How to restart the AAO webserver?

[jonny 6]

When I start FS2020 and AAO and Firefox with Web FIPs all works well. All works well during a flight. When I land and park the aircraft with engine running for to do some other things. After a while when I return to the aircraft Firefox has lost contact with the webserver, the webserver has stoped working. I restart AAO but the  webserver did not start. I restart FS2020 and AAO but the webserver do not restart. I have to restart the hole PC(Win 10 64bit) and after that all start again.

Why can't I restart the webserver after first lost contact?

Or why stops the webserver at all?

That is something that must be diagnosed on your computer. I don't think that the WebAPI has really stopped. I suspect that some other process, your firewall, or - who knows - is triggering Windows to lock down the IP port of the WebAPI. Having to restart the computer is a good indication of that, Windows likes to keep ports locked sometimes. You could try using a different port, you can change it in the "Tools" menu (for example try 6080).
