Unable to login to readynas rn31400 after changing HTTP settings.
I was trying to setup my RN 31400 as a web server. Being unfamiliar with the procedures, I went to the netgear help page for guidance. I went through the steps outlines in their procedures, but when I came to the setup for HTTP, there was a discrepancy between their setup procedures and what I could do. Their instruction page shows HTTP Setting with only 1 checkbox for"enable HTTP". My HTTP Settings page had 2 checkboxes 1-"Enable HTTP" and 2-"Enable HTTP Admin". I enabled HTTP, left enable HTTP Admin un-checked, and set the re-direct web access to the folder on the RN31400. After I went through all the procedures, I attempted to access the website folder with IE. It didn't work..., so I just quit trying. Then I tried to log back in to the RN31400 using Raidar 6.0. I could not access the admin page. I am using OS 6.5 if it matters, but what I would like to know is, what file in the nas contains the setup for the HTTP section. I have WINSCP and can access it with that. I get the feeling I should have enabled HTTP Admin, and now I'am looking for a little assistance. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi NASty1,
I apologize if you have to reset the unit in order to access the admin page. As StephenB said, you could've tried to access it via https://NAS-IP or https://hostname (which is the default). I also agree that our manual should be updated and more clear about HTTP/HTTPS admin access.

Didn't try https, maybe should have. I tried re-installing the OS. That didn't work. So, I just re-formatted the nas. I got too frustrated! I'am really not happy with NETGEAR. They can't seem to keep up with their own updates! I mean, how can you update a system or procedure, and NOT update the setup instructions for it? I was trying to set up a web server, and was following their instructions to the letter. Do they even bother to test their updates before they release them? , or are we all just guinea pigs for their amusement! Thanks for responding, and I apoligize for my impatience! Might as well mark it as closed!
