I have a Netgear Stora, which I haven't used for a while, as the IP address was set to a number which my DHCP server couldn't cope with. I was told to do a factory reset - six lots of flashing lights on the reset button etc. I was then told that by typing mystora.com in a browser I'd be allowed to set up my accounts again and the data should be recoverable. I have a back up of the data, just in case. While trying to re-register I get the following error: Error message: Admin database in /var/lib/oe-admin/configdb.xml is corrupted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/OEone/Admin/DB.pm line 244. Is this a Netgear problem or an internal problem with my Stora?
Can you try to repair networking from option 3 of Netgear Stora software launcher?
If this won't help try option 1 "Setup your stora"
If both above does not help, try to pull the disks from unit and reset it to factory defaults - If I remember it right, with powered on unit, press and hold reset button and on 6th power LED flash release button. Procedure is here:
Don't try to reset it in powered off state! It will either fireup firmware recovery, which is broken because recovery server is disabled, or Stora will try to boot in NFS/TFTP.
If you have SSH access to unit also, you can try to move that file somwhere and ( mv /var/lib/oe-admin/configdb.xml /root ) and reboot unit. If there is a backup of file unit will try to restore it. If backup does not exist, you will be back to option of factory defaults. Alternatively via SSH you can invoke /sbin/reset_to_defaults.sh to reset it at factory defaults. When you succeed with factory reset, register unit with same usename, password and unit name. Contact me on PM if you have more questions.
