Linux software controller DB issue
Good afternoon team.
We had an incident with the MongoDB instance on our software controller and in the process of trying to resolve it has reset the controller back to the setup page when logging in.
Looking at the /opt/tplink/EAPController/data/db folder I believe the original WT files may still be present along side new ones however they are not being used by Mongo.
Can you advise how we can identify if this is the case and how we can restore those files?
Many thanks

Hi @Jamie_S
The original symptom was the GUI would load but just with a spinning green circle
>>So this is the issue?
You may have a look at the following guide:

@Vincent-TP That guide seems to relate to the GUI of the devices themselves rather than the Network controller.
Originally the network controller GUI would open with a spinning green circle. After making the changes mentioned in my last post it then went back to the original setup page that you first see when you setup a brand new controller.
Many thanks
