No Web UI on boot - Using Lexar JD Firefly 16 GB

[DragonParoxysm]

This has been an issue since I initially installed unRAID.

The title explains it all, the web server doesn't start when unRAID loads and I am using a Lexar JD Firefly as my boot USB.

 

I am mentioning the USB because I've done some research and noticed others ran into trouble while using a SanDisk USB.

 

I wanted to test with a different USB to see if the issue persists; is there an easy way to migrate the license from my current USB to a new one?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

There is an easy way to migrate your licence. See here. But before you do try your existing one in a different socket.

Tried all other USB sockets on server, still no Web UI.

Tried a different USB stick (didn't replace key, just copied data and booted on new one to see if Web UI would come up), still no Web UI.

 

I always have to launch it manually with "nohup /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &".

 

Another thing I noticed after awhile is I couldn't mount the unRAID NFS share if the Web UI wasn't running. So when I get a power outage, my services never come back up automatically because the Web UI doesn't start automatically and therefore my other servers and services can't access to share data because it can't be mounted.

 

Is there anything else I can try? I mean I could keep trying different USB sticks but I feel there should be an easier answer.

 

Is there an equivalent to "systemctl enable httpd" in unRAID?

If this is the problem, then the problem lies within the "go" file (config/go on the flash drive) -> that line is missing within it.  Post the contents of that file, or ideally your diagnostics

Hmm... I don't see this file.

 

I'll attach my diagnostics archive.

 

Thank you for the quick reply

Supposed to be there.

 

Create the file  config/go on the flash drive (any text editor will work.  Linux style line endings are not required).  Contents as follows:

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
