I can't find anything regarding a solution to this.
Is Electrs running on docker, Ubuntu for Windows (with WSL2), or a virtual machine different than the one running Bitcoin Core ? If so the Bitcoin Core ip will not be 127.0.0.1. Keep in mind that you config for authorization to access bitcoind RPC calls is pointing to CookieFile("/home/dimitris/electrs/cookie"), this needs to point to the bitcoind folder where the .cookie file exists (ex: daemon_auth: CookieFile("/home/myUser/Bitcoin/.cookie")). To configure this you need to create a electrs.toml file at the eletrs root folder, use the doc/config_example.toml as a model. See https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/config.md for more info.
Also check the Bitcoin Core bitcoin.conf file has:
# [rpc]
# Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands.
server=1
You can also config this at the GUI:
Windows firewall will ask for the first time if you allow the application to access the network, if you clicked no, then the firewall will block electrs.
To check for that type at Windows start menu Windows Defender Firewall, click on the link Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall, then check if electrs is allowed.
