How to set WebGUI IP after changing IP to static

[Artur Meinild]

Hi. We are sitting installing FreeNAS 8.0.1-RC1, and we changed the IP address from DHCP to static. The problem is the WebGUI IP does not bind to this new IP address, so we have to set the WebGUI IP manually, and we are not able to do this. We tried editing different lighttpd.conf files (after mounting as write) but the change does not persist after we reboot the machine. Can someone provide a step-by-step guide how to change the WebGUI IP manually so it saves the config? Thanks...

8.0.1-RC1 has an issue with what you are doing. Try the nightly build 7539, that should work for you.

Ok - we found a workaround, but nice to know the issue is resolved.

You can change the lighttpd listening IP in /usr/local/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
search for
server.bind = "X.X.X.X"
where x.x.x.x is your ip.
and then restart your lighttpd
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart
