Connection refused to administration page

Connection refused to administration page

Hello,

I have a problem... I have updated my NAS from 6.10.3 to 6.10.4 and since the update, the administration page doesn't work and I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I have tried two computers and three browsers and I get always the same, so the issue is not on the browser side. Also the Plex application has the same problem... and actually it seems that it is not running at all.

SSH works, file sharing works, notifications work (I get the email of the reboot and external drives connected). 

Reboot doesn't solve the issue.

May I have some suggestion to try to understand where the problem is? I guess through SSH I should be able to see if the HTTP service is not running, if that is the problem.

Thanks

Yes, it looks like that Apache is indeed not running. What could I try?

Some further information. This is the log retrieved with journalctl -xe from the boot:

Re: Connection refused to administration page

Maybe enter

 # netstat -plan | grep :443

and see if something else is already listening on the port.

Re: Connection refused to administration page

Thanks StephenB, I was trying exactly the same after finding the description of the error but the instructions I was trying to follow were requiring "ss", which apparently is not available on OS6...

So yes, indeed, there is something:

 

root@NAS4-CASA-GP:~# netstat -plan | grep 443
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:14443           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4772/vpnserver

it's the domoticz that I have installed two months ago. Very odd, it never gave any problem, it's strange that this conflict has come out now. 

Ok I'll try to find how to change that port on domoticz then... thanks!!
