What web server does OMV use and how can I check it's running when I SSH in?

robster · Jan 20th 2022

Hi all,

Is it apache? If I try :

`sudo service httpd status`

I get:

`Unit httpd.service could not be found.`

Thank you

It's nginx

Code

fred@omv:~$ sudo service nginx status

Brilliant, thank you.

I ran it and got this:

Unit nginx.service could not be found.

That's after a fresh install. Why would it not kick off and run do you think?

Thanks again

Something is terribly wrong there. Looks like the install is incomplete.

Haven't you been asking this in a different thread too?

I guess ylu want to know if it is listening on a specific port. Use sudo netstat -tulpen to see which process is listening on which port.

I found out my mistake. I was installing omv to the Block Storage, not the server. So the public ip was not seeing omv, only the debian server. I did again, installed to the server and the block storage is now a storage drive for omv. So it's working now

Zoki · Jan 20th 2022

I do not get "the block storage has an IP" thing. What kind of storage are you using? For OMV to work best, it should be a (virtual) device on the server, no remote volume.

robster · Jan 20th 2022

As OMV requires two (or more) hard drives, I had to create a VPS but I also needed a second drive. Vultr allows you to create another drive using Block Storage and link it to the VPS. So the VPS sees a literal other physical drive. It works well. However, I simply installed to the wrong drive.

Zoki · Jan 20th 2022

This is one reason, why the docs say: Unplug all devices except the boot disk.

robster · Jan 20th 2022

Yup I noted that. However, it's a virtual device but in the end it all worked out. Learning every step of the way. Thank you
