freqUI logon issue: Won't accept credentials from config.json about freqtrade

[stash86]

Your API config is wrong. Read this

https://www.freqtrade.io/en/stable/rest-api/#configuration-with-docker

My docker-compose already had this:

    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"

Only the listen_ip_address was incorrectly set in the config file.
Changed it to "0.0.0.0" but the issue persists.

try restart the docker container

I did that ofcourse after changing the config file.
Tried again anyway.
Still the same.

You would not believe what was wrong.
I had VLC player open on the side and it was using the same port of 8080. I wasn't connecting to FreqUI's page in the first place.
Although I did expect some errors to be thrown while starting the docker container if the port is already in use by another application.

Anyway, appreciate your help.
Cheers
