Hi Dennis,
I’ve just been through all this myself a few days ago and I did a bunch of
different things to get owserver, owhttpd server and PHP / Python network / api
bindings to work. I had to build from source to fix an issue with the specific
1-Wire chips I use.
I think you’ll find it might be an issue with the user that the service is
being started as and having permission to bind to a TCP port < 1024.
Also I noticed that the command line for the owserver config in the service
definition seemed to default to using:
-w 1 (from memory) for the in-kernel bit-bashed 1-Wire support.
I changed this to be: -c /etc/owfs.conf so that it picked up all its settings
from the config file
Check those things and see if it makes a difference else come back here with
some more questions and I can check my RPi 4 at help after work
HTH
