January 23, 20251 yr So I can see the machine boot up from the connected monitor, but all attempts to connect via HTTP are refused. I have rebooted a few times, and everything seems to be running bar the GUI access Any ideas with this?
January 23, 20251 yr Author So even when I boot up in GUI mode, I get an error trying to log into https://localhost directly on the machine, it says "unable to connect".
January 23, 20251 yr Author Solution So after a good bit of digging, I realised there was an issue inside my /config folder of the Unraid boot USB. The "go" file was blank and the "ident.cfg" file was blank. I downloaded a fresh zip of version 7, and copied these two files across and once I rebooted, I got the GUI. The next problem was I had to reassign the Apache and another download pool. Starting the array took some time, but all appears to be up and running now. I will restart a few times to make sure everything is stable. Edited January 23, 20251 yr by CasaP

I remember seeing those, is that a bad thing, i.e. USB on the way out, or should I ignore? It's a high quality SANdisk USB, one of those tiny ones. At least if someone else has the same issue, they know there is a fix, due to how rock solid Unraid is. Edited January 23, 20251 yr by CasaP

I frequently end up having to re-image them and restore a backup or replace them entirely. I've read that USB 2.0 drives tend to last longer because they run cooler but they're getting hard to find from decent brands. Just make sure you're backing your USB stick up periodically.

I had nothing but issues with those for about 6 months straight, I went through 3 of them failure after failure until I went back to a basic USB2.0 stick (currently a Cruzer 'Facet') I've been on the same disk now for over 3 years.
January 24, 20251 yr Community Expert Could be just a filesystem issue, it may be good to backup and re-format it, and then see if it happens again.
