Cannot connect to frontview

[Squazz]

I can't seem to get any connection to the frontview of my readyNas Pro 4.

I can (read: could) connect to it via SSH, and RAIDar shows my NAS with a lot of fine green dots, as well as the IP address.

But, when I try to connect to the IP address in either Chrome or Firefox, I get the following message:

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.40.78

Try reloading: 192.­168.­40.­78

(And similar in Firefox)

I just tried to perform a OS re-install via the boot menu, but that didn't give me anything. Other than removing the possibility for accessing the NAS via ssh 😕
RAIDar tells me that I'm running with the latest firmware, 4.2.26

Any ideas of what I can do to access my NAS via frontview? 🙂

What is the IP address and subnet mask of the PC?

[Squazz]

The IP is 192.186.40.10

Subnet I can't remember, but will check back when I get home from job 🙂

I am thinking there's a typo. Did you mean 192.168.40.10?

[Squazz]

Yes, sry 🙂 It was a typo 🙂

Subnet is 255.255.255.0
Default gateway is manually set to 192.168.40.1

[StephenB]

Ok. That confirms that the IP addresses are all in the same address space. So that is not the problem.

What firmware are you running?

If you can SSH in, what is the output of

# tail -n 20 /var/log/frontview/error.log

[Squazz]

RAIDar says 4.2.26 🙂

I can't do SSH anymore

Some files that the apache conf for Photos II depended on were missing which broke apache and hence Frontview.

Installing the Photos II add-on over the top of itself and triggering an OS extraction (but not reset of config) using a flag file appears to have fixed the problem.
