Can't access OwnCloud or Plex plugin web pages

[csjjpm]

Hi,
I have three JAILS. Each is on DHCP and picks up a unique address.
Virtualbox works fine and I can access its web page.
Both OwnCloud and Plex start, pick up a unique IP address but I cannot access their web pages.
I went with the default plugin values for the settings.

I am okay with linux, what should I look for in terminal?

Anyone any ideas.
thanks
Paul

What error do you get when you try to connect? Anything related in /var/log/messages in either the affected jail or the FreeNAS system?

Hi,
in FreeNAS I was able to 'nano' the messages file and got

Code:

BUT... the JAIL doesnt have nano, how can I list the messages file in the OwnCloud plugin?
thanks

Okay, got this from the OwnCloud messages file

Code:

I've listed processes running in the OwnCloud terminal and it is just:

PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
32243 0 SsJ 0:00.01 /bin/csh
32300 0 R+J 0:00.00 ps

I would expect there to be a httpd running

I've tried to manually configure IP4 and it won't save. It keeps switching to DHCP only. I untick the DHCP on IP4 and put all the values in and click SAVE and DHCP is still ticked.

Did you start the plugins from the Plugins>Installed tab?

FreeNAS is not linux

Code:

pkg install nano

 

[csjjpm]

Hi,
yes I installed the plugin 'owncloud_1'.
I gave up and deleted it and created a standard JAIL and followed DrKK's guide which has worked fine.
I might just do the same and setup Plex from a standard JAIL as the plugins are not very consistent.

I tried to install nano but got an error about 'unable to update repository local' which I put down to the networking issue

I know that you installed the plugin, I was wondering if you knew to start it. But it doesn't matter now, lol.

 

[csjjpm]

The plugin was already set to autostart, it was 'green' and I could ping the plugin IP from a console in Freenas and from a workstation on my network. I just couldnt access the web interface

it sound like you did start it then. what's strange is you had no processes running in your jail. there should have been a python process that controls the plugin, and the apache process (whenever you start the plugin)

glad you got it working either way.

Hi Joshua, I've discovered your instructions so I am going to attempt to do it that way.

I really want
http://owncloud.mydomain.com
along side my normal
www.mydomain.com
hopefully I can figure it out ;-)

where is www.mydomain.com hosted from? if it's not from the same nginx instance then you need something to split requests based on hostname somewhere. I personally do this with varnish running on my pfsense router.
