Hi all,
I have a VCSA 6.5u2 which was built from scratch (not upgraded). It functions fine in every way except for the management interface at port 5480. When I browse to the management interface I receive the tail end of the setup wizard with the close button. The close button does nothing nor does rebooting the server. I've also tried to force the URL to: https://my.domain.net.au:5480/#/login?locale=en but it just reverts to the installer complete page.
At the moment this isn't causing any issues but I don't want to have this in my way when I have an urgent production problem.
Any suggestions?
I've found the following in vami.log. The error regarding firewall.conf may be false as our other VCSA 6.5 doesn't have that file either.

Any suggestions?
I ran 'vami_config_net' in the hope it would rewrite some config. Rebooted a couple of times. Still not luck.
If this is in production and you fear interference later, open a support case and have them look into it. This sounds like a strange issue.
Do you see a file: software_update_state.conf under /etc/applmgmt/appliance/ ??
Odd issue, and this is just grasping at straws here but have you tried other web browsers or completely clearing cache/cookies? Maybe something is hanging on
