DJBenson Posted June 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Is there any way to reset/reinstall Xpenology without losing the data on the drives? I've made a number of modifications to the configuration to allow access to services via the outside world and I want to revert to a clean install as I now have a dedicated machine proxying connections from the outside to my Xpenology box. Is it just a case of re-imaging the USB stick or is there more to it? Edited June 29, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBenson Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted June 28, 2014 Sussed it out for myself. For anybody else that want to do a reset and keep your date, the "trick" is to install an older version of DSM then re-install the latest version. I reverted back to Trantor 4.3 then upgraded back to the 5.0 update 2 - all data is intact but all my mods are gone YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBenson Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 29, 2014 Resetting made no difference, I can't enable Web Station - it tells me to log out and try again. Changed thread title - any advice on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-vap Posted June 29, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 29, 2014 I too found that I cannot enable Web Station. I have no clue why. Hope someone can help us out here EDIT: ok I am not sure but it looks like someone else in another thread http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3334&p=19741&hilit=web+station&sid=b54c5ab1a491961152ed35efe1dace1f#p19741 that had this trouble and possibly solved it by uninstalling Plex and php. Can this be true? I cant quite make out what they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBenson Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted June 29, 2014 OK so after trawling through many threads, it seems that creating a local user group called http with read/write access to the /web folder resolved the issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightysixed Posted September 8, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2014 OK so after trawling through many threads, it seems that creating a local user group called http with read/write access to the /web folder resolved the issue for me. This really did the trick. I was trying the group 'httpd', but 'http' definitely does it. Thanks for the heads up. That was getting aggravating!
