Web Interface throws Error on almost every action

This morning (AU time) I installed OMV on my old HP-PROLIANT micro server. It has been running on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS, and includes the boot HDD plus a LVM array of mixed size HDDs.

After some initial trial and tribulations I eventually got to a clean install. I mainly had issues with the installer insisting on installing to the installation USB drive. I got past that eventually.

Once installed & rebooted, I logged into the web GUI from my work station, using the default username & password (admin and openmediavault)

At this point I tried to do some basic configuration. Every action that required a "Save" resulted in a not so helpful warning dialog "An error occurred".

I was unable to open logs ("An error occurred"), so shut down and explored the HDD on a docking station on my work station.

I am not finding any meaning full errors. There are a number of "error.log" files. including for nginx. These are all zero bytes.

Any tips on where I might start trouble shooting this?

OMV does not support Ubuntu, it is strictly tied to Debian:

OMV4 - Debian 9

OMV5 - Debian 10

OMV6 - Debian 11

As mentioned, I did a clean install of OVM, on a new SDD. There is no Ubuntu legacy on the hardware.

Try if clearing your browser cache solves it. Or use a browser in private mode.

Thanks. I'd already ran it with a clean cache.

Just tried again now using browser in private mode.No joy.

However, I'm using plain http, not hppts (SSL) access. Could that affect it?

No, that should work.

Run omv-salt stage run deploy. Maybe it gives an helpful error.

I'm assuming I need to SSH into the HP-Proliant, yes?

Please have a look into /var/log/nginx/openmediavault-webgui_error.log.

It's zero bytes.

This is looking like some kind of permission issue.
