No webGUI, only "Welcome to nginx!"

[csh8428]

I'm a complete noob at this, so I probably screwed something up. I installed FreeNAS v 8.3 using the instructions Using 7-Zip and Win32DiskImager on Windows

I plugged the USB drive into a brand new MSI-H61-P23 mobo build. Booted it up and watched all of the bootup info scroll by and got to the console setup screen where it gives a bunch of choices where to go and also got the message "You may try the following URLs to access the web user interface http://192.168.1.104

When I put that IP address in my webbrowser all I get is the test message "Welcome to nginx!"

Can anyone give any advice on anything I did wrong?

Thanks,

It's a known problem, no fix yet.

If you search for some keywords you'll find another thread where someone posted a temporary fix. It worked for 1 or 2 people in that thread as well as my text box.

Can I just use an older version?

If you haven't upgraded your ZFS pool(s) to v28, yes.

Its a brand new NAS. Never had anything mounted to it.

I had the same thing happen on a brand new build. It went away as soon as I assigned a static IP.

I get this if I try to access wirelessly from my laptop but have no problem accessing through my wired desktop

I had this same problem when upgrading from 8.0 to 8.3 with a full install. I was using ISO burner at the time, I then tried Win 7 disc imager. The install was without issue, FreeNas is up and running with no lost data. Hope this info helps....

Seems to be a common problem with different fixes or workarounds. I have fixed(?) it by trial and error after trying all the suggestions I could find here and elsewhere.
Connect your monitor to the FreeNas. Start and wait until the eleven options are on screen. I chose option seven, (went through this three times). I then found that the "nginx" problem had gone. I have gone through a thorough testing with this including turning off FreeNAS by pulling out the mains plug and each time, upon reboot, the problem didn't reappear. Hope this helps some.
