Web interface dying with 503 - Service Not Available. Logs

[markhsa]

Not sure what has happened.
8.0.4p1 64. Have rebooted.
Web interface simply gets: 503 - Service Not Available

Logs only show:

Any idea what the matter could be?

This was working fine, so not sure what happened.

How much memory do you have? Anything suspicious before on that log?

To restart webinterface use:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/django restart

 

[markhsa]

I have 16 gigs RAM.

Here is what I get when I try to start like that:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/django restart
cat: /var/run/django.pid: No such file or directory
usage: kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
kill -l [exit_status]
kill -signal_name pid ...
kill -signal_number pid ...
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

I did install transmission-daemon and then remove it.
I must have messed something up in the process. Can anyone assistn with this to see if I removed a package or something perhaps?

 

[William Grzybowski]

Well, you screwed it by installing transmission on root...
Easier to copy/save /data/freenas-v1.db, reinstall and upload config...

 

[markhsa]

Is there another way to fix this? What did installing it to root change?

Thanks for the assistance.

 

[markhsa]

I have about 13 TB of data on this so and pretty nervous about getting this fixed obviously.

 

[William Grzybowski]

The python version were overwrited...
Don't worry, FreeNAS is completely dettached from storage data, you can safely reinstall on usb disk and reimport config.

 

[markhsa]

Is there a way to fix this? Looks like I borked python maybe?
"No module named django.core.management"

 

[William Grzybowski]

Thats what I just told you.....

 

[markhsa]

Right. I mean anyway to repair the existing install? pkg_add some python perhaps? Any other thoughts on avoiding a re-install and DB import of the config.
Hoping to repair this.

Thanks for the help

 

[William Grzybowski]

No, nothing that is worth the trouble.

 

[markhsa]

I am remote on this machine via ssh, and it is chalenging to get physical access ( long drive ) so thats why I am hoping to do this.
Any advice on what to try would really help

 

[markhsa]

I just did a python install but that did not fix:

kg_add -r python
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/Latest/python.tbz... Done.
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/All/python26-2.6.6.tbz... Done.

====
Note that some of the standard modules are provided as separate
ports since they require extra dependencies:

bsddb databases/py-bsddb
gdbm databases/py-gdbm
sqlite3 databases/py-sqlite3
tkinter x11-toolkits/py-tkinter

Install them as needed.

FreeNAS uses python 2.7, pkg_add install 2.6

 

[markhsa]

Is there a way to get 2.7?

 

[markhsa]

I am installing 2.7 now:
pkg_add -v -r python27

Do you think this will fix or do you have other ideas?

 

[markhsa]

pkg_add -v -r python27 fixed it BTW.
Thanks for the help
