[Solved] GUI disappears after upgrade to beta9

I suspect this is a 'my' issue, and not an 'unRAID' issue, since I've not seen anyone else report it.

When I tried restarting the server on beta8 (to install beta9) it took a long time to finally stop the array.  I just now realized that was probably due to my windows VM still running.

I was finally able to get it restarted, and can confirm it's running beta9 now.  However, any navigation in the GUI is really, really slow.  Like a minute to switch screens.  I checked the dockerMan plugin, and none of the dockers show the update status, so I tried to update them anyway, which worked last time.  it didn't work this time.  I then tried to just install one from the green plus button, and it failed (the second of the 3 things it does; can't remember which).

Anyway, not the GUI is totally gone.  It just gives me a failed to load message.  I've tried entering specific addresses media/Extensions and others, but it just fails altogether now.

Array is still up, dockers are still running, and I can navigate the folders just fine in windows, but I have no GUI.

Syslog attached.

I'm going back to bed, will check on this again in a few hours.

After a few hours, I checked the GUI from my phone, and it was working fine.  I tried to update a docker from my phone, and it went really, really slow, then failed.  Not the GUI isn't working on the phone, and is not working on the laptop either.

I tried to shutdown the server from putty, but it had no effect...

Broadcast message from root@media (pts/0) (Fri Sep 12 09:51:27 2014):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

Okay, after several minutes, it seems it is now shutting down.

so, it seems I can connect to the GUI from Internet Explorer, but still not from Firefox.  I've restarted the server, and restarted the laptop, still get this message in Firefox...

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

If I go to IE, it works instantly, and asks for my username and password, like it should, and like it always has in Firefox before beta9.

How to fix?

Have you tried clearing cookies in Firefox?

Have you tried clearing cookies in Firefox?

Normally, when I hold ctl and press refresh, that forces firefox to re-pull the page (ignores any cookies), but that was not working.  I did, just now, manually delete the 3 or 4 cookies for my server, and now its' working again.  Weird, but fixed.
