@scottalanmiller Nothing, I hadn't logged in since Tues/Weds.

Try restarting it I guess. Any errors?

I've tried twice. It restarts with no errors.

And when you go to the web page, it is just blank?

Site can't be reached.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Check your firewall, that suggests that it might be up.

I've checked in 3 different locations all w diff. firewalls, same result.

What is your base OS?

If it's Fedora, did you forget to firewall-cmd --permanent?

Base o/s is Fedora.
I'l check firewall, I doubt that's it. This thing has been working for the past month.

Anyone know how to rollback?

CloudKnight

@FATeknollogee I've had this happend once with auto updates on, I turned it off and have since updated manually.

FATeknollogee

C'mon, what fun is that...updating by hand :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

CloudKnight

@FATeknollogee very true, but I'm not in your position now lol

FATeknollogee

@StuartJordan You got me there!

FATeknollogee

Per @Ylian "Update to latest version to fix this. MeshCentral v0.3.3-b is current."

FATeknollogee

v0.3.3-b update fixed the problem.
Thanks to @dafyre @scottalanmiller for chiming in.

What do you do when you connect back & a bunch of your hosts (agents) are greyed out?
