Grafana on server 2022

Hello everyone i was trying to install grafana on a windows server and it has not been fruitful for a while i have tried changing ports, making the path both true and false restarting the grafana server everytime i did a change none of it helped. Installed the open source version both 11.5 and 11.4 on the server. Funny enough the same packages work like a charm (out of the box without any config changes) on my windows 11 laptop and a windows 10 desktop.
*There is no reverse proxy setting, port 3000 is working, i can see only Grafana and browser PIDs while running netstat command for 3000. It is in listening state.

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Tried installing both 11.5 and 11.4 (open source)

My goal: Get the ui working on the browser

  • What happened?
    If you’re seeing this Grafana has failed to load its application files pops up no matter what

No change the same setup worked perfectly on my windows 11 laptop and a windows 10 workstation.

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI?

If you’re seeing this Grafana has failed to load its application files

  1. This could be caused by your reverse proxy settings.
  2. If you host grafana under subpath make sure your grafana.ini root_url setting includes subpath. If not using a reverse proxy make sure to set serve_from_sub_path to true.
  3. If you have a local dev build make sure you build frontend using: yarn start, yarn start:hot, or yarn build
  4. Sometimes restarting grafana-server can help

Solution:
USE chrome ditch ms edge
