I seem to have lost the web interface to my FOX T2. I was happily decrypting and shrinking files with it today when I got an error message about currupt headers and lost any access.

I am running on system software 1.02.32 so decided to install the 2.19 custom firmware over it. The installation went smoothly, no errors and the box reports cfw 2.19 when it boots. All I get when I plug the IP address into my browser though is ' Status ...' and a couple of links to Firmware and Webif release notes, no graphics at all, just text. I am obviously linked to the FOX over the network and can ftp to it OK and I have checked the FOX has full web access so am not sure what's going on. Anyone seen this before or know what's happening before I waste too much time on it ?

What version of the custom firmware were you running previously? Did you run the prepare_for_upgrade diagnostic before the update?

Hi Martin. I was running 2.18 before. As I understand it the 'prepare-for-upgrade' diagnostic is part of the Webif interface, so no I didn't run it as I wasn't expecting to do an upgrade before I lost Webif.

Best bet if the link is allowed here is to post in the forum the writers of the excellent custom firmware use. Can you telnet to the IP address and get any answer for instance?

telnet works ok, I can connect and browse no problem. I will post to the firmware forum as you suggest. Many thanks for your help, I'll post back here if I get a solution.

No problem, good luck, can see Black Hole is working with you, the authors of the firmware is "af123" on that site, I had posted in that forum a link back over here too so they'll get you working soon enough I'm sure.

problem solved, although I'm not sure how and why. Just leaving the box in standby overnight has fixed it, despite re-boots and power-downs yesterday.
