I feel dumb about this because several years ago when I hung out a lot in these forums I could help other people resolve such matters.
I've been running LMS 8.0.0 -- one of the nightlies from 1-2 months ago -- just fine on a Raspberry Pi under Max2play. Two days ago it had an abrupt shutdown when an electrician in the house started flipping circuit breakers randomly until he found the one he wanted. Since then LMS appears to start, but none of my SBs can see it and iPeng can't see it. If I point my browser to <LMS_ip>:9000 I get the message:
"This site can't be reached. 111.222.333.444 refused to connect. Try checking the connection [and] checking the proxy and firewall. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
On the other hand, the max2play web interface indicates that LMS is running, and if I login via Putty I see that the squeezeboxserver process is running, with the same pid that max2play reports. If I click max2play's button "Open Squeezebox Server Webadministration" I get the same "refused to connect" message as when I go manually to LMSip:9000 (no surprise there).
So:
- what is likely to be going on?
- where do I look in the logs to figure out what is going on?
As a final note, I cleverly set up a (almost) clone of my functioning LMS on another SD card installed in another RPi. Then, not so cleverly, I had the backup RPi plugged in (but powered down) on the same strip as the functioning RPi. It is now exhibiting the same behavior, so I'm wondering if it came on after one off/on of the breaker, and then shut down abnormally on the next off/on, corrupting the SD card in a manner similar to the corruption on the main RPi. That is, if file corruption is indeed the issue.
Thanks in advance for help with diagnosis and resolving.
