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.
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!
Quick update from me. After doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu, the Admin page seems to be working fine along with the whole NAS.
A note for anyone in the same situation: Don't rush to conclude if it's working or not. It looks like once the ethernet connection came up, it took approx. 5 minutes to update the Antivirus. While it was doing that, I was still getting the looped Connecting to admin page. However, once it was updated, all started working properly.
Thanks MDGM for the help!
