Can no longer access motioneye via IP address
I can no longer access motioneye via the IP address I was previously using. Do you know why this might be the case? I have moved home and now have a different router but I am using an ethernet cable. I haven't used a raspberry pi much so I'm a bit stuck on where to start looking and resolving the problem. The raspberry pi's lights are on including the neterowr

Log Files
I can't connect so don't know where to find the log files. I have taken the sd card out of raspberry pi and looked but can't see any log files here (nothing ending in .log anyway)
You say you are using a new router. What was the IP address you were using, and what IP address does your computer have? Was the IP address on the Pi set to static? This is a good reason to have the Pi set to DHCP and have the router always hand out the static IP address...
I was using http://192.168.2.111/ to access Motioneye from my laptop. Do I need to set the laptop's IP address on the motioneye software? How to set to DHCP? Can I use the sd card on Windows or Mac and just alter some settings that way?
Thanks but I'd rather not show it on a public forum. What should I do with the IP address for my laptop?
If it doesn't begin 192.168.2.xxx then it can't talk to the Pi. You can change the default address that the router network is on to begin with the 192.168.2.1 or You may be able to change the IP address of the laptop to be temporarily on the old 192.168.2.xxx or You can re-image the SDCard, as the partitions are marked READ-ONLY for /root and that's where the file exists that holds the static IP address information. The first 2 options are beyond the scope of support here The third option is to grab the dev20201026 image for the Pi3 and start over.
so it was DHCP (I connected a keyboard & monitor to the Raspberry Pi). The only thing now is that I can't remember my login! ha! (I think I remember the password though). Is the login accessible anyhow?
Admin user is 'admin' all lower case Normal user is 'user' all lower case
Basically my saved ip address was wrong. I found the admin & password too! Yup, thanks!!!!
