This appears to be related to UEFI firmware associated with the hardware. Refer to More on booting: a practical Fedora UEFI guide, and don’t use “universal” USB stick writers for the solution.

Cannot access HDA via http://hda

Some have had problems accessing the HDA Dashboard after a new install.

  • If you are using a Windows client, check that it's getting the DHCP lease and DNS from the HDA. To do so, from Windows Client command line do:
ipconfig /all
If the IP address and/or DNS is not from the HDA, then that's your issue. Probably something related to your router settings.
  • Check that the web server is running on the HDA. From command line, do:
sudo systemctl status httpd
If it's not running, try to start it:
sudo systemctl start httpd
If there are errors, then recommend you do an OS update:
sudo dnf update
Reboot and then check things again.
