ReadyNAS OS 6.10.0
Just today updated to 6.10 and now I have no Apps available.
http and https are greyed out, all my applications for phpmyadmin etc no longer operate and I cannot remove them as ReadyNAS crashes and...
Thanks for your response
Its working fine as a file server - seems stable.
It crashes if I try to remove OR install a new app.
So basically won't work as an HTTP server (or HTTPS) both are greyed, apart from the admin page, and I can't install or remove Apps.
OK ...
Here's what I found after a few hours - (I am no expert at LINUX etc).
I used PuTTY to access the ReadyNAS and gain command line access. Then to and fro to the internet to learn how to check status, restart Apache etc. It became obvious that Apache was failing to start, so therefore I tried to start it using:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
but it failed everytime.
systemctl status apache2
reported a syntax error in the startup script (amongst other things!).
Using WinSCP I checked the scripts where it loaded the optional Apps. It appeared fine, but failed to load the Apps due to 'no cache space available'. This was surprising as there is plenty of disc space (1.3TB). It appeared one of the partitions was full. /dev/mb0 being the culprit where the cache files are held.
Again, back to google, and there are a couple of commands using apt-get to clean out unused image files in cache. I used these, but there was very little difference.
google led me to:
dh -h
command. this narrowed down the problem to /var/cache/clamav/*.tmp directories being the problem.
I read the new ClamAV antivirus in ReadyOS 6.10.0 will not run on RN100 device platform. I had about 50 directories of 155Mb each sitting around in cache, which was a waste of space. SO I TOOK THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND DELETED THEM!!
rm -f /var/cache/clamav/*.tmp
Nerve racking for an amateur!
Voila! Apache started, and all my Apps reappeared in ReadyNAS frontview.
HTTPS is now fine BUT .. HTTP is still not available.
I'm working on it but if anyone has any ideas - please advise.
Can you clarify what you mean when you say "http is not available"? Do you mean it is turned off in system->settings->services? Or something else?
Now that you've solved the full OS partition issue, I suggest trying an OS reinstall. That might clean up the http problem.
Thanks for the reply again.
HTTP service is 'greyed' in frontview. HTTPS is 'normal' i.e. configurable..
I still seem to have access via HTTP, but the security kicks off sometimes (e.g. a Node Red HTTP node had to be reconfigured to use TLS, but only to get it not to moan about certficates).
All of this is on a local network - there are no open ports to the internet, so whilst there are vulnerabilities, it is basically 'secure'.
Oh and I'll try the re-install to see if it clears it - thanks.
