WebUI/iOS App "Restart" Button just shuts down the server

[Andy Brown]

Hi,
I've noticed that when I try to restart the server using the button in either the WebUI or the mobile app that it seems to just shut the server down without actually restarting it. This is on an install running on Windows 11.

Is there a way to fix this? It makes it a bit of a problem if trying to do a remote restart of the server because when it just shuts down I'm not at that computer to manually start it back up.

Thanks.

If you look in the server logs it should say why it failed to start back up.

I run my server on a Mac (Sequoia now) & it also has the same reaction. I forget when it became a new feature, 1 or 2 years ago, but has never worked for me. I thought maybe that It was just a Mac limitation.

Just attempted and restart and this is the error that the log gave:

Code:

Main: Error while starting server

Any way to fix it?
