I fired up my "backup" readynas today and could not access frontview for the first time in about a year - it was time to mirror some files from my main RN104 NAS to the Duo.
It is running 4.1.6 (worked perfectly in this config from new), I have SSH enabled, can FTP onto the NAS, access file shares through samba and putty into a terminal prompt as root. The boot partition is not full.
I have had a read around and I suspect the problem is that I attempted an install of Piwigo and didn't quite get it working. It is possible I tried to uninstall the app and this is what is causing the issue.
What have I tried ? - other than a reboot, only renaming the piwigo appfolder under /webroot that was left behind from one name (indicating I should delete it) back to piwigo
Rather than start messing about and making matters worse I thought I would ask the experts on here first.
I have had to use a secondary login too - my normal one 937carrera is not logging in even after email verification and password reset. One of those days
I received a PM with some advice, and it is now solved
The first advice was to use the "tail" command to get part of the error.log. In my case because I had SSH installed I had already been able to access the full logs through FTP as root user. There didn't seem to be anything of interest there, except for some phpmyadmin errors, so I will post those later.
Next suggestion was to restart apache.
I used the following command
apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf
which I ran from /usr/sbin, it came up with apache-ssl command not found.
Hmm. Now I have another duo and using SSH saw that apache-ssl is actually a symbolic link to apache2 in the same directory. So I created the symbolic link with the command below, I used full paths for safety
ln -s /usr.sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
I re-ran the apache-ssl restart command above and frontview is now up and running. The change has survived a reboot
So, all that had happened is that one symbolic link had somehow got deleted
I have confirmed that piwigo is not installed, so perhaps the removal of that add on is what broke apache.
I will make another post giving details of items in the error log as I am thinking there may be some other remaining problems affecting performance
