Hi guys,

 

This is my first time posting in this forum, too bad it has to be here:P.

 

After installing and testing unraid for a bit, everything seemed to work. Then i started preclearing my drives and during that i noticed my webgui stopped working. I could still monitor the progess of my preclear via telnet so i tought when its finished ill try a reboot and see if that works.

 

Tried that and various other things mentioned in the forums but still to no avail.

 

So now im trying to ask for help here.

 

im using unraidv5rc8a

 

Here are some things i tried so far:

telnet tower works.

ping tower works.

ping ip of my tower works.

pinging somthing out of my tower (trough telnet) works.

typing in my browser http://tower  or tower:8080 doesnt work

typing in my browser http://ipofmytower or ipofmytower:8080 doesnt work.

tried flushing dns on my pc, didnt change anything.

tried to run unmenu again via telnet (/boot/unmenu/uu) didnt do anything.

 

So im kinda out of ideas, and im hoping someone here can help me with my troubles.

 

Kind regards,

MartijnTiny

 

ps. also attached a syslog.

 

edit: added unraid version

syslog.txt

Tried a few more things, if i give the killall command, im getting a different error in my browser when i try to load the page, its also much faster in giving the errorpage.

 

My guess is that there's something wrong with nas when it tries to give the site to my pc.

Tried a fresh install of unraid today, still doesnt work. Anybody got a clue what to try next?

What specific "killall" command are you issuing?

 

It is considered VERY BAD to kill the process that supplies unRAID's main management web-page.  It cannot be re-started without a reboot.

 

What do you get with this command:

ps -ef | grep emhttp | grep -v grep

 

unless you install unMENU, invoking it will do absolutely nothing.  Even if you do install it, invoking "uu" does nothing but start the process.  It is not expected to return anything to the telnet prompt (other than returning you to another prompt)

 

unless you are running windows and a netBIOS, or have added your server to your hosts file, or set the unRAID server to be the master-browser, it will never show itself on your LAN.

 

Are you running Windows, or a MAC?  If windows, one machine on your LAN is the "master-browser"  It scans about ever 15 minutes for new shares.  If a MAC, you have no master browser, you can only access by IP.

 

Is your firewall on your PC or antivirus blocking you?  Try without it enabled.

Post your 'go' file.  You will find it in the 'config' folder on your flash drive.

also tried it on several pc's on my home network some without virusscanners, still no webgui:(, the browser keeps giving error 103: connection aborted

 

thanks for the fast reply, and i hope there will be a solution.

edit: added go file.

go.txt

Her is your go file

 

#!/bin/bash^M
# Start the Management Utility^M
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &^M
#/boot/unmenu/uu

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c
/boot/config/snap/snap.sh -b

 

You have disabled unMenu so it will not be running. (By placing the '#' at its beginning, you have make it a comment.)

 

I would suggest that you comment out (by putting a '#' at the beginning of each) these two lines:

 

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c
/boot/config/snap/snap.sh -b

 

Post back with what you find. 

 

yeah i disabled unmenu after reading some threads from people of whom i thought to have the same problem.

tried putting # infront of the 2 remaining lines at the bottom and still the webgui wont load, now it just cant connect. The browser keeps saying waiting on 192.168.0.5 (wich is the ip of my box) and keeps doing this for at least 5 minutes before giving up.

You cannot kill emhttp and then re-start it on the 5.0 releases. 

You MUST reboot to restart it.

 

You will need to disable ALL your plugins and add-ons to get much more support.  There are a few that will prevent emhttp from starting properly. (and others that prevent it from stopping if their respective add-on is not stopped first)

 

It sounds as if emhttp is not starting, probably because of an add-on.

According to your syslog, it appears as if that is not your IP address

dhcpcd[942]: eth0: leased 192.168.0.100

I must apologize in advance for what may appear to be a very stupid question. 

 

Have you rebooted your server after making the change to your 'go' file?

yeah i changed it after i posted my syslog, becouse i wanted to rule out the problem that it was caused by dhcp.

 

and yes Frank, i rebooted my server after i edited the go file, also i checked it after i rebooted if the changes i made to it still held, wich was also the case.

Did you do any type of setup on your router?  I find it interesting that dhcp assignments are above 192.168.0.100

 

Most routers tend to begin their assignment of addresses with 192.168.0.2  That is why most of us make our unRAID static IP address assignments up in the 240+ area.  (Most routers intended for home use will start to choke if there are more than about 40 active IP addresses on them.) 

 

If you did assign a static IP address, you should see if your router will permit to reserve that address so that it doesn't hand it out via dhcp.  Those routers which do permit reservation normally do not add static IP addresses to their tables because they only add those addresses which they assign!

I dont remember why i set up my dhcp range between 100 and 200, but that shouldn't make a difference right?

the maximum of clients i've connectec to my router are like 10 or something.

And when i had my box on ip via dhcp it did show up in the dhcp table with the corresponding mac adress, now it doesnt but i think thats becouse its on static ip now.

Im going to try to install a fresh (and other version) of unraid now and see if that makes a difference.

 

thank you for all the help so far:)

 

edit: other version of unraid didnt work either, beginning to wonder if its my box or my router.

First assumption on my part--- You can telnet into the server, right?  If you can this would indicate that the NIC is working.  If this is the case, look at the parameters that you setup in Putty to do this.  I also assume that you only have one NIC installed on this system-- No dual NIC board or a addin NIC card--right.  (If you have two RG45 sockets ANYWHERE on the back of your computer, you probably have two NIC's on the system.)

 

You said you tried another version without results.  I would now suggest that you start with a BRAND NEW flash drive and install rc8 on it using the instructions for a new install.  If you have a license, don't worry about it as you are not going to start the array and thus you won't lose your data.  You are just testing to see that the GUI works.  (DO NOT START THE ARRAY until you are really, really sure that is what you want to do!!!!)

I can telnet in my server, also i can see my thumdrive as a map in my network if i type the adress in windows explorer. I've got only one NIC (just 1 socket), im using the hp proliant n40l for my box. When im using putty i just type tower, click on telnet and the port then changes to 23, thats the only thing i do to telnet into it.

 

Ive also tried another usb drive today with rc8 on it, and again i can get into it with telnet, and see the thumb drive, but cant acces the webgui, still gives me "Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED):" message in multiple browsers.

 

Do you think it will make a difference if i buy a completely new thumb drive and test that? becouse then I will try that too.

and as allways, thanks for the replies

Try using the IP address in the browser:

 

http://192.168.X.XXX

 

Since you are using dhcp, you should be able to get the IP address from your router.    I know it is a long shot but what the hey...

 

I don't think it would be of much use to buy a new thumb drive. I assume that you did a virgin install on the other Thumb drive.  By virgin, I mean that you unzipped the download file from LimeTech and copied the contents to that thumb drive.  And then ran the 'makebootable.bat' file. 

Hmm, tried some more things and turns out there was something wrong with the cable because when i changed that it magicaly began to work, then tried to change it back and stopped working. Just tried it to rule it out after reading it in another thread.

Still find it strange tough. But w/e, its working now and im a happy camper, everyone thanks for taking your time to help me:).

 

Now im off to move my data and installing addons.
