Plugins won't start with DHCP (No JSON object could be decoded)

[shawly]

Hi,

I've installed FreeNAS 9.3 STABLE (all updates installed) on my server a few days ago, after migrating my data I wanted to install a few plugins, like BTSync and Emby and I just tried to install s3cmd which also doesn't work.
The icon of the plugin also doesn't appear in the installed tab, this is what it looks like for every plugin:


This is what appears in the log:
Emby with HTTPS enabled

Code:

Nov 17 15:21:06 Mond manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:627] An error occurred while unserializing from https://192.168.0.100/plugins/emby/1/_s/treemenu: No JSON object could be decoded
Nov 17 15:32:10 Mond manage.py: [plugins.utils:92] Couldn't retrieve https://192.168.0.100/plugins/emby/1/_s/status: No JSON object could be decoded

BTSync when I disabled HTTP

Code:

Nov 18 12:38:55 Mond manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:627] An error occurred while unserializing from http://192.168.0.100/plugins/btsync/1/_s/treemenu: No JSON object could be decoded
Nov 18 12:38:59 Mond manage.py: [plugins.utils:92] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.0.100/plugins/btsync/1/_s/status: No JSON object could be decoded

S3cmd also with HTTPS enabled again

Code:

Nov 19 13:08:57 Mond manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:627] An error occurred while unserializing from https://192.168.0.100/plugins/s3cmd/1/_s/treemenu: No JSON object could be decoded
Nov 19 13:09:03 Mond manage.py: [plugins.utils:92] Couldn't retrieve https://192.168.0.100/plugins/s3cmd/1/_s/status: No JSON object could be decoded

They all show the same error and it doesn't seem to be related to SSL, since it shows the same error for BTSync where I disabled HTTPS just to try if this causes the problem.

So after looking into the DHCP lease log of my router, I saw multiple DHCPOFFERS for the MAC of the plugin jail. Then I disabled DHCP for jails and set a manual range of IPs for jails and look at that, it works!

So it's an issue with DHCP, but why? I have two network interfaces, could these be the root of the problem? (one is connected to my router via DHCP which works fine and the other has a static IP for my ESXi storage network)
Cuz I'd prefer to use DHCP, since I want to set the IPs for my clients via my router.

Edit: Oh well, it seems I can't access the webinterface of emby or btsync...
I figured it out, wasn't a FreeNAS related problem. :)
