I have a small Unraid server setup with a lenovo mini PC. If i have a browser tab open with the unraid UI of the server and I attempt to open another tab with the same UI the moment i try and open this second browser tab the server shuts down instantly (it executes the proper shut down script and does so gracefully). Anyone have any thoughts here? I've setup the logs on a remote server and am not seeing anything indicating what the problem would be.

That should not happen, which page/address are you opening to?

 

 

anything on the IP of the server.  if i go to its ip address i can access the UI and everything works perfectly.  I can navigate open my dockers UI's do everything i need to do like normal.  but lets say i wanted to open another browser tab and just go to the ip address it instantly shuts down the server

 

to add a bit more context say I was ipaddress/Shares   if i opened another tab with ipaddress/VMs or even just the ipaddress instant shutdown

No idea how what you describe could happen - it is certainly not normal.
 

The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM copy and only shows what happened since the reboot.   It could be worth enabling the syslog server to get a log that survives a reboot so we can see what happened prior to the reboot. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up, but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server’s address into the Remote Server field.

 

if you then repeat the issue, and after restarting the server post your system’s diagnostics we might be able to try and work out what might be going on.

I actually did enable syslog server and have the logs saving to a share on my other server.   there is literally nothing that happens before that appears to cause the issue but here's what happens right when it does

typo

there were no other log entries 20+ minutes before this and then the instant i open the new tab BAM this happens and it starts to shut down

 

That log snippet shows that the shutdown was explicitly triggered - but not by what.    
 

Are you sure that the URL you are using to connect to the server is not one that was saved from a previous shutdown?    It could also be worth clearing your browsers cache to see if that helps.

Found the problem oddly enough.  looking at my book mark it was:  //ipaddress/webGui/include/Boot.php      which worked fine once... but if i tried to access it again instant reboot

I believe this has been fixed for 7.1.0, and should no longer shutdown the server, but this wasn't correct then:
