Poisson's Cacti app installed, can no longer log in to admin page
Hi all,
I'm having an issue where after I installed Poisson's Cactus app I can no longer connect to my admin page. Previously, going to myaddress:80 would bring me to the admin page. Now, only myaddress:80/admin brings me to the admin page, and it hangs until it tells me "ReadyNAS "Admin Page" is offline." I assume this is an issue with how apache is configured (the system does use apache, correct?) I have SSH access so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
L
Fixed it. There was a ghost site enabled called 000-fv-http that was causing some trouble. I deleted it, restarted apache and now http://localhost/admin redirects to https://localhost/admin.

Nevermind. I realized I was attempting to connect through http:// and not https://. It appears that http does not automatically redirect to https anymore, which is strange but not a big deal.

Now there is an option to enable http admin for the web admin interface so we don't automatically redirect anymore.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to disable access to http://localhost/admin? I have disabled the site with a2dissite but I'm still getting through to the password prompt and admin page. I'm just paranoid about someone snooping on a plaintext password and gaining root access (I think that's reasonable.)
