Gui broken

[Ivolve]

Hi,
I just installed Freenas (so you know I'm a noob:), it seemed to work fine in the beginning but after some time the GUI just crashed. I get the error
An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check theerror log for details.

Faithfully yours, nginx.

I read somewhere in a bug report that it might be because of the log directory so I did this:

1. rm /var/log
2. mkdir /var/log
3. service nginx start

That was no problem but then I tried to restart django and got this in return:

django not running? (check /var/run/django.pid).

Any ideas on how to fix?

rm /var/log

Well, you certainly made the system unhappy, which is to be expected when you start removing system directories.

My suggestion is to reinstall and restore your previously saved config.

Also, you didn't indicate which version of FreeNAS you are running and the hardware specs of the system (which may be related to the original crash).

Isn't there any way to restore the original dir? The problem was there before so I think a reinstall is only usefull if I know how to prevent/solve the problem if it happens again.

I just installed so running the latest 9.3.1 on a athlon 5350 with 8 gb of RAM and just 2x2 TB mirrored.

Right now we don't know what the original problem was. Reinstall and when you can reproduce the problem, paste the contents of /var/log/messages (using Insert -> Code) so we can see what's up.

Thanks, I'll think about it. If i'll do it depends on the outcome of my other post
