No Access to WebGUI After Update to 8.3.0 Beta 1...

[Dave]

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my NAS, I installed the 8.3.0 BETA 1 update and after the reboot, I cant get the GUI.
Everything else seems to be working correctly but the GUI cant be accessed on any of the IPs via HTTPS or HTTP...
Can someone point me in the direction of the log files, so I can get some kind of idea what's happening..


Kind Regards

Dave

From the shell proper (console menu 9, I believe), 'less /var/log/messages' will give you the error log, or 'tail /var/log/messages' to get the most recent entries in it.

Hmmm

location ~ /plugins/firefly/ {

}
location ~ /plugins/transmission/ {
fastcgi_pass :12346;
include fastcgi_params;
root /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64;
}

The problem seems to be with the plugins which crashed when I loaded transmission with 100Gb of torrents and I had to shoehorn the plugins from the nas to get the thing working again by deleting the plugins directory's.
This file seems to be generated every time the nas restarts, where do I need to edit the master file?

Kind Regards

The IP is taken away from plugins jail settings...

What IP is configured in Services->Plugins->Management->Settings?

 

[Dave]

Oh, I haven't got a clue what the settings are but I'm 99% sure I backed up the config file before I upgraded the firmware as I've been burnt before...
I'm pretty sure I tried to remove all traces of the plugin system, just not very well....

Kind Regards

Dave

 

[Dave]

Sorry, I should say that I cant access the GUI....

 

[William Grzybowski]

# sqlite3 /data/freenas-v1.db "select * from services_pluginsjail"

Can you upload your config file prior to upgrade?

 

[Dave]

Hi
I'm reluctant to upload the config file as just opening it via notepad will show my eMail Username/Password to a public forum, which is annoyingly stored unencrypted...
What is the correct method of viewing the backup file? and how do I ensure all passwords are encrypted before I upload..

Kind Regards

Dave

 

[William Grzybowski]

The .db is a sqlite3 file. You can download Sqlite Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/)

 

[Dave]

Ahhh
Very good little tool!
http://www.TDRVending.com/freenas -- The forum only allows upto 20 odd kilobytes attachments so I'll put it on my WebServer..

Try this:

#sqlite3 /data/freenas-v1.db "delete from plugins_plugins"

Then reboot

 

[Dave]

Ahh, that done the trick!
Are the configuration files generated from the information within the SQL database?

Kind Regards

Dave

 

[William Grzybowski]

Yes, they are.
