Connecting to FreeNAS... GUI Broken

[robinasu]

Hi all, just attempted to upgrade to 11.3 for Plex. Everything was going well until the reboot. Accessing the IP from a browser returns:

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

I do not have a monitor or keyboard, so I'm hoping there is a way to kick FreeNAS and get it working.

Does anyone know why the GUI is now having issues after updating?

Have you waited long enough?

Without a remote access card, you will need a monitor and keyboard to access the console.

Hi Basil, I did wait a long time. I was afraid of that.. will borrow a monitor and keyboard.

Hey @robinasu,

What browser are you using ? Are you in incognito mode ? From a mobile device or a computer ? What OS ?

Try different browser, emptying your cache and things like that. The answer may well be there.

Good luck,

Hi Heracles, Mac OS, I did clear the caches on desktop Safari and Firefox browsers. No incognito mode.

Still broke? Have you tried both http and https? Otherwise, it is possible FreeNAS is set to redirect http to https, but the certificates aren't working. There is a way to overcome that via SSH or console but I don't remember what it is.
