OK, so I have been wondering how to redirect my own domain name to the ReadyNAS box for a while and have been using a solution based on "http://[DYNDNS_ManagedByRouter]:8086/photos2" which has been working. Apart from the fact that my office blocks 8086, so I can't get access from there to show people.. I decided it made sense to change the Photos II settings so it ran on port 80 - clever, I thought, seeing as all web traffic works on 80. Photos II seemed happy with the arrangement and let me change the port but now I have a problem - I can't access the settings or albums in Photos II or even the Duo V2 dashboard..I realise the error I have made (80 is obviously reserved for the control panel stuff) but how do I change the Photos II port back to 8086 without starting the box from scratch? (There are lots of photos already shared on it and I've been through that twice already - it's very tedious and the whole box is surprisingly hard work for someone who's worked in IT for over 10 years!) Can I change it though MySQL or by SSH or something?Also, why on Earth would Photos II let me do such a thing?! Maybe I'll just stop using it until it actually feels like a finished, polished product :(TIA, James

I just grabbed a Pro2 and I will be attempting to recreate and see if there is an easy way to fix this for you.

Quick response, thanks, I look forward to hearing from you :)

What about trying OS reinstall as that leaves all data intact and only resets network settings and admin password to defaults.http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... _boot_menuEdit not sure if this will reset the port back to 8086 but worth a try as it only takes 5 minutes to do.

Upgrading it to 4.2.21 and then will proceed to work on the issue.

I did fix the issue.On the OS partition, there exists a configuration file for the photos./etc/frontview/apache/addons/READYNAS_PHOTOS_II.confIn there, I was able to modify the port number, save, and reboot the ReadyNAS. I was then able to access FrontView as well as the Photos.If you have SSH access, modify this file and change it from 80 back to 8086. It does appear 2 times. If you don't have access to SSH, we will need to put it into tech support mode and I'll fix it for you. Let me know via thread or PM that you've put your device into tech support mode. http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... _boot_menu

Well at least it as exposed a problem that can be fixed, maybe readysecure1985 can put that port list in the faq's section it would be useful for anyone wanting to know which ports not to use.

The port list I posted in the PM was a standard list of ports used by the ReadyNAS, specifically SMB, AFP, FTP, HTTP/s, RSYNC, NFS... basically any protocol you would be able to able from Standard File Protocols of Frontview.

I get the following result after trying to activate Photos II:

Diagnostic Results
close
OK: All connection tests from ReadyNAS Photos II to UPnP Router and photos.readynas.com site have passed.
OK: Hostname pk_photos is available.
Error: Fail to access Photos II (http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8086) from internet. (error=-2). If you disabled automatic configuration of UPnP router, please make sure port 8086 is forwarded to the NAS.
OK: Successfully found your public IP (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Anyone have ideas how to solve this?

Looks like it finds your ip address ok, so have you got upnp enabled on your router or forwarded port 8086 manualy ?

pmeum,

I have the exact same issue as you. The odd thing for me is I have been using Photos 2 for several months with no issue...worked great from the start...until I recently did a "reboot" on the NAS.

My router has upnp enabled..I've rebooted the router and also forwarded 8086 in my router to see if that would work....notta on any of that so far.

When I look at Frontview in the Installed Add-on's, my Photos 2 is not Enabled (grey'd out). When clicking on Manage ReadyNas Photos 2, I can't enter the "8086" port number in summary tab...won't take any input in that location. Status = Not Running . get the same exact diagnostics as you do.

How do I get my photos 2 to restart?

My NAS also does not show any Logs and never has that I know of.

I have close to 1500 photos on this and don't want to have to start from scratch.
