Flint 2 web UI connection refused

Technical Support for Routers
1

Hello

I had to reboot my router, which I did through the web UI, and afterwards I couldn't access the web UI anymore, from two different PCs using two different browsers (chrome and firefox). Reading another post on this forum, I successfully ssh'd in and ran ps | grep nginx and curl -v 127.0.0.1:

10917 root      1232 S    grep nginx
root@GL-MT6000:~# curl -v 127.0.0.1
* Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80 after 0 ms: Connection refused
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80 after 0 ms: Connection refused

So I think my nginx is borked for some reason, any advice on how to restart/fix this? Thanks in advance!

If it's the nginx that's not starting:
/etc/init.d/nginx start

3

That did not work, unfortunately. Is there any other reason the connection would be refused?

Depends on what is broken.

Try "logread" to get your logs.

Here's what I get from logread:

interspersed between a whole bunch of Fri Mar 28 17:27:59 2025 daemon.err eco[26474]: call wifi.get_config fail: connect "127.0.0.1 80" fail: Connection refused with just the number after "eco" changing. I'm guessing the relevant line is the "nginx in a crash loop" line, could I be missing packages or something?

Did you run install package updates by chance?

7

Nope, just rebooted from the webUI after my wifi shut down. Should I?

8

Also, what is this "eco" daemon, I can't find anything in the docs about it?

9

Maybe another power down. Wait 10 minutes. Try again.

Consider reset button to restore if you are able to get backup config off or redo it all again.

Yeah, I'll probably just do that tonight.
