Apache2 not starting, admin page is offline, shares and SSH are still available
Over the weekend I set up PHP, MySQL, and phpmyadmin and moved my web-based database to the NAS. Everything worked except the htaccess. I got that working Monday and tested it all out with great pride. Then I rebooted (to replace the UPS) and when it came back up, I could not access my subdirectories in the www share online. I received an email from the NAS saying that there were errors in the PHP install. I went to try to uninstall it, and I got an error that it couldn't be uninstalled. Then all the web pages were down including the admin page. Port 7082 (phpmyadmin) isn't responding either. I used SSH to log in. I tried to restart apache, but it failed saying:
apache2[4034]: [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting
I can still access the shares through the network, I can access them through https://readycloud.netgear.com/ as well as my iphone app. I just can't get to the admin page or the www share set up for HTML access.
RAIDar says everything is up and healthy. The admin page shows the "ReadyNas Admin is offline" page.
Firmware is 6.6.1 - but before this happened it said that was the most current (although I see it's not).
What am I missing? How can I correct this?
I found one of the problems! In my attemp to debug, I opened /etc/apache2/conf.d/logging and tried to edit the format to a more verbose log. When I set it back to normal, I must have hit 'x' instead of ctrl-x to close and it saved an x at the head of the file. I removed that and apache started and the server is showing me the admin page and the www/ folder again!
Now I just have to figure out the problem with the htaccess files! I just can't seem to get my subfolder to be password protected!

Can you download the logs using RAIDar 6.2 then send those in (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
