ReadyNAS Pro 6 on readyos v6.10.6 no frontview on boot
First of all let me right of the bat start by acknowledge that I'm aware I'm running "unsupported" software on legacy hardware.
My setup has been working good for years and years since I due to security concerns and the limitations of the old v4.x.x got new hard drives and upgraded to ReadyNAS OS v6 around versions 6.2.x.
I've been running on this old trusty ReadyNAS Pro 6, updating one OS release at a time for a long time and not really caring that at some point an OS update broke the startup sequence somehow.
For some unknown reason the apache2 service doesn't properly start on boot, so no Frontview.

So, ssh in to the server, and quickly types 'sudo service apache2 restart' and voila,

Strange thing is that I haven't found any other issues. Network shares and really every other add-on I've installed works on boot so it's not a big issue, just an annoyance but if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them! 🤔
Not a lot of clues here. You might want to search through all the log files and see if there is more information on what is killing apache. It might be one of the add-ons/apps (including ones you uninstalled that might not have uninstalled correctly).
The brute-force "fix" is to back up the files, do a factory default, rebuild the NAS, and then restore the data.

Have you tried an OS reinstall from the boot menu?
- Yes, I’ve tried the boot menu OS reinstall but that didn’t help which is so wired!
