I just installed unRAID on my server. I recieved an IP etc from my router and I can ping/ssh to it. But when I want to use the webinterface on //tower I get a "You don't have permission to access / on this server. ". When I try the IP address, I get "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED "

 

I tried to create a network.cfg file, because for some reason it wasn't in my /boot/config/ folder, but when I restart my server that file always gets removed..

 

Someone who can help me with this? I tried every topic on the forum, but no result Maybe someone here has an idea what the problem might be.

If you have access to the console I would suggest trying the command

ls -l /boot

This should show the same files as you initially copied to the USB stick when you first prepared it.  If it does not then the probable cause was that it was not formatted as FAT32, or was not correctly labelled as "UNRAID".  This would result in it not being correctly mounted as /boot, and the command to start the web GUI not being run.  It would also explain why any changes you make are not persisting across a reboot as if the USB stick is not correctly mounted then /boot would be a location in RAM.

That was indeed the issue. I had used my SSD as the storage for unraid, but for some reason those files were deleted.

 

I did it again with an USB and everything works fine now.. I wonder what triggered the error on the SSD.

 

Thanks for the help!

I hope you understand that unRAID is designed to operate completely from that USB key.  As the system boots, it sets up a RAM disk where it creates an entire Linux operating system using the configuration files from the USB.  You use the GUI to update the configuration to configure your server to your specification. The GUI will update both those configuration files on the USB and on the RAM disk so that everything stays synchronized.  As an important piece of information, The entire system is designed to minimize the number of writes to the USB so as to prolong its life.  After the initial boot, The USB is not used until shutdown when it writes back a file that allows unRAID to determine if the previous shutdown was 'clean'. 

 

While you can jump through some hoops to make unRAID boot from a HD or and SSD, there is no real advantage to do that as the basic boot from the USB is typically about a minute and the rest of the install is done from the RAM disk... And you can't get much faster than that.

Not sure what you mean by that.  UnRAID is designed to boot from a USB and store its configuration there.  When running most of it is in RAM so that USB performance is not a limiting factor after the boot completes.

USB is how unRAID is designed to run, so anything else would be suspect.

Alright, thanks for the info. Seems like I read some wrong things

 

Everything is working fine now.
