My webinterface is unaccesible after upgrading tot version 4.20 and installing Cacti 1.8 from Netgear Readynas site. How can I restore the webinterface, in my case: https://192.168.1.150/admin. I tried OS reinstall via boot menu, but the firmware update seems to reinstall 4.20 and not 4.17. Pls help! I also uninstalled Cacti via command line, but still no webinterface, regards wim

I had similar problems with Cacti. My solution was to re-install the PHP addon, in fact I had to do it a couple of times to get FV back. (I also lost PHPMyAdmin, which needed a re-install as well.)

You could try an Apache restart via CLI, but for me that wasn't enough. I had to fiddle with a few things.

wvkreg do you have SSH access?

There are instructions for installing add-ons via SSH on the forum.

e.g. place a copy of the add-on .bin file (e.g. Ntop_1.0.bin, in your case you'd install the x86 PHP add-on) on the NAS e.g. in the root of the "backup" share or somewhere else you prefer.

cd /tmp
mkdir addone
cd addone
cp /backup/Ntop_1.0.bin ./
tar xvf Ntop_1.0.bin
tail -c `head -n 1 Ntop_1.0.bin |awk -Fsize= '{print $2}' | cut -d, -f 1` Ntop_1.0.bin |tar -xv
sh install.sh

Changing the working directory using the "cd" command is important as the install.sh script will remove the contents of the working directory at the end of the installation.
