Hi guys having a problem that occurs intermittently for the past month or so.

 

Symptoms:

 

Navigating to my unraid URL: http://192.168.1.16/ works sometimes, and at other times, the page doesn't load. Just a white screen. F5 and Ctrl+F5 does nothing.

 

Then I will switch to IE to try and access it, and it will usually pop up the password dialog box (note chrome doesn't ask because I've already logged in, so it's in cookies or w/e). When I authenticate in IE it usually loads into unraid web UI right away, seemingly no problem.

 

Not much happening in log:

Have you tried clearing the browser cache at the point where it fails and trying again?  The fact that a different browser works suggests that the unRAID end is fine.

If it don't work and using windows machine do this

 

"Windows Key" + R
CMD
ipconfig /flushdns

 

This behavior is known to happen with certain addons. What addons are you using?

Also is this unRAID 6 or 5 we are talking about?

Unraid 6 Beta 6,

 

Adblock Plus

Popout for Youtube

Pushbullet

 

Even in another browser I have to try multiple times before it usually goes through. Almost like I have to "kick-start" it.

 

I also have an Arch VM running.

 

Flushdns did not work.

 

Clearing browser cache seems to get me to the auth screen after which I hear a drive spin up and the page loads. Why is it that I am having to clear my cache every time?

I've experienced this before (I use Chrome) and I think I narrowed it down to large cookies.

 

Easy test, run any docker that generates large cookies (say LazyLibrarian) and access it in your browser, then try to access the unraid interface. You'll find those "input line too long" errors in syslog. Clear your cookies, access the unraid interface again, and it magically works.

Funny I have the same problem on 6.beta but only within unmenu - unraid proper works fine.

I have to reload unmenu links a number of times before they actually work. I tried Chrome and Firefox. I wonder if this could be cookie related.

I could be wrong, but I don't think unmenu sets or reads cookies. It's not even really a webserver, it's just a very clever set of awk scripts masquerading as a webserver. It's amazing what Joe L. has been able to do with it.
