WebGUI IP Address Error Message

[JoeSchmuck]

During a clean install of 8.0.1-RC-1.amd (7508), After configuring the Network IP addresses and changing the browser to the new IP address, I went to change my timezone. When I clicked "Save" button I was greeted with the error message "Value u'192.168.1.51' is not a valid choice."

Needless to say my network IP address is 192.168.1.51. I did not fill in this field, it was filled in after the IP address was changed.

I decided rebooting the system was the next smart thing to do (no one said I was smart) and after rebooting the system I noticed the timezone had not been changed so I changed it again, this time when I click "Save", it all worked.

I believe the fix for this issue is, once the Network IP address has been changed, force a reboot of the FreeNAS server. Although I don't recall this being a problem in previous versions of FreeNAS I can't say for certain it was or wasn't.

Reporting as a minor error, plus you have the typo (the lone "u" before the IP address).

Something's storing the string as unicode, not a flat string object. This should be trivial to fix for this one-off item, but before we do that -- what locale are you using in your browser?

America/New? York is the timezone I selected.
