ReadyNAS Duo V1, unable to access Frontview following upgrade to 4.1.15
I have just upgraded to 4.1.15 (having been promted from the NAS box) and now Frontview is not available. I have tried an OS intall from the boot menu but no change, I assume it just reinstalls 4...
Do you have port forwarding setup? If so, someone might be trying to hack into your NAS.
You could do e.g.
# mkdir /tmp/tmp1235# cd /tmp/tmp1235
Copy the PHP add-on to that directory and extract the contents of it e.g. if it is called PHP.bin you could do
# dd if=PHP.bin skip=1 | tar -xv
# sh install.sh
Hopefully you are then able to access Frontview again. If not check what error you get. You may need to install other add-ons over the top of themselves or perhaps install a newer version of the PHP Sparc add-on if there is a newer version available.

I have the same problem. No All fiels in Firefox Frontview are empry. But I can access all my files in Exlporer.
I have a PHP add-on installed. Can I reinstall it by USB?
Hi mdgm,
Thats done the trick, reinstalled the php add-on and I can now access Frontview.
Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.
Hi IceniTribe,
Did you reinstall PHP the way mdgm wrote in his post
Great advice - that has resolved my problem.
I assume that many of us have installed that PHP addon and will run into the same problem.I did exactly what you've described - and it worked!
Many thanks - you've saved my day/night.
It did the trick for me as well.
Thank you all very well.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add a reference to this discussion (and the solution) to the release notes?
Well this is a 3rd party add-on. We don't tend to mention issues with those in the Release Notes for our firmware but I will pass your suggestion on. Ideally add-ons should be written so that if the firmware is updated access is not lost to the web admin page but with this one that would be difficult/impossible.
This is a problem that comes up with each firmware update. It just hasn't come up much on the community for a while as not many with PHP installed had been updating the firmware recently until 4.1.15 came out or if they did they already recalled this fix from previous relases.Well, that Addon (PHP) is really common - and the foundation for other Addons.
With previous firmware updates I've never had any issues (also using that Addon).
This was the very first time I've experiencing problems.
But with the kind help of the community (this forum) I was able to resolve it in short time.
Fortunately I've installed the SSH Addon...
