RN104 upgrade to 6.2.4 Broken FrontView
Hi, I have a RN104 which i was trying to upgrade to 6.2.4.
After two reboots of it getting to the point where it displaying extracting on the physical screen it then reboots, says err: problem extracting but then carries on loading into 6.2.3.
It eventually does show the standard display on the screen of fw version and the IP where you can connect to network shares and ssh but not apache2 based applications
Via ssh I've tried to restart apache2 but it keeps failing with an error pointing to
/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service
Relating to
Process: 17857 ExecStartPre=/frontview/bin/fvapps (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/apache2.service
I have the zipped firmware file on the drive if there is anyway I can run the update via ssh which I still have access to.
I've tried to comment out the execstart lines as it seems to be failing on this
(Also, looking at the path ExecStartPre is looking at, there is no FrontView directory at the root of the drive)
Any help with this would be great!
Many thanks,
Chris

- In addition to the above, to get apache2 running at least I've had to
-uninstall systemd
-comment out
--Include "/etc/frontview/apache/apps-https.conf"
--Include "/etc/frontview/apache/fv-admin.conf"
-in files
--/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-fv-https
--/etc/apache2/sites-available/fv-http-admin
--/etc/apache2/sites-available/fv-https
This was because fv-admin.conf was setting a document root of /frontview/dashboard which it can't find
and apps-https.conf was erroring because it couldn't find /apps/logo - Uninstalling systemd is a very bad idea. It's what we use to manage starting and stopping services.
Sent you a PM. - Have replied to mdmg 's pm but seems to be stuck in my outbox but hopefully will be resolved soon
- Good morning. With phbb3 forums messages stay in the Outbox until read.
You renamed a directory /var/www included in the firmware and replaced it with a symlink. Consequently the firmware update could only be partially installed. After I renamed the symlink the firmware was able to be extracted completely.
I see also you are using a RAID-0 volume spanned over four disks. This is a really bad idea. With this configuration if any one disk fails, all data is lost.
