Terpinol Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi all, newbie here. I'm attempting to set up my first Unraid server tonight and I'm already running into a problem. I installed the latest OS to the USB stick and booted up. I successfully get a login prompt ("Tower login:"). After looking online, I found out the default login is "root" with a blank password. However, when I enter "root" at the login prompt, I get, "root@Tower:~#". It seems to be in a console mode. Anything I enter here just brings up the same line. The only thing that gets me out is when I type "exit", but then it just brings me back to the "Tower login:" again. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I'm not sure what. Help a noob out? Thx!

Terpinol Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 More info: I got an IP address starting with 169, which I've read means the server isn't communicating with my router. I'll try troubleshooting from this angle. Quote Link to comment
Terpinol Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 FYI, I was finally able to get into the Unraid UI using the unraid gui option on the main menu. Not sure what the problem was earlier, but it appears to be working okay now. Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Did you end up with a proper IP address ? Quote Link to comment
Terpinol Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Yes, I did. After connecting to the GUI, I had a 192.168 local address. Seems to be working fine now. Thx for the check-in. 1 Quote Link to comment
