Installing Freenas

[Adrian Ossowski]

I wonder if someone can help me with the following problem. After installing either version 8.3.1 or 8.3.1 p2 via extracting the .img file to a usb pen drive and try to access the web GUI I receive the following result.

Thank's to any help I may receive.

The problem is that you were using FreeNAS 9.x and downgrade to 8.x.

You need to clear your browser cache.

Hi William,

Thank you very much for your concern.
I thought that the caches on the browser could be the problem so I reseted Safari on 2 computers from my lan. After you mentioned it I did it again, also uninstalled safari and reinstalled (crazy) but still have the same problem. When I try on ie10 I´m able to view the GUI but I know there is a bug that doesn´t allow you to make changes or see expanded the left column with choices, and that is what´s happening. I need to be able to enter the GUI with Safari. Any thoughts?
Once again thank you for your help.
Regards

Adrian.

William,

I installed Firefox and now able to work on the web gui, but if you have any ideas on a workaround for Safari I´ll appreciate it very much.
Regards,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I had this exact problem after reverting back to 8.3.1 from 9.1.1 - even clearing the cache in Firefox didn't sort the problem.

To fix it, you need to run CCleaner and then restart Firefox - it should load up now without any problems.

Hope this helps
