Spiderfoot localhost connection refused

having successfully started one spiderfoot scan, and exited it by ctrl C, i cannot now restart the server – either by the webgui or by the sfcli.py command. I am running it on kali on a rasberry pi 4.

Rebooting the OS does not work; disabling the ufw firewall does not work.Kali is updated and upgraded. No other processes are running on the localhost (except for the ssh connection).

Trying to open a new spiderfoot connection on a different localhost port defaults to port 5001 and the error message above.

[!] Failed communicating with server: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=5001): Max retries exceeded with url: /ping (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0xb5e08790>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))
