Second step of SourceTree installation (Resgistration) fails -> localhost:34106 refused to connect

[Katerina]

I am using Windows 10.

I have uninstalled SourceTree because I couldn't perform Push, I spent a lot of time trying to resolve the issue and couldn't, and decided to uninstall and reinstall it.

So, after downloading the latest version and running the installation file, on the second step

I chose Bitbucket.

A new tab in my browser opens with the url: http://localhost:34106/?code=******************&state=authenticated

The page never loads, and I am getting this error:

I have deactivated the firewall and antivirus.

Do you happen to have any idea about what I can do to proceed with the SourceTree installation?

Thanks in advance!

Based on your screenshots, I guess you're using Chrome, correct?

Try setting a different browser as default (Firefox or Edge for example), and try again.

We had this same problem on some machines at my workplace, and the only thing that worked was (temporarily) using another default browser that wasn't Chrome.

PS: We never figured out why it wasn't working in Chrome.

Thank you for your answer Tom. Other than Chrome, I had tried Brave, Firefox, Opera, and Edge in both normal and private windows. Unfortunately, none of them was successful.

That's a shame to hear. I'll ask around tomorrow at work to see if anyone remembers any extra details that might be helpful, and will report back if possible.

Hi @Katerina and welcome,

based on your URL it seems that you are trying to access a server/data center instance. Try to select bitbucket server.

Please let me know if it solves your issue.

Thank you for your answer. The truth is that I did not try your suggestion, because my account is a Bitbucket account, not a Bitbucket server account. But I did the following:

I run the installation file again and chose "Bitbucket" again. A new tab with a similar url opened again, the page didn't load again, but after all these in the installation window I saw "Authentication OK". So I continued with the installation and completed it. In SourceTree, my repo was there, and when I opened the Account settings (Tools -> Options -> Authentication -> <my account> -> Edit): Authentication failed! Only when I set this account as default I was able to complete Push through the Terminal. When I closed SourceTree and then opened it again, Is saw this:

Since I had installed and used it, why do I see the installation window again? And why all this mess with authentication? Do anyone happen to have any idea?

Anyway, I clicked "Skip" on this step, the process was completed, SourceTree opened, and the account I had set as default is not default anymore.
