I think it might be to late to join this conversation but I have the same issue. Can somebody say if they fixed this problem?
i dont want to make a new post because the problem is exactly the same and I have not found in github a solution.
Topic: Need help with open bazaar. Unable to connect with server. (Read 1817 times)
I cannot get it to work!!!
I get unable to connect to server. It might be something with my router.
My router forwards incoming TCP connections on ports 18466, 18469 and 18470 to my desktop, where OB runs.
I also tried to use UTP for these ports.
I changed to use Username and Password

I installed fresh on Ubuntu 15.10 (deleting /usr/share/openbazaar and ~/.openbazaar first) via Ubuntu Software center and then started in a Terminal openbazaar.
The GUI starts. I fill out the form and it hangs to try to connect to the server. The terminal shows only entries like:
[STR] stdout "2016-05-12 16:24:58+0800 [Server] [WARNING] no known neighbors, so not writing to cache."
Any idea how to get it to work?

This is why i love this forum if you have any issue if the people can help you they will help you.
Yeah and weren't we told that anarchists were a group of people who didnt care much right. Its funny how people will go out of their way to help you for no reason even when they aren't forced.
- what kind of windows version ( windows sucks 
) are you using ?
- wich firewall ? has it got there specific rules ?
anyway, if you are still unable to run OopenBazaar , i could propose you a personal help to got it running.. Just PM me.
regards.

I wouldn't think I'd need much technical expertise but when I load the program all I get is unable to connect to server. I've tried uninstalling multiple times. The tutorial is no help at all because this first step isn't even addressed.
on wich os are you triying to install it? when you enter your username and password into the server config, you have to modify one file too in openbazzar folder who is located (in linux) under usr/share , this folder is named: ob.cfg file (in the OpenBazaar-Server folder) ,Scroll down until you find these lines:
#USERNAME = username
#PASSWORD = password
Remove the # in front of USERNAME and PASSWORD
Change the username and password to whatever you want, for ... and you should be done with your server fully working .. relaunch your openbazzar setup , enter the same credentials you've put in your ob.cfg fine ... and GO ! Cheers!
