8.2.0-BETA3 nginx refuses connections-or doesn't start

[mmx]

My config is set to 0.0.0.0 for the listening interface for the web server, and for https. Nginx is refusing connections, although I verified that it is running.

When I kill the nginx process and restart it with /etc/rc.d/ix-nginx start the same behavior occurs.

When I kill the nginx process and restart it with #nginx then I can get the web interface loading properly.

I did upgrade from 8.0.3-RELEASE via GUI Upgrade. Let me know if that could cause problems. --MMX

Can you paste output of sockstat -4 on a clean startup?

And

# sqlite3 /data/freenas-v1.db "select * from system_settings"

Closing for timeout, feel free to reopen.

[mmx]

This started happening again. :(

Ok so nginx is not running...
Is this on happening right after a reboot? How much ram do you have?

Attach:

# dmesg -a

After a reboot, please.

[mmx]

after reboot the console message says:

You may try the following URLs to access the web user interface:
​https://10.2.2.11:80/

dmesg reports nginx fails to start as you can see in the attached file, but in fact the process is running:

[root@tank] ~# ps auxw | grep nginx
root        2703  0.0  0.1 27688  5784  ??  Is    1:20PM   0:00.00 nginx: master process /usr/local/sbin/nginx
www         2704  0.0  0.1 27688  6392  ??  I     1:20PM   0:00.01 nginx: worker process (nginx)
root        4310  0.0  0.0  8976  1412   0  S+    1:26PM   0:00.01 grep nginx
[root@tank] ~# 

In order to get it running I have to

1. killall nginx
2. /etc/rc.d/ix-nginx start (this creates the proper configuration file. If i don't do this the configuration file has the ssl certificate lines commented out
3. killall nginx (usually its not running at this point, but sometimes it is.
4. run "nginx" from command line.

I've also attached the nginx.conf file after a reboot:

I think something is corrupted in my configuration database. I did a clean install of 8.2.0-RELEASE on a new USB drive and swapped into the server, and then restored the config and the problem remained.

[mmx]

This problem went away when I upgraded to 8.3.0-RELEASE. Thanks.
