Hi Dan, I don't see a related reason why the web interface is not responding. If you have ssh or console access, a "ps" and "ss -an" should show if lighttpd and ports 80 and 443 are LISTEN'ed on. Of course if any of your /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ files got corrupted, then that could explain things.
A refresher on "APC UPS Monitoring & Shutdown" The apcupsd daemon is started if: 1) UPSTYPE and UPSCABLE rc.conf variables are defined. 2) The file /mnt/kd/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf exists. Both methods are supported via the Network tab in the web interface. In general #1 is all that is needed, which sets "NETSERVER on" and "NISIP 127.0.0.1" which allows the command line tool "apcaccess status" to access stats locally, which the Status tab uses. If, you want the AstLinux box to act as a server to other apcupsd clients, then do the following: $ mkdir /mnt/kd/apcupsd $ cp /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf /mnt/kd/apcupsd/ Edit "/mnt/kd/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf" line from "NISIP 127.0.0.1" to "NISIP 0.0.0.0" . Note this can be done via the web interface as soon as "/mnt/kd/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf" created. $ service apcupsd stop $ service apcupsd init --or-- "Restart UPS Daemon" via the web interface BTW: If memory serves me, there may be some other settings (timeouts or such) that may want to be tweaked if acting as a server, which is why we require the use of "/mnt/kd/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf" when acting as a server rather than simply creating another rc.conf variable for the NISIP option. Dan, if you think your HTTPS values got corrupted, a quick check with the following should help. $ grep '^HTTPS' /etc/rc.conf $ grep '^HTTPS' /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/*.conf Lonnie On Jun 3, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Dan Ryson wrote: > Hello All, > > I'm suddenly unable to access the AstLinux web interface.
