I just started a parity rebuild, and I don't want to reboot (am 2 hours into a 24-hour rebuild after upgrading to a larger parity disc).

Through a series of stupid moves on my part, I killed the Nginx processes and cannot get into the webgui (was doing something unrelated to the parity rebuild).

I tried "/etc/rc.d/rc.nginx reload" and "/etc/rc.d/rc.nginx restart", but I get the message, "Nginx is not running."

Is there any way to get it up and running without restarting the server? 

I am tracking the status of the parity rebuild using "cat /var/local/emhttp/var.ini | grep mdResyncPos" so I'll know when it's done.

If I can't get the webgui running, it's no big deal - I can wait until tomorrow night and restart the server. 

I'm using the latest stable version of unRAID.

Thanks for the help.

 

I'm wondering the same thing myself?  No replies?

Having ocational issues with the GUI, I've added the following to my .zshrc for a quick fix to most issues.

# Unraid GUI shortut
unraid-gui () {
  if [[ "$1" = "nuke" ]]; then
    unraid-api restart
    /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx restart
  else
    /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx "$1"
  fi
}

 

To start nginx if it's down, 

/etc/rc.d/rc.nginx start

usually does the trick (using the above function, I just type 'unraid-gui start')
