[Updated Below w/ Solution]
Yesterday, I did a clean install of OTRW. I can access all services via SSH; however, I am no longer able to access my web GUI. When I navigate to http://192.168.1.1 I get the following error in Firefox "The connection was reset: The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." After issuing the following command in SSH
Code:
httpd -h /www
I receive the following error: 404 Not Found. Has anyone experienced this problem or could you direct me to a posted solution different from the web GUI reset above?
Update: After further troubleshooting, I have found that this error occurs even when Optware is turned off and external USB storage disconnected. After power cycling the router and issuing
Code:
httpd -h /www
in SSH, I can access the GUI until I attempt to alter a setting. Once a new setting is applied, the error described above reoccurs and I must reissue the httpd command in SSH in order to regain GUI access. _________________ Netgear R7800

Did you enable xinetd service after installing OTRW? It is required for gui access after installing OTRW. Issue the following commands from SSH or Telnet.
Code:
service xinetd on
service xinetd start

Thanks for the swift reply. The problem occurs even w/o Optware running. I shutdown Optware with
Code:
/opt/etc/init.d/optK
and then disconnected my external USB drive in order to troubleshoot.
I found that even then, the problem still occurs and seems to happen only after applying a new setting. I noticed that the section of system essentials freezes and the WAN IP: changes to 0.0.0.0. Soon thereafter I get the "Connect reset" error described above. With OTRW running, issuing the httpd command only results in the "404 Not Found" error when navigating to http://192.168.1.1. Interestingly, I can still access Samba swat at http://192.168.1.1:901 as well as the Asterisk GUI at http://192.168.1.1:1313/cgi-bin/asterisk. Could this be a setting in OTRW or in the web GUI itself? _________________ Netgear R7800

Update
It seems that the httpd server is not surviving a reboot. With external USB storage disconnected, I can get the web GUI to work with
Code:
httpd -h /www
However, this does not survive a reboot and I have to give the command again to re-access the GUI. With OTRW active, give the httpd command has no effect...browsers return "404" errors. How is the httpd server controlled in DD-WRT and what might cause the conflict with OTRW? _________________ Netgear R7800

After resetting router to factory default settings and reinstalling OTRW from scratch, the web-GUI problem appears to have resolved. My apologies for cluttering the forum with n00bness. _________________ Netgear R7800
