I can't seem to get 5.0 plugins to work, and I don't see the problem.

I'm thinking I have a DNS issue since 'wget' would not resolve hosts,

and I had to copy the plg files from another machine.

 

Here's the relevant part at the end of the syslog taken from web admin option...

I've rebooted twice but no new options/tabs show up in http://tower/Main/

 

Does look like DNS was not available yet, but it could also be that the network was not up yet, I could not tell from this short excerpt.  Make sure a DNS server is configured in the Network settings.  And check the syslog for link up and other working network messages prior to this excerpt.

Sounds like your problem may be related to this one:

Thanks guys, problem solved.

 

It was indeed that the DNS settings were blank on the Settings --> Network tab

Copied them from the other unRaid server (working 4.7) and rebooted.

Now I have the proper web page when I go to it.

 

As well it explains why entering http://tower/ on my desktop PC browser would change to http://ip-address/

but now it's fine.

 

The second post seems to confirm the need for why I already grabbed anetwait.plg

although I'm not sure how relevant it is now.
