Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. "Connection refused"

    • Ensure Ollama is running: ollama serve
    • Check the correct port (default: 11434)
    • Verify firewall settings

  2. "Model not found"

    • Pull the model first: ollama pull model-name
    • List available models: ollama list
    • Use exact model name with tag

  3. "Out of memory"

    • Use smaller models (7B instead of 13B)
    • Close other applications
    • Consider using quantized models

  4. Slow responses

    • Use smaller models for faster inference
    • Ensure sufficient RAM
    • Consider GPU acceleration if available
