Frontview not opening, missing apachectl

Hello,

I had a power outage. Then the filesystem check would not complete. I ended up having to reboot my ReadyNAS NV+ several times until it successfully completed.

When the ReadyNAS finally booted I noticed that I had access to all my shares but Frontview would just not open at all. Luckily I had SSH installed. I saw that apache was not running so I did:


znas:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server: apache2env: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: No such file or directory
failed!


For some reason the file apache2ctl does not exist anymore on my NAS ! I found the proper command to start apache in another thread:


/usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -t && /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k graceful


This command works and I am now able to access Frontview. How can I repair apache2ctl so that apache is started automatically should my ReadyNAS restart? Can someone send me the content of their apachectl?

Thank you

Have you done an OS reinstall?
Why firmware are you on?
Do you have backup?

Based on your reply I realized that Frontview allows me to do a re-install of 4.1.14 even though it is already installed. I did that and this solved my problem. My ReadyNAS rebooted and Apache started, so I guess apachectl got re-installed.

Thanks

There is an OS Re-install boot menu option, but as you found installing 4.1.14 over the top of itself via Frontview also works.
