My issue mirrors what many have already posted. Version 6.8.3 worked with no problems for about a year but when I upgraded to 6.9.1 I have experience nothing but problems. When the server boots, the Web GUI on the Windows 10 PC I use can sign in with no problem but if I try to start the array it gets stuck in "Starting Services." The only way to get through to it is to reboot the server to the GUI (because I don't know anything about Linux) and start it there. Is I try to update any settings in the Web GUI in my PC it hangs and I have to reset the server. I am attaching the mirrored log file from my flash drive. If this incorrect I apologize and please direct me to the correct procedure. If there is no solution, how do I revert to version 6.8.3 without erasing the Parity Drive. Thanks in advance.

Before you revert, from GUI mode can you grab the diagnostics (Tools - Diagnostics) and post them here.

Ok, thanks

Thanks.  Do this:

 

Reboot the server into GUI mode, then from Windows, log in and try and start the array.  If it fails, then from the GUI do another Tools - Diagnostics.

 

What you're saying about it getting "stuck" doesn't really make much sense as fundamentally there's zero difference between logging in via GUI mode and remotely on another computer.

This time I rebooted the server to the GUI but I could not connect from the Windows machine. I am attaching the diagnostic from the server. Thanks for responding so quickly!

Well, now everything is working. I rebooted the served one more time, I changed the server IP to static, the DNS to static using 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.220.222 restarted docker then started the array and everything works. I don't know what happened or if it is going to stay working. Thanks for the help anyway. I'll post again if I have more problems.
