9.3 M4 GUI problem

[Ismael Duarte]

Hi All,
I'm giving a try to 9.3
Install went good, no problems.
After login in GUI I've uploaded my last and working config from 9.2.1.7.
After that, everything is working except GUI, Just say Page does not exist ..
IP is correct. I think there's something wrong between https and http (tried both several times) but in old config I had https, and now Freenas tell me to connect to http.
Appreciate some help, something that I can type by ssh

Thank you!

Well, it's not even a beta... so not surprisingly it doesn't work "well". There's very likely to be many problems. Builds as early as what you and I are talking about aren't really meant for wide consumption. They may or may not work, have serious bugs in them, etc.

More details. Changing between http and https I was able to log in. After that I receive this
Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

More information is available with DEBUG=True.

I would really like to try this.

Hi Ismael,

I have the same problem on 9.3-M3, which I needed to try to get my Emulex cards working.

Now I have a hosed system :-( Price we pay for being "bleeding-edge"!

If you do get any pointers to restarting it then please let me know.

Well, I was able to recover because I've made a backup before upgrade.
SO,
I went back to 9.2.1.7
Disabled HTTPS, only HTTP
Saved configuration
Installed 9.3
Upload configuration without https
and ... is working

Maybe you can give it a try.

 

[Mark Brookfield]

Yeah that's not really an option for me.

I think I will flatten it and reinstall. Before I starting messing around with SSL I'll make sure I backup my config.

I downloaded 9.3-M4 and performed a console upgrade.

It worked perfectly and now I have a working installation again.

Something is up with the current nightly build as of today...

Tried FreeNAS-9.3-M4-44c644f-x64.GUI_Upgrade.txz (Nightly Build from 09/10/2014

Upgraded from 9.2.1.8 had a major failure. I was able to recover to the previous version. Upon reboot during the upgrade the system was not happy.

Seeing things like:
/trampoline.rc: /bin/sh: not found
tar: Error opening archive : Failed to open '/mnt/gui-packages.tar'
FAILED PACKAGE EXTRACTION

Well, 9.3 is alpha software. So it's likely to be very broken at any given time. :P

 

[Ellusionist]

Is it typical that you would not file a bug to note this issue within the nightly build? Otherwise this issue would carry forward until noticed, right?

 

[cyberjock]

You can certainly file a bug on nightly builds. They are there to play with and test. The nightlies are how the developers test their freshly written code to see if it works well (or not).

They are, quite literally, bleeding edge. Not surprisingly, you'll bleed more often than not. I'm not even running it on my test system yet. I know what Alpha means, and I know I don't need to dive into that mess just yet. Once it hits beta I *might* start using it. It really depends on how "finished" the beta is.

Cyberjock dead on here.

9.3 is still alpha and going to be buggy and maybe dangerously so.
If you really need to try it be sure to backup..backup ..backup. (be paranoid be cause something tends to hit the fan with alpha builds)

Frankly though why bother 9.3 beta nearly done with just a few issues left to iron out so waiting a week or two seems the smarter course.

The updater also went through some pain which is largely (but not 100%) behind us now. It will be sorted out fully before we go 9.3-BETA since users will need to be able to update properly to 9.3-RELEASE from there. The HTTPS issue is known and being worked on: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/6351
