Cannot get into GUI

doshbass · ‎11-17-2007

Hi All, I just tried a firmware upgrade and it went nasty. I had backed everything up before I started, so was able to go back fine however..... I cannot get into the GUI through either HTTP or HTTPS. If I factory reset then it is fine, but as soon as I load my config it fails. It is not an interface config problem as I have enabled http and https. When I sniff on the internal interface I see the FG doing an imediate rst to my syn. I have also removed all trusted hosts and tried to reconfig teh admin port, whatever port I choose I get a RST back. If I choose a port that is not configured it does nothing. Any Idea what else could be causing it and why it would happen after a rebuild? Cheers

Sounds likke a buggered backup. Start off with a fresh config and paste sections of the backup inti the CLI one at a time. Maybe you' ll fiind the offending entries without too much hassle.

clear the admin-cert in the config. You are probably using a config with no cert in it. Regards, Eric

Bingo Eric, Without trying it, of course I forgot I put my own cert on it and after the format it would have been gone. Cheers

and problem gone, strange how it should affect HTTP as well as HTTPS

Not backing up certs is a known error in MR5 pre patch 3. Had me puzzled for an our after having to format a HA config and restoring the backup. Only console access works. Cheers, Eric
