SOLVED ImportError: No module named backends

[sdspieg]

I'm having a strange problem. After upgrading to 9.2.1.7, I've been getting this error (ImportError: No module named backends) that keeps repeating itself on the screen, alternating with some error message about my ada3 (which I thought I had offline). Some of my plugins (plex, transmission, etc.) are still working, others (subsonic, etc.) are not. I now also seem to have a new ip address (which I only found out by running an ip scannner), and when I try to get into the webgui, I get an error message ("an error occured") from nginx. I can still telnet and ftp into the server though.

Does anybody have any idea about how I could restore access to the webgui or fix the problem in any othetr way? Thanks!

Just looked into my nginx-error.log, and this is what I get. 192.168.1.14 and *18 are 2 windows-based pcs from which I try to access the freenas server .

Code:

Still trying to figure this out. I tried to start the django service using this command in ssh (based on http://blog.darioef.com/2013/02/freenas-page-you-are-looking-for-is.html)

Code:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/django start

But I get the same error messages I get on my console when I start up FreeNAS:

Code:

If anybody has any ideas, please do let me know...

I (after ftp'ing the /data folder from the FreeNAS system to my Windows PC's HDD) reflashed the usb-stick, used the freenas-v1.db (from my Windows PC's HDD) to restore the configuration and I now appear to be up and running. All jails are up and working perfectly. Sigh of relief.
