Hey everyone I just got a 628 and got it tested and ram upgraded.  Popped in the drives from my 428 and working as expected.  However, when I try to turn services on/off. I get "invalid SS...

Did you change the hostname?

 

Try going into System >> Settings >> HTTPS >> and change the SSL Key Host value to match the hostname (host-name.local)

 

You might need to reboot afterwards - not sure.

No I can't do that because it tries to verify the host key before doing anything in settings. 

I need the command line stuff to fix this

    Try an OS reinstall from the boot menu.

     

    That will also

    • change the admin password back to password
    • reset the network connection to factory default (no bonding, DHCP)
    • disable volume quota (which can be turned back on in the volume settings wheel).

    It shouldn't hurt any data.

        I have moved whole drive sets to another NAS and not encountered this problem.  In fact, I have a set I routinely put in any new-to-me used NAS for check-out.  So, I'm wondering what's different about your set-up that causes this.

         

        But, as shown in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl, the certificates are:

             SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
             SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

        I would think that you can use openssl to create a new one, but I've never tried. 

         

        If you still have the 428, it might be a good idea to create a single-drive volume on it and move it (alone) to the 628 to see if it has the same issue and to test updating the SSL keys with openssl if it does, or maybe even if it doesn't.
