Cannot access admin page

Updated several RNAS 312's with firmware 6.9.3. -Also updated a 212 with 6.9.3.

 

After the  update, RAIDar application 6.3.0 can no longer access the 312's on the internal network through login. Can access the shares via "browse" and thru ReadyCloud....but not thru local or Cloud admin page login.  Did not affect the RNAS 212.

 

Ideas? Suggestions on restoring local login with RAIDar app?

Re: Cannot access admin page

You mean https://nas-ip-address/admin doesn't respond?

 

Did you try rebooting your NAS?

 

Does https://nas-ip-address/fwbroker respond?

Re: Cannot access admin page

Thanks for response. 

 

Yes, have rebooted the NAS's and the router....with the same result.

 

https://nas-ip-address/admin results in: ReadyNAS Admin Page is offline.

 

fwbroker address results in: You don't have permission to access /fwbroker on this server.

Re: Cannot access admin page

Solution found...I think.  I think the problem is a Chrome add blocker that did not present a problem in previous firmware (at same addresses).

Re: Cannot access admin page

There has been a security update to the UI that would require this update (from the less secure to the more secure interface) to have a refresh within the web browser. (Refresh key shortcuts of F5, ctrl + 'r', or  cmd +'r'.)

 

What are the different web browsers were checked? Getting more information will be helpful if it is not related to the security update.

Re: Cannot access admin page

Refreshing the page did not work, neither did closing the browser and opening it again (Firefox 59). However, clearing cache and cookies now allows for connection to the Admin Page.

Turning off the ad blocker was the solution for me as well.

Re: Cannot access admin page

Confirming same issue of not being able to get to the Admin page when using Firefox 58, after updating 6.9.2 to 6.9.3.

 

This happened on 3 ReadyNAS 314 systems, and on 2 ReadyNAS 2120 v2 systems.

 

I cleared the cache and reloaded the admin page. It works now on all affected units.

Re: Cannot access admin page

Does your NAS have access to the internet (i.e. are the DNS settings correct)?

 

You can verify this by downloading the logs using RAIDar and checking network_settings.log

 

If the settings are correct, please reboot your NAS and wait at least 10 minutes. The GUI should then work fine and you can disconnect the NAS from the internet again if you wish.

 

If it's still not resolved then there is something that can be tried using SSH.

Re: Cannot access admin page

I am not seeing that on my RN526 (also runing 6.9.3).  I can access the admin page with both Firefox and Chrome.  Firefox is also 59.0.1 (64 bit) running on windows 10.

 

Do you have any extensions or ad-blockers installed?

Re: Cannot access admin page

It was AdBlocker. Disabled it and all is fine. Didn't need to do that before so I consider it a bug.

A bug in AdBlocker.  AdBlocker works by filtering out stuff in the webserver's html.  It's up to AdBlocker to do that in a way that doesn't do damage - it's not something up to Netgear.

 

The simple answer is to whitelist the NAS.

Re: Cannot access admin page

1. I don't use Adblocker, use Ublock

  • added to whitelist but still no love

2. I disabled all add-ons - still no love

 

3. deleted the old security exception that existed and re-added with all addons disabled -- still stuck on the splash page

 

i wish the answer were that simple.

@Blueray23 @mopgcw

 

Have you tried clearing cache?

 

If your ReadyNAS is conected to the internet have you tried rebooting it and waiting or a few minutes before accessing the admin page?

Re: Cannot access admin page

Same here. After updating my RN102 to 6.9.3 I cannot access the admn pages.

 

Initially it logs in fine, splash and then admin page. 2 to 3 seconds later it displays a progres bar and the message 'Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page..'  it takes about 30 seconds to reach 100% it then shows the admin page for a split second before returning to the progress bar. It loops like this continuously.

 

Tried both Firefox ESR 52.7.3 & Chrome 61. Both behave the same. No plugins running in Chrome. Both browsers have been completely cleared cache wise. Chrome behaves the same in incognito mode too.

 

Any ideas?
