I've been trying to get Unmenu to work for me for probably 2 weeks. I've googled "unmenu" problems and have read practically everything that comes back to this forum. Most people are able to install UnMenu, see it working, and then it stops for some reason. For me, the folders and files install onto my boot drive but never loads.  I had issues with my home network, and had to eliminate a double-nat problem.  I'm not sure if that would affect UnMenu.

When I access unRaid through my web browser I need  to go to "10.0.0.37/main", or just "tower".... //tower:8080 will not work.

I installed UnMenu per instructions at https://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu.  The folders and files download and install, but after rebooting many times, reinstalling several times, it still doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brent.

 

 

Post the contents of your go file.

I hope this is what you need, thanks!

syslog.txt

No, that's the syslog. The go file is at /boot/config/go

 

The go file is where unMenu gets started.

Oops! I'm such a newbie, but learning to love UnRaid. 

 

Here is my go file,

Thanks.

The go file looks OK. Your syslog shows unMenu starting, and then a couple of attempts to start it much later which didn't succeed probably because it was already running.

 

I see you have Control Panel and a lot of plugins installed. Are any of your plugins also using port 8080? I think this is the default port for SABnzbd. I don't know if Control Panel fixes this automatically or not.

I had previously had removed all plugins, and started from scratch.  Then I installed UnMenu by itself, and it still did not work. I installed Control Panel, and installed 5 plugins from there (AirVideo, Plex ,XBMC, Dropbox and MySql). Everything else that shows on Control Panel is not installed. SABnzbd is not installed. I've used the cmd netstat -anb, and nothing shows up using the port 8080.

I hate to give up on UnMenu, its given such high praises that it seems it should almost be integrated with UnRaid.

 

In the past, it has sometimes been a firewall blocking the port.

 

do you have a firewall enabled on your PC?

I do have Windows firewall up,  so I added a rule to let port 8080 through....still no go.

Shouldn't UnRaid operate independently without my PC on?

do not confuse unRAID with unMENU. 

 

unRAID is a network storage appliance built on top of a Slackware version of linux.

unMENU is a add-on collection of "awk" and "shell" scripts that pretend to be a web-server. (and they pretend pretty well at that)

 

Perhaps you best explain EXACTLY how you installed unMENU.  And how you started it running. 

What do you see when you type:

ls -l /boot/unmenu

Hi Joe, I really appreciate your help. 

 

I followed the instructions from https://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/ 

First, from my PC I created a 'unmenu' folder on my boot disk, and then unzipped and moved the unmenu_install file to that folder. From the Unraid server, I entered cd /boot/unmenu, and from the the /unmenu folder I entered "unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu". After that I typed unmenu_install -c.  From there I typed /boot/unmenu/uu.  I rebooted the Unraid and did not see the UnMenu from my pc, so I entered cd /boot/unmenu , ./uu from the Unraid. Rebooted, and still I didn't see Unmenu from my PC.

Since then, I've researched this problem and have tried removing all of my plugins, and started the process over again.  Today I used PuTTY and then copied pasted your suggested command (so that I could it correct the first time).

After entering that I received about 40 or more lines of like :-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  41976 2013-11-07 22:43 07-unmenu-mymain.awk*, etc.  Then it brought me back to the prompt root@tower:~#.

Rebooted UnRaid, no  changes.

Also, I tried this

 

Tower login: root

Linux 3.9.6p-unRAID.

root@Tower:~# lsof -i:8080

COMMAND  PID USER  FD  TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

awk    15503 root    3u  IPv4  30333      0t0  TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)

root@Tower:~#

Well, I got UnMenu working! I'm not sure if what I did helped out, but after weeks of trying everything else....its finally working.

 

I went to the Utilities, New Permissions and noticed what it said "This is a one-time action to be taken after upgrading from a pre-5.0 unRAID server release to version 5.0...."

I recently upgraded from a pre-5.0 unRaid, so I figured this couldn't hurt.  I removed unMenu, checked the box and after 5-1/2 hours the process was done. I reinstalled unMenu, and went to //tower:8080 - and now its working!
