tinymegalodon's post in Failed UPS Unclean Shutdown - Shares and WebGUI down even after a restore to previous USB drive backup (SOLVED) was marked as the answerSo apparently, this is a lingering issue from the last time I rebuilt the server. It was an malformed SSL cert that was keeping the the WebGUI from booting. I did not have SSL on but there was something screwy with a malformed cert that was preventing nginx from starting.
In the end, I restored the 6/3/2024 backup one last time.
I renamed /boot/config/cert to /boot/config/cert.old
I reviewed /boot/config/ident.cfg to ensure that SSL="no" (it was already)
Then I was able to restart my server with the backup from 6/3/2024 and access the WebGUI.
I was hoping to help myself and the community with this one but it looks like this was a very niche problem that most people wouldn't have. Anyhow, that's how it all turned out.
If you want to check and see if this is your problem, you can run the command:
nginx -s reload
If this gives you a warning, no problem. If it gives you an error, it will not allow access to the WebGUI.
