Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingWhy do I get a 405 Method Not Allowed error when connecting Mealie to Open-WebUI?
The error occurs because the API endpoint is incorrect. Set OPENAI_BASE_URL to include the /v1 prefix (e.g., https://myAIdomain.com/v1). If using an API key, set OPENAI_API_KEY instead of custom headers. For custom headers, use OPENAI_CUSTOM_HEADERS as a JSON string (e.g., {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"}).
