SOLVED: Changed DHCP reservation...SSH will respond but no web interface?


Recommended Posts

I wanted change the IP of my server but I can't seem to get it to work.

 

The new IP responds to pings and I can SSH into the machine but the web interface doesn't work nor do any services that run on it like Emby.

 

If I change the reservation back to the old IP and reboot everything is fine.

 

It's starting to drive me crazy.

 

I have a Mellanon ConnectX-2 10Gb card in the system along with the onboard Intel NIC set up in a failover config with the 10Gb being NIC 1, the Intel NIC being NIC 2 and 3 and then the Mellanox bing NIC 4.  Only the first 2 NIC's have cables attached.

 

ETA: I've changed reservations on switches, other NAS devices, PC's, etc in the past and had no issues so I'm not sure what to look at. 

 

I do know that after changing the IP and rebooting the server is unable to connect to grab updates during the boot process.

With the original IP address allocated to the server, if you go to Setup -> Management Access and turn on the GUI help, then scroll down to Use SSL/TLS you'll be able to read an explanation of the options. I don't wish to mess up my working systems but I should think you need to do something like this:

  • Set Use SSL/TLS to No
  • Delete the old certificate from the config/ssl/certs folder on the flash drive
  • Change to the new IP address
  • Reboot
  • Access the GUI via http://<new IP address>
  • Set Use SSL/TLS to Auto to provision a new certificate
  • Wait for the DNS update to take place (30 seconds, or so)
  • Log out
  • Access the GUI via http://<new IP address> and check that it redirects to https://<long-hash>.unraid.net

As I said, I haven't tested this but the worst it can do is not work.

Presumably the <long-hash>.unraid.net FQDN still resolves to your original IP address. When you changed your IP address did you take any action to update the record on the unraid.net name server?

I didn't do anything to address this.  Didn't know I had to honestly as I'm not sure what it is for?

 

I'll give your suggestion above this a try and see what happens.

 

Thanks!

This worked great...thank you very much!!!!!!

 

The only thing I had to do differently is I had to set "Use SSL/TLS" to "Yes" rather than "Auto" as "Auto" didn't turn SSL back on.  I even rebooted it before trying "Yes" and "Auto" just never worked.

 

How do I add to your reputation as it has been driving me crazy for over 2 weeks that I couldn't change my IP?
