Duo v1 - Update to 4.1.12 - no access, even not with SSH

[bigboy06]

I have the same problem as badbrad1 in the thread http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=71858, but in my case SSH is installed, and so is PHP.

I tried to access the ReadyNAS via Putty with user=admin and my password for the Frontview GUI. The login is apparently accepted, but Putty closes immediately and nothing more happens.

What can I do?

[StephenB]

ssh login name is "root" not "admin". Use your admin password though.

Note if using the PHP 5.3 add-on this only effects users using the 5.3.18 and 5.3.20 add-ons. If you have an older version of the PHP 5.3 add-on installed it should be fine to update to 4.1.12 but make sure you have SSH installed first, just in case.

If you can wait there will hopefully soon be a new version of the add-on which is compatible with 4.1.12 which you could install via SSH

If not, I just fixed badbrad1's system, so here is what you need to do:

1. SSH in as root as mentioned by StephenB
2. Downgrade to 4.1.10 via SSH

# cd /tmp
# wget http://www.readynas.com/download/RAIDiator/RAIDiator-4.1.10
# echo /tmp/RAIDiator-4.1.10 > /.cf_update_in_progress
# reboot

3. Once the system comes back up running 4.1.10 run this command via SSH

# /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart

4. Try to access Frontview again. If you can't post the output of

# tail /var/log/frontview/error.log

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Stephen, that worked (of course!).

@mgdm:
I do have PHP5 v5.3.20-sparc-4.3.5.
What I did was:
- log in via SSH
- rename \etc\frontview\apache\addons\00_php5module.conf to .../00_php5module.conf.OLD
- cd /etc/init.d
- ./frontview start
and the GUI was accessible, still under 4.1.12.
From there I reinstalled PHP5 over the former installation as suggested in the other thread.
Frontview now still works, even after a restart via SSH.
Hope it will stay like that.
Thanks anyway for your help.

I did the same as Bigboy6 and it also worked for me

Thank you

I have the same problem. Upgraded my Duo v1 and now can't get to Frontview. Shares are up and available but no other access. I don't run any add-ons.

Tried downloading PuTTY for windows and SSHing (per above) to the NAS, but connection is refused.

Please help me to get Frontview back 😞

putty/ssh would only work if you had previously enabled ssh.

Have you tried powering down the NAS (press and hold power button for 5 secs) and then booting the NAS again?

[Spunk]

I successfully upgraded to 4.1.12 and everything was working including Frontview. After reading these related posts, I decided I better install SSH in case disaster struck, so I installed EnableRootSSH_1.0.bin and rebooted. Now Frontview didn't work. Next, I SSH'ed into the NAS and tried running:

- cd /etc/init.d
- ./frontview start

OK, now I can get into Frontview OK. The only thing that stopped working is ReadyNAS Remote. This is the only add-on that I have installed.
I am not familiar with the PHP discussed here but I see that Remote runs P2P (any relation to PHP?), which does not seem to be able to be restarted from Frontview.
Any thoughts?

[StephenB]

p2p is unrelated to php.

[poisonrain]

Full powerdown / wait / power back up has worked - I have frontview again. Many thanks all!

mdgm - I PM'd a reply (still seems to be stuck in my outbox though) - thanks for your assist!

PM's remain in the outbox until they are read.

Good to see it fixed itself. With no add-ons installed a reboot should bring Frontview back. Do note that Frontview is a low priority process. If the NAS is under heavy load Frontview may be very slow or unusable.

[Spunk]

A second reboot brought back Frontview without manually starting it and has also restored the 'Remote' add-on so that it's working again.
All appears to be working OK. In summary, I didn't change anything but it seems the second reboot helped.

Hi I am new at this forum, bought a Ready Nas a while ago, and updated it to the latest firmware this month. Now just like more of you I Cannot get frontview to work anymore 😞 .

I tryed the methode that was posted here

1. SSH in as root as mentioned by StephenB
2. Downgrade to 4.1.10 via SSH
Code: Select all
    # cd /tmp
    # wget http://www.readynas.com/download/RAIDiator/RAIDiator-4.1.10
    # echo /tmp/RAIDiator-4.1.10 > /.cf_update_in_progress
    # reboot
3. Once the system comes back up running 4.1.10 run this command via SSH
Code: Select all
    # /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart
4. Try to access Frontview again. If you can't post the output of
Code: Select all
    # tail /var/log/frontview/error.log

The first step worked for me ( the downgrade to 4.1.10 )

The next didnt work for me ..
3. Once the system comes back up running 4.1.10 run this command via SSH

   # /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart

I got the following error back

apache-ssl: Syntax error on line 285 of /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/frontview/apache/addons/00_php5module.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: xmlTextReaderSetup

and this one from step 4

Now I get that this error has something to do with my PHP Module installed, also try'd the rename trick below, but when I enter that line in Putty it says that it doesnt know the "RENAME" tag.

Hope that someone can help me with this 🙂

[mdgm-ntgr]

The command to rename is "mv" (no quotes).

What's the output of the following?:

# ls -la /etc/frontview/apache/addons

[Wilco87]

Thanks for your replay,,

How should i use that command then ? I am realy a newbe in this stuff.

the output for the asked command is .

# mv 00_php5module.conf 00_php5module.conf.old

[StephenB]

Before the mv command you need to get to the right folder.

# cd /etc/frontview/apache/addons
# mv 00_php5module.conf 00_php5module.conf.old

[mdgm-ntgr]

Good point. If not familiar with basic commands such as this you should look at some tutorials. MAN pages are also worth looking at.

[timvdh]

I'm having the same problem on my NV+.

I just want to vent here that I'm getting real unsatisfied with this ReadyNAS product. The tips here on this forum (SSH etc..) are appreciated, but NOT end user oriented in any way. I know a little about computers, and if I have a couple of hours, I can read about how to connect using SSH (yes I did install the enabelSSH thing), what programs to use etc. But this is again NOT end user oriented in any way and very disappointing.

This product should not be for computer geeks only 😞 😞 😞

[mdgm-ntgr]

If it is too complicated for you to fix there are people such as myself who can help fix systems remotely. It's quite impressive in my view that WhoCares? managed to get PHP 5.3.20 running on Sparc systems.

[Wilco87]

Hey you guys,

I just wanna say

THANKS !!!!

You made my day, my nas is up and running agian.

Just one more question. Now I have it up and running again, my next project was to set up a tiny webserver on it. That worked out great, but when i restrict to a .php file it only try's to download it. Normaly I whould start a new topic about this, but since I had to rename a file in the PHP add on it looks best to ask the question over here.
Anyone know's what I can do to enable the PHP on my webserver ?

Thanks 🙂

[mdgm-ntgr]

Install the PHP add-on again over the top of itself.

[Wilco87]

Ok thanks for the replay, I think I lost the image file, and I cannot download it again... This means I have 2 pay for something twice ? :roll: :x :? that frustrating, got it from readynasxtras
