (something related to bluetooth?), but I would try to add a & at the end of each line and see if it works.

                    Yes, i installed a bluetooth plugin so i can use WiiMotes.
                    I will try to add the "&" to both forst lines.

                      I added the "&" to both lines and i tried to put the 3rd line as first, before the hciconfig lines.
                      Both is not working. The manager is not starting automatically :(

                        @Bender2k comment out the hciconfig lines completely (put a # in front). Also make sure /etc/rc.local has the correct permissions

                        ls -l /etc/rc.local
                        
                        sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local
                        

                        will fix it if it's missing executable permissions.
