DNS Server for ReadyNAS
Hi,
I installed the DNS Server for ReadyNAS and fired it up....I didn't have time to configure it so I shut it down and tried later. It would not allow me to enter it with a SQL DB connection error....I tried to uninstall it, and now it is in a "hung" state. It will not uninstall and the software does not show up in the Install apps tab (it thinks it is still installed). I tried to upload the file..but the installation failed.
Right now, when I try to uninstall it, I get the spinning wheel of death (Removing Application).
Also...the Admin page freezes and I have to close the TAB in Firefox to exit.
I'm running the latest 6.2.3 beta of the software.
Any suggestions?

- Probably some files was left and the uninstallation did not complete, have you tried OS reinstall (I would not recommend it though)
Also, check this thread:
https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopi ... 7&p=445463 - Hi, I don't want to dig a deeper hole. I agree, a config file or something is left over. I'm not exactly sure where to look or what to pull. I don't want to do a complete restoration from backup.
- This one probably requires an SSH/Telnet session to be fixed as you have to remove the apps manually. I suggest calling support and have them login to your unit using SSH/Telnet.
http://support.netgear.com/general/contact/#tab-call - Hi, Thanks for the help. Question - I SSH'd into the box and found the DNSServer directory under apps. Can I just toast it?
I deleted a config file and it didn't make a difference. I tried to delete a few directories rm dnsserver/ and get a message, it is a directory.
My Unix skills are limited...
Before I toast the box and have to do a reinstall, any advice would be great. I'm out of support so I don't think NetGear support will be much help without $$'s.
Thanks again - I Deleted the directory/files and the application "went away". It now shows up as able to be reinstalled.
Hi
I have the same problem. As I was not able to login for to do the configuration I decided to uninstall the DNS Server for ReadyNas, but the desinstallation brought the hang situation as described above. (Actually the DNS Server did work properly.)
What Directories/Files have to be deleted for to be able to reinstall the application?
Many thanks
- Hi, Sorry I did not see you reply the other day. I am not familiar with SSH either, were you able to reinstall and made it work after you have deleted the files on the directory?
