Frontview not working, admin page showing 404 webpage cannot be found error

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first post here, and I must say, I feel a little embarrassed.

 

So I have been using my Netgear Readynas RN204 for a few months now and have been very happy with it, just lately I have been messing around with the APACHE/PHP/SQL installations (heaven knows why) and whenever I now try to access the NAS via the web admin page through Firefox/Chrome/IE it just shows the HTTP 404 Webpage Cannot Be Found error. I suspect I have deleted or corrupted the APACHE or PHP install or configuation files.

 

I still have access via the putty terminal as root, and can also still access the shared folders via windows explorer. My data appears intact and I will now do a backup.

 

From what I can tell I no longer have an 'addons' folder within the /etc/frontview/apache/ or a httpd.conf file.

 

Does anyone know if there is a simple fix to this problem or if it's going to require a factory reset?

 

Look forward to your replies.

 

Regards

Mark

  • Also the directory:

     

    /var/www/

     

    is empty - I'm not sure if this is the cause/contributing to the problem?

     

     

    Apache server appears to be running okay, here is the log from 'systemctl status apache2'

      I have just tried an OS Reinstall but this hasn't worked.

        OK here's an update - I have just removed app 'phpr6' and can now access the web gui admin page again, BUT it is now showing a red certificate error...
