Readynas Pro 2
I have a Readynas Pro 2 which I did an upgrade on but now I cannot access the admin web page. The shares are still accessibly and I can ssh to it. Raidar connects and shows firmware 6.8.0. but apache...
After much hunting I find a post which looks like the same as I have:
I get to step 5 but "apt-get install aptitude" returns lots of warnings of missing dependencies so I stop there.
/usr/lib/apache2/mpm-worker is empty but looks like it should the apache2 executable.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what my next move should be please?
Does https://nas-ip-address/fwbroker respond? Use the real IP address of the NAS of course.
BTW, there's no point in trying Netgear support, since your configuration (OS 6 on a legacy NAS) isn't supported.
- Hi Stephen, I get no response from https://ip-address/fwbroker.What would be the best way to copy all the data to an external USB drive? I think I will try to make a backup then do a factory reset and see if that will get me somewhere.

A factory reset is brute-force, but that will fix it.
I did a OS reinstall which fixed the problem without loosing any data or configuration. The only thing that changed was the admin password reverted back to the default. I'd call that a good result and I'm happy.
