hi there - I’m having trouble telling my flow where to look for prefect server (the api). I’ve tried many different ways to set

prefect.config.api.url

(env variable

PREFECT__CONFIG__API__URL

and setting it in

config.toml

but when I call

.register()

I get the following error:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=4200): Max retries exceeded with url: /graphql (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fbcbd594e10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

indicating that it’s still trying

localhost

instead of what I’ve given it (which does not resolve to

localohost

) - any ideas?

Hey @Kevin Weiler, I believe other users have encountered this error before, let me get more information for you.

cool, thanks!

Hmm, I'm wondering where in the process this error is occurring. How do you have your config.toml setup? Here's the Prefect config.toml for reference.

referencing your

config.toml

it looks like

PREFECT__CONFIG__API__URL

is the wrong env variable. I think the one I want to set is

PREFECT__CONFIG__SERVER__ENDPOINT

The endpoint may be what you're looking for, but we'll have to test it out. I'd also recommend configuring either the env variables or config.toml, but not both to avoid crossing those wires.

thanks - yeah, I’m just going with config.toml for now

As a follow up the correct env var for setting that would be

PREFECT__SERVER__ENDPOINT

without the

__CONFIG

ah thanks sir!
