[SOLVED] Can't connect to GUI after upgrade to 6.9

[yaneck]

Hello everyone

 

So I just upgraded my server to Unraid OS 6.9.

 

Everything worked fine during the upgrade, no hickups.

 

But now when I try to connect to the GUI through a mac via google chrome (with the xxx.unraid.net address) I get the error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

 

So I went to my router and I've seen that my server is indeed connected with it's fixed DHCP lease (defined in my router) as 192.168.1.9

Then I went to the console (screen, keyboard and mouse connected to my server) and also saw that the server is connected to the correct ip.

By the way I can still access all my shares from the network.

 

So I then decided to reboot to go into GUI mode on the server directly.

 

And then, after selecting Unraid OS GUI mode, while loading it freezes. See attached image.

 

So then I tried flushing the DNS cache on my router, on my browser and on my mac. And then tried to connect to the GUI again via chrome to no avail.

 

Any idea what I can do?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

That is usually a flash drive problem, backup and recreate it.

My unraid server is at 3 hours of where I live.. hope I will not need to do this... I think I will postpone my upgrade for now..

SOLVED

 

I have no idea how I solved it but here is what happened:

 

I created a new usb stick with 6.9.1 on it. Copied all the config files from a backup of 6.8 on it.

 

Restarted my server, selected the new boot drive and restarted.

 

Then the server booted from the old (non functioning one) and... wel it suddely worked. 

 

Then proceded to upgrade it to 6.9.1 and everything is fine since.

 

Thanks for your help!
