ReadyNAS 104 apache2.service

[wayneb14]

Hi, I;m having a problem my NAS sahres are still accessible but i cannot login to the web iterface , the blue light on front of unit is flashing. and the display says 'retry startup', if i then press the blue button it says 'apache2.service' then on a naohter press it says 'booting....' but goes back to retry startup.

 I have treid removing apache2 and re-installing but no use. (see below)

apt-get --purge remove apache2

apt-get autoremove

Then installing apache2 is as simple as:

apt-get install apache2

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

 Any help greatly appreciated

It appears I have the exact same problem as you on my RN314 device on firmware 6.8.1. Shares are all accessible but the web interface is down, and ReadyCloud app on Windows can't find my device.

Ran systemctl status apache2 and got the following output:

/# systemctl status apache2
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Looks like apache2 is borked for me as well.

Anyone has ideas?

I've just done a factory reset and its now working spent ages trying different things.

OS Reinstall didnt work

[GalacticaRaptor]

Doesn’t the Factory reset also wipe your data? Really trying to avoid having to do that... I tried the OS Reinstall to no avail as well.

[wayneb14]

Yes, It will wipe data and set eveything back to default, but I tried OS Re-Insatll twice and lots of other things from lots of different posts, but nothing worked. I copied all my data to External Drives, it was the only way

[GalacticaRaptor]

I have ~8tb of backups and data 😞

Pinging @mdgm-ntgr, if you have any ideas?

It's not a good idea to try things like that without doing proper troubleshooting first.

Retry Startup would suggest an issue starting the management service (readynasd)

apache2 failing to load a php module would suggest a problem with an app's install of PHP, not a problem with apache.

Any thoughts on my particular issue? My device boots fine and no errors on the NAS's display, but just web interface doesn't load up as my apache seems to be broken too. I haven't uninstalled any apps or similar recently, just decided to login one day and suddenly realized I could no longer get in.

Hi, I spent hours going through various posts which didn't work, Initailly it had a probelm with the transmission app (fv-app transmission), so I removed and re-installed that, then it wen onto the apache2.service message, so retried re-installing apache, I pretty much re-installed everything in case of corruption, and also tried OS Reiinstall from boot menu which went through firmware update, but still went back to same message apache2.service. I was getting concerned about data loss with all the fiddling so ended up copying 4TB of data off the drives (Whilst i could still access) to exterrnal and went  for the Factory Reset.
