OMV 4 Gui connection timeouts

Hi all

I am absolutely desperate. I had a hard drive failure in October and spent a month getting everything back up and running. It was running well all November and December. A few days ago I ran a small update via the gui and since then every time I try to log into the web interface it is stuck trying to connect.

I have done the following:

1) checked status of all services related to OMV gui - all ok
2) Checked file system to see if drives filling up - all fine
3) Checked Raid status - fine
4) Increased timeouts in relevant files - more than 480s - this should be enough
5) Cleaned package caches etc
6) Ran OMV-firstaid and checked configuration files - all ok
7) Changed gui interface connection in Omv-firstaid to see if this would help - no difference

I am now totally lost. All services work, all docker packages work, everything works except the gui and I cannot change mount points without it.

Any help to get a working Gui would be great.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. I had also done this before but I had tried to restart php5 I think. Anyway, I ran the above commands and still a timeout error. I have also done a SMART check of all drives mounted (no errors). All drives are also mounted.

Any ideas?

Regarding the status of PHP7 service, there is always an error regarding "create file maildrop" saying permission is denied. I think I always had these email errors in my syslog and it never stopped me logging into the gui before.

Thanks. I may have cracked it. Despite always having these email errors I decided to see if this was causing the problem and I found this post.

Mail Problems / Postfix errors : "postfix/postdrop[2639]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/822547.2639: Permission denied"

I deleted the maildrop folder and recreated it (manually). The system did not create it for me again like in the post. I then changed the permissions with chmod to 0730 and changed the owner and group to postfix:postdrop using chown. I can now login to the GUI!!!!!

Thanks for responding so quickly. Really appreciate it.
