No access to Frontview, Duo V1 running 4.1.6

I received a PM with some advice, and it is now solved :smileyhappy:

The first advice was to use the "tail" command to get part of the error.log. In my case because I had SSH installed I had already been able to access the full logs through FTP as root user. There didn't seem to be anything of interest there, except for some phpmyadmin errors, so I will post those later.

Next suggestion was to restart apache.

I used the following command

apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf

which I ran from /usr/sbin, it came up with apache-ssl command not found.

Hmm. Now I have another duo and using SSH saw that apache-ssl is actually a symbolic link to apache2 in the same directory. So I created the symbolic link with the command below, I used full paths for safety

ln -s /usr.sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl

I re-ran the apache-ssl restart command above and frontview is now up and running. The change has survived a reboot

So, all that had happened is that one symbolic link had somehow got deleted

I have confirmed that piwigo is not installed, so perhaps the removal of that add on is what broke apache.

I will make another post giving details of items in the error log as I am thinking there may be some other remaining problems affecting performance
