I'm using version 4.7 of Unraid on a Macintosh system OS X 10.6.8. I'm able to access the server through the network properly but I can't access the controls through the web browser in either Safari or Google Chrome. It's worked flawlessly for quite some time until the last two days. I am also unable to access the server through the Mac command line interface which is called terminal so I cannot capture the syslog at this point.  I have tried turning the power off and on on the server with no change. in of also done all the Mac troubleshooting stuff I know about.

 

The only thing that has happened differently is I've run the latest system update on my Mac but I really don't think that's the problem because I can't access our server on any of our computers connected to the network through a browser.

 

 

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.  Kind of stuck here.

 

You can access it with Terminal if you know the IP address.

 

telnet xxx.xxx.x.xxx 23

 

(Put the IP address of the server where the x's are)

Daveguy,

  Have you tried to get in thru Telnet?  I use JellyfiSSH, it's a free download, just google it.  Make sure you have the right ip address. Connect and log in.  If you're successful there are a few things you can try (I picked up these tips when I was having the same problem).  First try to re-establish the web interface by entering at the prompt:

 

nohup /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

 

Try the web interface.  If that doesn't work, try:

 

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

 

If that doesn't work you can call up some of the syslog by typing:

 

tail -f /var/log/syslog

 

This should display the last 10 or so messages generated in the telnet window and will continue displaying more messages as they are generated.  You can copy and paste these into a txt file.

 

I'm not sure how to get the entire syslog to display in the telnet window, but you can generate and save the entire syslog to the flash drive by typing:

 

cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog.txt

 

This will save a txt file on the your boot flash drive.  Then you can do a clean shut down of the unRAID by typing:

 

powerdown

 

Then once it's shutdown, you can just plug the flash drive into your mac and retrieve the file.  I haven't tried this last option, but I think it will work.  Let me know if this helps.

I am thinking now the problem might be related to my router. I have exchanged my Linksys switch for an AirPort Extreme recently and I think it may be somehow restricting my browser access. I will revert to the earlier configuration and see if that solves my problem.

So it turns out that the IP address I had set up as static on my Unraid server had somehow changed to a different IP address. When I corrected it everything became normal. Thanks for all the suggestions. Should've caught this myself sooner.
