When you are logged into the CLI, you may find the logread command useful.

logread -l100 -f

The /etc/hosts file on the AP should have an entry for the controller. Yes this sounds redundant, but in our experience, this is a great way to ensure things along.

You must connect to the OpenWiFi controller using the FQDN. You will not be able to login if you connected via IP address.
