Thank you for your effort.
Yet, according to the referred post (which I used to cure my instance) it seems MC failure having something common with updates – NONES’s last post in the original thread in Czech in the old forum (“…I should take care of MC update myself…”)
Nevertheless, it is not the key issue.
No, that’s why I asked the community for help. To make it clear I approximately did the following:
- tried another browser (Chrome → Edge)
- did some googling to no avail (like “omnia turris luci cannot login”)
- fired the PuTTY
- got stuck with MC
- resolved MC issue with info found in the forum
- after a while spent searching I found this thread
- attempted to restart lighttpd to no avail
- ran updater.sh (it has never went silently and has been reporting some warnings and other issues since the router was first brought up, I don’t remember exactly the messages seen in the web UI)
- attempted to restart httpd, still broken
- found the httpd log stating:
2016-12-18 02:43:59: (log.c.217) server started
2016-12-18 02:43:59: (mod_rrdtool.c.391) rrdtool.binary has to be set
2016-12-18 02:43:59: (server.c.1270) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.
- got upset and tired of the the world being augmented with another imperfect tool (a row of euphemisms) that let me down
- asked the forum
- went finally (almost 3am) to my bed feeling diappointed
Where are the days of NetWare 3.12/4.x which could run for months without a reboot (even if it was patched several times during its up period) and with patches that never brought it to its knees? (At least this is my personal experinece when I was baby-sitting a few of them – I usually almost didn’t know we had them.)
