  1. Thank you. This did work. I appreciate your response as well. I had to use the media install tool on a windows laptop and it asked if I wanted DHCP or Static IP. I can't remember which I chose originally. Would I want static if my router assigned a static IP to the UnRaid system? Does DHCP hurt anything if I still have the router assign an IP? Asking because I now see my PiHole as a static address in my router client list, and this was not previously the case. If I should ask this in a separate thread I can, it just seemed related to my issue.
  2. Thanks. For whatever reason the linux make bootable script didn't work but I could use the media installer from my wifes windows laptop. I am back up and going as well. I appreciate your response and help.
  3. I am having the same issue JorgeB. And I am kind of an idiot. I want to make sure I understand what you're saying like you're telling a 5 year old. Pull the USB from server pc Plug USB into another pc Copy the "Config" folder Paste into a different location for later Download the unRAIDServer-6.11.0-x86_64.zip Run whatever script you need to install (In my case the linux one) This should install 6.11 to the usb key See if this boots on the server pc if yes, move the previously saved Config folder onto the USB key Try booting again and everything should be back to normal? Yes? I am just very concerned I will break everything.
  4. This is... unsettling. I could not log in to unraid or see the server ip on my network at all after upgrading. So I could not remotely check what was going on. I plugged a monitor in and have no idea what to make of this or what to do. The message I am getting from the boot screen is /bzimage... ok /bzroot.... ok "Kernel Failed: Invalid argument" May include /bzroot-gui... (if selected) and then failure. No boot option, safe mode or otherwise, results in bootup. I can tab to edit options but I am not sure what I could enter here that would help anything. Please help?
  5. I updated to Unraid 6.11 last night and after a reboot my server is no longer detected on my network and shares are inaccessible. It is not in the client list my router can display. Until the update it was fine. Router still shows everything else that is connected so I do not think it is a router problem. So I can't log in remotely to see what is going on. This is running on old hardware that I repurposed and uses a VGA cable that I can't find anywhere in my house so I can't physically look at it. So my question is can I pull the USB key, plug it into another computer with modern video, see if I can fix what is going on, and then put it back into the usual older pc to get back up and going? Or would doing that break my shares, parity, settings, etc? If I have to I can order a VGA from amazon, I am just hoping I can do something else in the mean-time.
  6. I upgraded last night. I can no longer log in remotely. Going to my server address results in "this site can't be reached". This is my own fault but it is running on older hardware that uses an old VGA for video which is now lost so I can't physically see what is going on either. Not sure what to do other than find an old cable or monitor now. If I pull the USB key and put it into another computer and boot there (where I have a modern monitor) to troubleshoot plugins and settings would that work? Or does it need to see the correct drives to work properly and lose I lose everything?
  7. I am having a "DNS resolution unavailable" error when I try to update that. I don't think ads are being blocked because I still see a lot of them. Wondering if anyone can look at this and tell me what I have set incorrectly. I really don't know much about networking. Kinda flying blind following SpaceInvaders tutorial, but it looks a little dated. I took a few screenshots since they are probably better at explaining what is going on than I could.. I would appreciate any assistance.
  8. I understand I need to fix this but I do not know how. That is why I posted all the screen caps. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing. I'm a regular guy who followed a youtube tutorial. I noticed that in my router in DHCP settings my IP Pool Starting Address is 192.168.1.2 and that is the IP pihole is using. Would that be a conflict? I thought that just meant that is the number the router would use to start looking for things on the network. When I tried an IP range outside of that for pihole it gave me an error saying it was outside the range of my subnet. Whatever that means.
  9. Hey all. I am hoping someone can help me out here. I have been using this pi-hole template docker for almost 8 months without an issue. We had a power outage the other day, and since then if I use pi-hole for DNS nothing resolves, pages don't load, and ads are not blocked. If I change my dns setting in my router to just use google DNS everything is fine. If I change it to 192.168.1.2 (set for pihole in the docker config) my router insists I am not connected to anything and nothing loads. I really don't know why. I haven't changed any settings in forever which is why I mention the outage. Can't think how that would affect anything either but it's all I have. I also finally updated unraid to 6.9.2 but this issue was occurring before that. I'm going to attach whatever makes sense for settings as screen caps. Please let me know if anything else would be useful. If you look at AsusSetup 1 and 2 you will see there are two different places to enter a DNS server. Should I only be using 1 or both? That may not be *the* problem but I am thinking it might be *a* problem. I tried to follow SpaceInvader1's video as closely as I could. Also if I go into pihole settings and "update gravity" it hangs for a while then comes back with "DNS resolution not available". No idea what broke or how to fix it. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
  10. I am currently on 6.8.3. I have an SSD cache drive and that is where appdata lives right now. So it sounds like I wouldn't be able to go back. I'm working on figuring out how to correctly use the appdata backup tool right now. If I manage that I might click the button. It's just something tells me not to push the button. I have too much other stuff going on right now to deal with trying to fix things if they go sideways on me.
  11. I appreciate the responses. It looks like this release has some issues to iron out. At least from what I have seen quickly looking through the forum here. I think being that I am pretty new to unraid in general I'll just wait.
  12. Hi. I have been using unraid for about 2 months now and today saw a banner to upgrade to a new version. This will be the first time I have done an OS update. Are there any recommended steps I should take before I click the button, or is the process fairly easy and clean?
  13. I am trying to set this up. I installed the MySQL docker image. MySQL says it's running. I went to the webui for cheverito to enter my info there and get the message "Can't connect to the target database. The server replied with this: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client Please fix your MySQL info." I don't know what info I need to fix? I installed the MySQL Workbench docker and I seem to be able to connect with that... So I don't know what I am doing wrong?
  14. I installed a Dell HBA flashed to IT mode. I had a lot of issues with it but it turned out that i had to mask off 2 smbus pins, B5 and B6. Once i did this i could boot and my drives are detected. However, now my lan won't start. I have an Intel network card in a pcie 1x slot that was working fine. Made no changes to that or its settings. Just installed the hba. When I'm at the ui it says port eth0 is down, check connection. I didn't even unplug anything to install the hba. And my array says "too many devices" which it didn't before. I'm in a trial still but had another week left at least. There are 7 drives in my array. It says parity is ok. Please help?
  15. Thanks, the one I linked a couple posts up is using an ASM1062, or at least so it says, but after looking at the LSI controllers that seems the better way to go. I just have to watch price since most of them don't seem to have cables with them. That and I don't want to get scammed.
