Stuck in "Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page" after upgrade to 6.9.3

Never had any issues with this NAS (bought in December, 2013). Today I upgraded from 6.8.1 to 6.9.3 (through 6.9.0). Since that, it keeps looping in "Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page". I still c...

    Well it was the issue that connecting it to the internet and rebooting it and waiting at least 10 minutes would have resolved.

     

    Glad that it's now fixed.

Similar issue here. I upgraded to 6.9.3 and to be honest, everything seemed to be working fine. Until I decided to alter some of the Shares' File access. Then I applied the changed and boom - I am stuck at the "Connecting to the Readynas Admin page". 

* it does shows me the web page for a second, then goes back to the connecting message

* I can ssh with root (laptop on the wifi, NAS on a cable to the modem)

* I can access the shares over SMB

* I can't ping the default gateway, which is the internet modem's IP

* I can't ping anything in the outside world

 

Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome, please.

 

Thank you in advance.

gnikolaev you could start by checking the readynasd log entries

 

# journalctl -an 100 CATEGORY=readynasd.log

 

You could also check to see if there's a wordpress directory under /apps/.freeapps and if so remove the wordpress directory.

    Thanks for coming back Mdgm.

    There is no wordpress directory in the /apps/.freeapps folder as suggested to check.

    Here is the readynasd.log as suggested: https://pastebin.com/XyHtkwMP

    If there is anything else I can gather/check just let me know please.

     

    Thanks

      gnikolaev, if you have plenty of free space on the 4GB root volume perhaps try an os re-install

        Thanks MDGM.

         

        I have 3.1GB available so I should be good to do that. 

        Some questions before I do that though:

        * Will an OS reinstall require disk format afterwards?

        * Any tips on how to do the OS reinstall? Or links may be if such available already?

         

        Thank you!
