TS-469 Pro - Web UI stuck in redirect loop

Recently upgraded firmware to 4.1.3 build 0217 and after reboot, cannot access the web management UI at http://devicename.

Page returned is:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<script type='text/javascript'>
	location.href = 'http://<device name here>:80/';
</script>
	</head>
</html>
As you can see, it simply redirects back to the same URL.

Attempting to access via https gives:

Code: Select all

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
So far I have tried reinstalling the firmware - no change. Downgrading to 4.0.7 build 0410 - no change.

How can I get the console back? File services and FTP are operating fine.

Access your NAS via SSH (download PuTTY), login as "admin" and run:

Code: Select all

cp /etc/config/uLinux.conf /etc/config/uLinux.conf.BACKUP
setcfg Misc Configured "TRUE"
setcfg System 'Web Access Port' '8080'
setcfg System 'Force SSL' '0'
setcfg stunnel port 443
setcfg -f /etc/config/stunnel/stunnel.conf https 443
/etc/init.d/thttpd.sh restart
/etc/init.d/stunnel.sh restart
#done 

You should now be able to access your NAS at: http://NAS-IP:8080/ and https://NAS-IP/

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thanks. I can't get back in again.

Does the web console have to be on a port other than 80? I thought for sure I had it on port 80 because I don't recall opening port 8080 via the firewall for remote access.

The NAS Admin WebUI lives on port 8080/TCP unless you changed it.

You should be able to access it at: http://NAS-IP:8080/ and https://NAS-IP/, after running the commands I provided in my last message.

Like I said, I'm sure I changed it to 80 at some point, that's why my redirect loop was directing me back to port 80. Your ssh commands changed it to 8080 and I could get back in.

Now, if I try to change it to 80 it gives a message, "The system port is used by other applications" when I click Apply

If you'd simply run the commands I suggested it would put it back to default port 8080. Anyway, I'm not here to argue with you, so either try those commands, or don't, entirely at your own preference. Good luck.

I did use the commands, and it's at port 8080. No argument there... Just pointing out that it used to be at port 80, and now I can't put it back to port 80 because it says that port is in use when I try. It's not a huge deal since I have to access via VPN, now, anyway, sort the port number is irrelevant, but was just wondering what changed so that I can't set it to port 80.

Port 80/TCP is the default HTTP port for the Web Server. (Just like every other public Web Server on the Internet):
