Can't log into web UI: "Connecting to TrueNAS ... Make sure the TrueNAS system is powered on and connected to the network"

[seanm]

I've never seen this before, but going to the web UI on TrueNAS 12.0-U2.1 has suddenly broken for me. I've tried from 3 different browsers, on two different computers, with a 'private window' and without, and it always just shows the message:

"Connecting to TrueNAS ... Make sure the TrueNAS system is powered on and connected to the network"

My ssh access still works. Is there a command I can kick the web UI with?

Thanks.

service middlewared restart; service nginx restart

I have the same issues in the gui I'm getting
Connecting to TrueNAS ... Make sure the TrueNAS system is powered on and connected to the network. this is the message on the console

whats the best course of action ? re install the OS ?

I have the same issue than @seanm as of right now. Everything works ssh, ftp, etc. except the webGUI.

Code:

service middlewared restart; service nginx restart

in the terminal via SSH retuning me this:

Code:

Stopping middlewared.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
##############################################################
MIDDLEWARED FAILED TO START, SYSTEM WILL NOT BEHAVE CORRECTLY!
##############################################################

What mean

Code:

MIDDLEWARED FAILED TO START, SYSTEM WILL NOT BEHAVE CORRECTLY!

The system is fully updated. It start doing so when I start "untaring" a big 1TB .tar archive 1 hours ago. The logs report the same error that I'd post above.

I will try not rebooting for now as things are ongoing.

Thanks in advance for some help,

Guillaume

I tried this and it worked with just "service middlewared restart"
and then I will be able to log in again but then after a few minutes it shows again and I have to do the same thing again for it to work do you know any solution for this
thanks,

@kaizo, your installation has become corrupted. Are you using a thumb drive? Those are no longer recommended. A small SSD is now recommended as the boot disk.

If you have a saved config from System->General, you can clean install to the SSD, and then upload your config to restore your system.

yeah I'm using a flash drive I will try with an SSD thanks
