December 4, 201312 yr As the title says, new user, starting out with unRAID but the web gui will not start automatically (I have to invoke /boot/usr/sbin/emhttp &). Installed unMenu, but it will not autostart either (have to /boot/unmenu/uu after each boot). I believe it never gets to the point of running 'go'. Nothing configured yet, but I want to get this working so I can pull the graphics card and install a SAS controller in its place, I have a 1TB SAS drive that I wish to use as a parity drive. Tried reformatting and reinstalling, still not working.

December 4, 201312 yr I understand you want to have a GUI running on the server on the attached screen? You can't access the GUI that way! You can access the GUI only by browsing from another computer! Type the name of your server in the url or use its IP.
December 4, 201312 yr Author Sorry I wasn't clear.... I am on another machine using a browser to "//tower" or "//tower:8080". I added tower to the hosts file on the other machine. I wasn't aware you could use the unRaid box to open a browser window. I just want to be able to manage unRaid without a 'head', and I'm not sure why I can't access it after a boot (unless I start it manually). Larry
December 4, 201312 yr I wasn't aware you could use the unRaid box to open a browser window. True, you can't. What I tried to tell you. You're doing it right by accessing it from another machine. Is your LAN OK? Router ping-able from the unRAID? Did you configure the NIC? Edit: OK, checked your log. You get an IP from your DHCP. I can't access it after a boot (unless I start it manually) You mean after u start it manually the GUI is accessible?
December 4, 201312 yr Author I can't access it after a boot (unless I start it manually) You mean after u start it manually the GUI is accessible? Yes, that's correct. If I start it manually, I can access it from a remote machine. After a reboot, back to square one. I can ping it and it can ping anyone on my network. Should I try an older version? I assumed I could just use the latest in the downloads section. larry
December 4, 201312 yr Just compared your logfile and found that your go file is not called. In my log it looks like: logger: Starting go script Did you manually edit the go file? The probably fastest way is to prepare the Stick from scratch. Just use the 5.0 final or if you need the newes features go for the 5.0.3
December 4, 201312 yr Author Just compared your logfile and found that your go file is not called. In my log it looks like: logger: Starting go script Did you manually edit the go file? The probably fastest way is to prepare the Stick from scratch. Just use the 5.0 final or if you need the newes features go for the 5.0.3 I can't get it to work even before I edit the go file... And I don't see anything in the downloads section that says 'final'. I did notice the 4.7 version is much larger that the 5.0X files. (5.0 = 35Mb, 4.7 = 52 Mb). Are the 5.0x versions for upgrade only? Trying 4.7 now... And thanks for your help so far! Larry
December 4, 201312 yr Author Fixed...... The problem was operator error. Reseated the operator and all is well... The installation instructions say to 'drag the contents of the zip to the flash drive'. If you do this with Winzip classic, it will not create the directory structure (you need a dir called config). I extracted it correctly to the flash drive and it boots with the web gui enabled. Thanks again for the help, and sorry to be a bother. Larry
December 5, 201312 yr NP, you're welcome. Glad you got it working in the end. 5.0 is the latest final. 5.0.x are patch releases - also safe to go with Tend to say, everything that's not -rc is a final.

Glad you got it working in the end. 5.0 is the latest final. 5.0.x are patch releases - also safe to go with Tend to say, everything that's not -rc is a final. 5.0 is not really final. You want the latest release, 5.0.3 currently, unless you enjoy things that do not work as expected.
