kanwisch Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Two problems really. I'll start with the instructions to put syslog into /boot as syslog.txt and chmod it worked fine on the server, but don't appear on the USB drive when I take it over to my Windows lappy. So I have no syslog to share; welcome how I might be able to deliver that for review. Second: Real problem is that the server comes up, gets an apparently un-conflicted IP address, is ping-able by my lappy but I can't get to the web console with "tower" or the actual IP address. Doesn't matter if I try port 80, 8080, or 443. It feels to me like port 80 isn't responding. When looking at the received and transmitted bits with ifconfig, they do go up each time I run a browser request over to the server. To make life a bit simpler, I plugged them into the same router to be sure I wasn't having some kind of hopping issue from router to router. Server is running in DHCP for now. Other potentially key bits. This is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board. It took me FOREVER to find out you have to have a FAT formatted USB drive just to get this board to recognize it. Additionally, I just replaced the memory (2GB) and tested it since the original(s) were toast. In one of my attempts I restarted samba and got no errors so I assumed the service was running fine. Welcome any advice for how to proceed. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 For the syslog, what instructions are you talking about? These? Quote Link to comment
kanwisch Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Basically, yes. Obviously I couldn't do the web gui ones. The copy command, followed by a chmod to all for read. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog.txt and then put the flash drive in your PC, syslog.txt should be a file at the root of your flash drive. There won't be any boot folder to look in because boot is just the mount point of the flash when it is in unRAID. Maybe you already understood this but just in case. Quote Link to comment
kanwisch Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 The Cruzer UNRAID USB drive remains in the server the entire time, from boot through shutdown. I follow usual shutdown procedure, plug into the Win 7 laptop and no syslog file anywhere on the device. That's what has got me puzzled. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Is there possibly a write protect switch on the flash drive that is preventing it from getting written to? What do you get with cat /var/log/syslog | grep "fat" Quote Link to comment
kanwisch Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 It was an older 256MB USB drive and seemed to work without issue. But your questions drove me to try out a larger drive (4GB) with a DOS MBR in FAT32 format. Tried it in the system with the 1805 BIOS (last published). It worked. So I reformatted and put on the unRAID image and now it ALL works. I can't fully explain why it didn't work when I originally tried it, but it didn't. The Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe does work with the FAT32 format and the 5.0.6 and I'm in good shape. Now on to learning all the rest. Thanks for the super-quick replies, trurl. Much appreciated.
