Unable to connect GanttProject Desktop — port connection error

Hi,

I’m trying to authorize GanttProject Desktop through the browser authentication flow, but I get the following error (see attached screenshot):

“We were unable to contact GanttProject Desktop on port 59792. Please check your browser and firewall settings.”

I’ve already tried:

  • Making sure GanttProject Desktop is open before starting the authorization
  • Checking macOS Firewall settings (System Settings → Network → Firewall)
  • Restarting the app and retrying the process

The error persists. Could you help me understand what might be causing this, or whether there’s a specific port/network configuration I need to allow?

System: macOS (Dell external monitor, if relevant)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Michael Merler


Vuoi che lo adatti (più informale, più tecnico, o aggiunga dettagli tipo la versione dell’app)?

Please try using Chrome.
