Cannot login to web gui

Hi Help,

My unit has been doing great for a few months now. Recently updated FTP to explicit FTP over TLS with a self-signed cert. I did just recently do large FTP jobs [last night]. Now this morning I cannot login to the web gui.

• It refreshes the page when I attempt, back to the login page, without any error. [only highlighting the user name field in red, that it requires a username on the new session]
• FTP server is still running and usable.
• Also still connected to the samba share.
• Incognito Chrome does not change the behavior.
• This symptom also persists thru a reboot.

Since I wasn't doing anything that would prompt a configuration backup I don't currently have one and therefore really hope I can avoid a re-install of the OS.

Thank you to those willing to help solve this with me!

Things I have tried and verified;

1. I can SSH to unit.

2. From SSH ran;

apt-get clean

rm /var/log/*gz

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [verified timezone is correct]

Fixed it; syslog filled up.

Quick and dirty what to do if you run into this.

Check log sizes

du -hsx /var/* | sort -rh | head -10

Get specific log size

ls -alh /var/log/

Delete largest log and reboot

rm -f *file*

Probably that is just the symptom, not the problem. You need to find out what is filling your syslog up and fix that, Otherwise it will happen again.

That is what I am looking into now! macom Any suggestions?

I do have FTP 'Transfer log' enabled. Trying to see if I can extra option it to make it minimal logging. I can only deduce right now that transferring the hundreds of files filled up the log.

Also totally separate, trying to find the best config backup solution. Best being smallest and repeatable/schedule-able. Granted I have a 60GB SSD for the OS now, I could upgrade to a 250 but still to what end. 46.5GB used for main OS partition is 56% full just running which I find is a lot of use.

Have a look inside the log files. If they became that big, there will be many very similar log entries. Then you need to find out what they are related to.

Transferring hundreds of files should not be the issue. There must be something else.

There is the backup-plugin from omv-extras which uses different methods to backup the root filesystem on demand or regularly, if you want

Thank you macom! I'll look into these. I did review the syslog just now and it is writing 2 lines for every single SMB transfer that I am doing now which fill up 800+ pages within seconds. I'll still need to look out for any errors but at the moment it just seems that the verbose logging is too high. I can't see a way to turn it down.
