Fix the corrupted Jupyter Notebook server configuration by resetting or editing the main configuration file

  1. Locate the configuration file or generate the Jupyter configuration file using the Python Command Prompt. Refer to How To: Change the default start directory for Jupyter Notebook for instructions.
  2. Open jupyter_notebook_config.py using a text editor. 
  3. Remove the following lines:
c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'
c.NotebookApp.port = 8888
  1. Save the file and restart ArcGIS Pro.

Repair the ArcGIS Pro Python environment

If the Python environment is corrupted, repair or upgrade it through ArcGIS Pro’s built-in tools to restore missing or damaged files and ensure compatibility. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Repair an environment for instructions.

Set an exclusion on proxy settings

An exclusion must be set by the IT department on the proxy settings to prevent localhost:8778 or 127.0.0.1:8778 from being routed through the proxy.
