others on network unable to find OMV

  • Hello OMV forums!


    so, i went looking around of a home server solution and set up OMV on my VMWare to test it out and see if its the right thing for me before i go splashing the money for an actual box with real storage space.


    I am using VMWare Workstation to create a virtual machine and I am attempting to host OMV from it.
    So, setup is all good, no issues for me of any note. set up static IP with 192.168.10.200 and I can log in with my desktop outside of the VM and I have mapped it as a network drive and everything is going fine!


    but no one else in my house can see it... I dont know if this is an issue with VMWare or network or OMV or all three but maybe you guys have seen this issue before?


    i.e.
    I go to "My Computer" and "Network" and I can see OPENMEDIAVAULT.
    My brother goes to the same location but cannot see OPENMEDIAVAULT.

  • You have to setup the NIC correctly in your VM settings, otherwise the network is only available from your desktop client. Ensure this is setup correct.


    that was absolutely correct! i have a few more things to setup and test but this looks extremely promising as the way to go!
    an additional question: what matters most to increase data transfer speeds? a good NIC card? fast hdd's? cpu? what is the common bottleneck?


    EDIT: hasnt completely fixed the problem... i not cannot get into the webgui, I get the blue screen with "OpenMediaVault" logo in the bottom right but it just appears to load forever

  • Did you try clearing your cache, cookies, etc...???


    yes, the web app appears but the error message is:


    Zitat

    It works!This is the default web page for this server.
    The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.


    edit: I fixed this, apache2 was installed... so this issue has been fixed but I now get back to the blue screen with the openmediavault logo on the bottom left, nothing else.

  • What ddi you do with Apache??? You need to uninstall it or remove the run levels.


    ah, thats an easy answer... I was googling for results and it appears that the old omv used it.
    I attempted those commands but I got the following results:


    apt-get --purge remove apache2

    Zitat

    Package 'apache2' is not installed, so not removed
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded


    service apache2 stop

    Zitat

    stopping web server: apache2


    update-rc.d -f apache2 remove

    Zitat

    update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing


    it hasnt fixed the issue unfortunately
