Server pure link not working

General
1

I set up my start9 server pure exactly as the instructions stated. I bookmarked my link, checked about 20 times to make sure its all good, downloaded btc node and checked again and it was great. Today I went to my bookmark and now it says can not load page. It says DNS probe possible. The units powered on and looks fine but I have no way of knowing whats going on. Any help will be appreciated.

It’s for connecting a SATA drive. You can keep it for any future repurposing of your device, or throw it out if you’re an m.2 maxi.

I updated this post because I could not see an option to create a new one. Not sure if its my browser (Brave) but I also do not see an option to delete any posts.

Just wanted to update here. I had to reboot my router first but that did nothing. I then restarted the server and now its back up. My concern is the unit was still on when I could not load the page. It had a steady green light with a flashing amber which I assumed was good but nothing was happening. My concern is that I will have to do this from time to time and that should not be the case.

You have a .local that points to the IP address of the server. You reach it from your client device (laptop, phone, tablet), via the router. This means at any time you find it difficult to connect to the server, there’s a 33% chance there’s anything wrong with the server.

If this is something that you find happening, you’ll have to engage in troubleshooting of your home network to work out where to assign the blame. Remember that restarting your server… you’re forcing your router to update the IP address it assigns to the server, updating the routing tables between the router and everywhere else, meaning it might not be the server that was as fault in the first place.

When you can’t reach the server you’d be wise to check…

  1. can you still access it from the IP address?
  2. can you still access it from the .onion via Tor Browser?
  3. can you still access it from another device on your network?

If the answer to any of these is yes, your problem is with your router or client device. If no, you need to look at whether your server is turned on a working right, that it isn’t losing power at these times.
