DropboxManager - Found app [dropboxmanager] with bad config
I've already posted this on rnxtras and whocares has looked at it but I still haven't resolved the problem. If you have a login on his site the post is here: https://rnxtras.com/topic/installation-successful-but-bad-config
I'm going to replicate it here in the hopes that I can get it running again with the help of others:
Contents of /apps/dropboxmanager/https.conf which whocares wanted to see and according to him looks fine:
Since then I have tried uninstalling manually using apt-get --purge etc. to no avail. Every time I re-install I get the same result.
Here's an extract from install_debpkg.log
Hope someone can shed some light on why I can't get it to work.
I'm going to replicate it here in the hopes that I can get it running again with the help of others:
Hi,
I am installing v1.1.8 on Readynas 6.2.2 after having previously removed an older version before upgrading the OS.
First alert I get:
Application ‘dropboxmanager_1.1.8_amd64.deb’ is installed successfully.
Second alert I get:
Found app [dropboxmanager] with bad config. Disabling its configuration page.
When I try to launch it I get:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /apps/drobox/ was not found on this server.
I am assuming something went wrong with the uninstall of a previous version which might have left something behind somewhere?
Any help is appreciated.
Contents of /apps/dropboxmanager/https.conf which whocares wanted to see and according to him looks fine:
<IfDefine DROPBOX_LOADED>
WSGIScriptAlias /apps/dropbox /apps/dropboxmanager/web/dropbox/wsgi.$

WSGIProcessGroup dropboxmgr

Since then I have tried uninstalling manually using apt-get --purge etc. to no avail. Every time I re-install I get the same result.

- JophusLuminaryHey Guys.
I ran into the same problem when installing and running DropboxManager. Whocares solved it for me in my installation by:
SSH into your readynas
navigate tocd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
There should be one 000-fv-http and one 000-fv-https file. If there are any more (in my instance 001-fv-https2) this is causing issues. I think it is because I set a secondary port for remote access to https (so I didn't open the default port on my router when I want to administer the NAS remotely). This is speculation and I have no proof of it.
Anyway:mv /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-fv-https2 /tmp
then restart apache2systemctl restart apache2
This worked for me.- andy_vdgGuide

This worked for me.This didn't work for me unfortunately. For some reason the apache config is just not processed for the Dropbox app

Any reason you moved the link, instead of removing the link completely? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIf moving it doesn't help at all or creates new problems you can always move the file back and continue troubleshooting.

True. That makes sense, and figured it might have been the reason for the move instead of delete.
