No webGUI

markchen

Attempted to access WebGUI but was unsuccessful. I tried to ssh and failed. Was able to login via console. Did a Restart webConfigurator but nothing happened. Performed a reboot (normal and with r option). GUI still not available. I am able to ping the WAN connection from Frontier. But unable to ping my router. But I am able to use the internet. It looks like its functioning to a certain extent.

Any ideas?

Several.

But first : this happened just like that ?
If it was a config change, the console offers yo to get back the last 100 config changes.
You can use one of them to undo the last, before last, etc change.

When you restart a service, like the "GUI" you actually restart a web server and the PHP interpreter. So, when you 'do something', check also if it 'has been done'.

You need the "tail" command.

Have a look here :

ls -al /var/log

Now, restart the web server using the console, and then

tail -f /var/log/nginx.log

You saw any 'nginx' (the name of the web server) errors ?

Btw : you're sure you didn't change the web server port ?
A firewall rule that blocks GUI access ?
Same for the SSH access.

tail -f /var/log/system.log

See also what the 'less' command can do for you, and the 'cat' command.

@gertjan Thank you for your reply. Between going to bed last night and now. The webgui suddenly is working. Very odd. I will look at the log and see what i can see.
