Hello,

I recently setup a VM to demo FreeNAS 9.1.1 64-bit and I have had times where the console stops responding and I have to reboot from the freenas menu or even reset the VM. I suspect this all related to the virtual setup I have going (light on memory based of info from Virtual sticky post) so I understand I may have unexpected behavior.

At the moment, I have rebooted the system and Plex is back, CIFS is back, ping is responding etc... but my WebGUI won't load. Digging around the forums and google, I can't seem to find the daemon that runs this. I thought it may be lighttpd but going through the /etc/rc.d/init.d I don't see anything for a web service. Instead of rebooting to get the WebGUI back, I was wondering what process should I check for to confirm it is running or possibly restart?

On a side note, the Console Setup menu says I can connect on https//:192.168.1.3:80. I don't know why it would say to connect securely to port 80, maybe just a typo in the menu? I have connected both http and https previously.

Thank you

FreeNAS uses nginx and django, you should be able to restart the web gui with:
Code:
service nginx restart
service django restart


Https should be running on port 443 indeed.

That didn't seem to help so I ended up just rebooting FreeNAS. Now it doesn't have :80 on the end of the URL it says to use, so I have to wonder if something didn't bind to the right port. Either way, thank you.
