oradba69 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Guys(and any Gals) apologies. I have looked on the Wiki page and read through the FAQ but cant seem to find the answer. Have just installed unraid and it works a charm. I dont have it on a fixed ip(using dns) but after a power outage I have no idea how to get the console up again in my browser. I can see the drives on my mac under Tower but trying all //t(T)ower options in my browser dont work. Also not sure how to determine the ip address of the unraid server? Apologies for newbie questions. Quote Link to comment
jphipps Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just login to the console as root, and run "ifconfig -a" and it should list the interface with the ip address.. Quote Link to comment
DaleWilliams Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The IP can be found in the syslog. (not much of an answer for a newbie, but what can I say?) What I'd do is check your ROUTER...it knows the IP Address. If this came from a power outage, its possible the file system on your flash drive is corrupted. Remove the drive, put it into your mac and run Disk Utility on it to fix the file system. (Don't expect a lot of output...its very fast and terse for your flash drive). Try again. Those are the fast/simple things... If you get the IP address back, you can access unRAID in your browser by entering the IP address in the URL field.... And there's more possibilities to help. First, lets get your browser access working. Quote Link to comment

DaleWilliams Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just login to the console as root, and run "ifconfig -a" and it should list the interface with the ip address.. Assuming you have a monitor and keyboard on your server. otherwise, Terminal on your mac will let you use the command 'Telnet' to get to unRAID. ...but if 'TELNET tower' or 'TELNET tower.local' doesn't get you to unRAID, you'll either have to setup a keyboard/monitor to unRAID or try looking in the router tables. ...and this would explain why most of us setup a static IP address. ) Quote Link to comment
oradba69 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ahhh awesome, thanks all. Will plug in the screen again and check it out. Quote Link to comment
oradba69 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ended up that I needed a .local after the tower. Quote Link to comment
DaleWilliams Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Ended up that I needed a .local after the tower. You might google the web for a Mac System Preference Panel called 'HOSTS'. It lets you specifically match IP addresses against names. So my hosts file says 192.168.1.50 = tower.local and 192.168.1.50 = tower ...takes all the worry away when I type an address in the browser.
