Firmware upgrade using SSH OS6
I am running a ReadyNAS 300 using firmware 6.2.2 and I'm not able to access the webinterface (http://IP_of_NAS/admin).
Appearently this was a known issue and this should be solved in newer firmware but since I'm not able to access the webinterface for this NAS it's kind of a challenge.
SSH is enabled, I've copied the new firmware to the NAS but now I have to figure out how to install the firmware using SSH.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me how I should do this? Thanks!

Well if you uninstalled apps the reason would be shown if you look at
# systemctl status apache2That should mention a broken symlink for an app you've uninstalled. Remove the broken symlink using rm and do
# systemctl restart apache2
and the web admin interface should be accessible again.
Alternatively download the firmware e.g. to the /root directory then do e.g.# echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.6.1-x86_64.img > /etc/.flash_update
and reboot the NAS
After you've updated the firmware you'll then have a safe mode that the NAS falls back to using if there is a problem with the http/s config. In http/s safe mode the web admin interface should still be accessible over https: https://ip.address.of.nas/admin
Since # systemctl status apache2 did not show a broken symlink I will install the new firmware. I need to do this after working hours.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Oops.
There would be information in the output of
# journalctl
The broken symlink would be in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled if I recall correctly.
