[host: Lubuntu 16.04LTS][guest: Rockstor 3.8-14] :error during username/hostname creation

Hi all,

In order to discover and test this NAS appliance, I build a VM using VirtualBox 5.0.22 r108108 and when I do the first step in https://myIPaddress, I got this error message:Houston, we’ve had a problem.

Unknown internal error doing a POST to /setup_user

I have nothing in the traceback and nothing in /var/log/messages.

I also tried different combination of username and hostname without success.

I didn’t find any topic with this issue and that’s why I created this topic.

So could I have some help to check why I’m getting this error or at least tell me where I can find the logs for this error message.

Thanks

Hi @BENKHESA1 samir and welcome to Rockstor Community.

Can you provide more infos about conf and steps for this VM??

Hi Samir, i supposed you’ve already tried to access it again (without success), so we need to grab some logs:
Log via ssh to rockstor and get rockstor.log under /opt/rockstor/var/log : looking into Rockstor logs probably we can solve it

@BENKHESA1 and @Flyer Just a quick thought but on first boot and login maybe there is a greater memory pressure.

From the specs given the Rockstor instance has only 1.2 GB of RAM but the Quick start docs under Minimum system requirements state 2GB as a minimum for RAM.

This might simply be an out of memory thing and a quick re-install using 2GB or more RAM for the Rockstor instance might be all that is needed. Got to be worth a try I’d say.
