Lost Web Interface (Admin Access)
D'oh! I am using an Ultra6 and love it (for the most part). I just went to install and configure ReadyNAS Photos 2 - and opted to disable the 'UPnP access to the photo album' and do the inbound NA...
The OS Re-install leaves data intact. Only the factory default wipes the data.
If you enabled SSH (i.e. via EnableRootSSH), an OS Re-install will reset the root (SSH) password as well as the admin password.
If you can't get in via SSH to edit "/etc/frontview/apache/addons/READYNAS_PHOTOS_II.conf" yourself, you can contact tech support. They have a way of remotely logging in (they will tell you how to give them access) and fixing a problem like this (a fee may be attached).
After editing the config you can then restart apache
Port 80 is used by default to refer you from http://ip.address.of.nas/ to http://ip.address.of.nas/shares (where you can access your shares via HTTP if you've configured them to be accessed that way) or from http://ip.address.of.nas/admin to https://ip.address.of.nas/admin. http is used for some parts of Frontview and for some addons, I think. It's a reserved port and you can't use it for other things. The thing to do if you want port 80 to take you to something like Photos II, is on your router to set port 80 to port forward to a different port (e.g. 8086) on the NAS. Not all routers can do this. DD-WRT firmware can be used on some routers that don't support this kind of port forwarding out of the box.
Edit: Just been thinking about things. Due to the way Photos II works, port forwarding port 80 to a different port on the NAS wouldn't be the way to go with Photos II. I don't think it'd work.
With Photos II, http://photos.readynas.com/photographername refers to the http://ip.address.of.nas:8086/... address
There really is no need to set a different port for Photos II unless the default port Photos II uses is blocked for some reason.
