I'll fix the "Unknown error" issue in the /api/ollama/status endpoint by improving the error handling and using a more compatible approach for timeouts.

I've fixed the "Unknown error" issue in the /api/ollama/status endpoint by making several important improvements:

Key Changes

1. Improved Error Handling: I've added more detailed error messages and better error type checking throughout the API routes.
2. Custom Timeout Implementation: Replaced AbortSignal.timeout() (which might not be supported in all Node.js versions) with a custom fetchWithTimeout function that works across all environments.
3. Added Diagnostic Endpoint: Created a new /api/ollama/diagnostic endpoint that provides detailed information about your environment, which can help troubleshoot connection issues.
4. Enhanced Status Information: The status endpoint now includes more details like timestamp and host information.
5. Better Error Display: Updated the UI to show more specific error information, including which host it's trying to connect to.

How to Test the Fix

1. Make sure Ollama is running with ollama serve in a terminal window
2. Access your application and check if the connection works properly
3. If you still encounter issues, click the "Run Diagnostics" link on the error page to get detailed information about your environment

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Connection Refused: This usually means Ollama is not running. Start it with ollama serve.
2. Connection Timeout: This could indicate network issues or that Ollama is running but not responding. Try restarting Ollama.
3. Incorrect Host: Make sure your OLLAMA_HOST environment variable is set correctly. For local development, it should be http://localhost:11434.
4. Model Not Found: If Ollama is running but you get model errors, make sure you've downloaded a model with ollama pull codellama:7b.

The improved error handling should now give you much more specific information about what's going wrong, making it easier to troubleshoot and fix any issues.

Good news! The error message you're seeing indicates that Ollama is already running on your system. The message "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted" means that port 11434 is already in use by another process, which is likely an existing Ollama instance.

What This Means

You don't need to start Ollama again because it's already running. This is why you're getting the error when trying to run ollama serve - the port is already occupied by the existing Ollama process.

Next Steps

1. Verify Ollama is Running: You can check if Ollama is running by opening a new terminal window and running:

   ollama list

   This should show you the available models without any errors.

2. Access Your Application: Since Ollama is already running, you should be able to access your application in the browser and it should connect to the existing Ollama instance.

3. If You Need to Restart Ollama: If you want to restart Ollama for any reason, you'll need to stop the existing process first:

   On Windows:

   # Find the process ID tasklist | findstr ollama # Kill the process (replace 1234 with the actual PID) taskkill /F /PID 1234

   On macOS/Linux:

   # Find the process ID ps aux | grep ollama # Kill the process (replace 1234 with the actual PID) kill -9 1234

   Then you can start Ollama again with ollama serve.

Checking Your Application

Since Ollama is already running, try accessing your application now. It should be able to connect to the existing Ollama instance without any issues. If you're still experiencing problems, check the diagnostic endpoint we added (/api/ollama/diagnostic) for more information about the connection status.
