Apparently this is because I had set comfyui to --listen, opening it up to the network which triggers some security so people don't install extensions

显然这是因为我将 comfyui 设置为 --listen,将其打开到网络,这会触发一些安全性,因此人们不会安装扩展

So how can we solve this problem. Please tell me the detailed steps, because I am Chinese and cannot understand the meaning of English very well, even if I open the translation

It depends on how you launch comfyui, but you can launch it with launch arguments, one of them is --listen, which makes it available on the network. This will also block extension installation so you need to remove it

这取决于你如何启动 comfyui,但你可以使用启动参数来启动它,其中一个是 --listen,这使得它在网络上可用。这也将阻止扩展安装,因此您需要将其删除

好的,我会试试这个,非常感谢你

怎么解决的,是删除了什么东西吗?

这是因为安全级别太高导致的报错,可以把安全级别设置的低一些。在comfyUI\custom_nodes\comfyUI-Manager\config.ini 里把
security_level = normal改为 security_level=weak后,重启ComfyUl就可以了

This error is caused by a high security level setting. You can lower the security level by opening the config.ini file in comfyUI\custom_nodes\comfyUI-Manager, changing security_level = normal to security_level = weak. After saving the changes, restart ComfyUI to apply the settings.

I should have kept scrolling further, was editing the one under custom nodes and didn't know why it was not working. Thanks!

When Comfy starts, I see this as the config location in the log:

ComfyUI-Manager config path: C:\AI\ComfyUI_GUI\user\default\ComfyUI-Manager\config.ini

I changed this line:

security_level = weak

Restarted. Still get the error when trying to install from git.

Any ideas?

I'm using ComfyUI 0.3.27, ComfyUI_desktop 0.4.32, ComfyUI_frontend 1.14.5 and ComfyUI-Manager 3.30.4

What exactly were you trying to do when the error occurred?

@rconstantine commented on GitHub (Apr 5, 2025):

Thanks for the reply. I dug in and realized that somewhere along the way - initial installation maybe? - that the directory for the models got set, but I couldn't find anything in the GUI to see where it was pointed, nor change it. I found it in a file, and it was pointed to my old portable installation. I recall that when I installed the ComfyUI app, I initially didn't want to move my models, nor duplicate them, so at installation (I think) I just pointed the GUI app to the old location. After spending time with the new app, I decided I wouldn't need the old portable app, so I moved all of the models to the new app's model folder, then got rid of the portable app. That must be when it broke and I was getting my error. In any case, I found the config file with the model path and updated it and now all is well. It might be good to have a way in the GUI to change that.

Thanks Fahd. Just to clarify ComfyUI-Manager has been updated. It actually uses one of two possible paths depending on the version:
Below V3: ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\config.ini
V3 and above: ComfyUI\user\default\ComfyUI-Manager\config.ini
