Owncloud connection refused

[icsy7867]

I had freenas installed in a VM with the owncloud plugin installed. After installing the plugin I was able to launch owncloud and get all my SSL certs installed without a problem.

I recently installed Freenas onto a thumbdrive and I am running it directly on the hardware (The performance gains was HUGE!). I installed the owncloud plugin but when I try to access the web page it simply says "Connection Refused".

I SSH'd into the jail and tried turning off ipfw for testing but this did not change anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't figure out what is causing the website not to show up!

Nevermind. Spoke too soon.

The service simply was not started... Don't know why...

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24 start
Started the service.

echo 'apache24_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Made it work on reboot.

Did you turn on the plugin after you installed it? By default, plugins aren't turned on when they're installed. Don't ask me why. You shouldn't have to manually edit rc.conf.

 

[icsy7867]

yes, the plugin is set to "on". I even tried removing the jail and adding a new instance with the same behavior. not sure why!

is there an owncloud icon in the left panel of your freenas webui? if not it could be that there is a communication issue somewhere between freenas and the plugins middleware layer ( that starts and enables the service)

 

[icsy7867]

Do you mean under the plugins section? There is

yeah, on the left side. Strange, then starting/stopping the plugin should also enable apache_24 in the rc.conf

 

[icsy7867]

Oddly enough... this is happening with all of my plugins...

Just installed plex, and I checked rc.conf

Code:

plexmediaserver_enable="NO"

Of course changing this to "YES" fixed this issue right up. Not a big deal, but not sure why it's happening.

can I see a screenshot of you Plugins > Installed tab?

 

[icsy7867]

Sure thing!

I appreciate your quick responses on the matter!

So those 'service status' buttons don't work? but they do seem to show the status correctly

 

[icsy7867]

I never messed with them, they always appeared in the "ON" position I believe.

Basically on my first freenas install (inside of a vmware player), installing the owncloud plugin, and then going to the URL worked immediately. But this time around it does not appear to work until I manually start the services inside of the respective jails

Code:

sudo jexec (Jail #, from running jls) tcsh
service 'servicename' onestart

And then adding

Code:

servicename_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf

I don't believe the plugins ever started themselves. you're supposed to click those buttons which enables the service in rc.conf and starts it.

can you try the buttons?

 

[icsy7867]

They stop and start appropriately. Maybe I was just being silly, it was just a slightly different behavior from my first install.

yup sounds like you just didn't know how things start now. now you know =P
