Trouble accessing server management utility

Featured Replies

I'm brand new to unRAID, so be gentle.  I just installed the latest release on a USB key and booted to it fine.  I got the login prompt and logged in as root, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

 

I tried accessing the web-based management utility with "//tower" and by what should be the server's ip, but neither works.  ifconfig returns nothing.

 

Any ideas?  Or can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

edit:  My motherboard is an MSI K9N Platinum.

Best bet is to capture and post a copy of your syslog.  Instructions are in the wiki here:

What did you get when you typed?

ifconfig eth0

 

What do you get when you type:

ethtool eth0

 

What do you see when you type

ls -l /boot

 

What do you see when you type

ls -l /dev/disk/by-label

 

 

I got the same problem with 4.5.4.  It seems to be a network problem and I don't know how to resolve it.  The syslog is attached.  I appreciate your helps.  Thanks.

I posted the solution to your issue in the other thread. 

 

4.5.4 now supports the on-board ethernet controller on your motherboard.  You apparently did not disable it in your BIOS, so it is being assigned as eth0, and it is the one used in 4.5.4.  The additional Intel ethernet controller is now eth1.    I'm guessing the on-board port was not supported in the older unRAID release.

 

Very likely everything will work just fine if you either move the LAN cable to the on-board port and not use the additional Intel LAN controller at all, or, disable the on-board port in your BIOS.

Joe, it works perfectly now.  I disabled the on-board LAN in the BIOS.  Thank you.  You are simply amazing.

I haven't been successful in getting a syslog yet, but I'm still trying.  When I use the "poweroff" command, my server doesn't actually poweroff.  It hangs at "INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel"

 

When I attempt to ping something, I get "connect: Network is unreachable."  The server doesn't show up in my DHCP list on my router either.  My motherboard has dual gigabit ports, but I've disabled one of them (and yes, I'm sure I have it plugged in to the one that's turned on).

Your flash drive was not mounted at /boot 

It was not mounted at /boot because you did not set the volume label to UNRAID.

If you had, you would have seen it in when you typed ls -l /dev/disk/by-label.

 

Because the flash rive was not mounted, the network configuration could not be set up and you did not get a network connection.

 

Put the flash drive in your PC, set the volume label to UNRAID (6 characters, all upper-case) and them move it back to the unRAID server and reboot.  It should all work then.  You do not need to re-format the drive, or re-load it, or run syslinux on it again, you just need to set the volume label to UNRAID

Well, don't I feel stupid.  Sorry for the bother; your help is much appreciated.
