Can not longer access mybooklive/UI/#

[Myron]

Thing is, setting the DNS setting on the computers or to the router to `8.8.8.8` does not make sense to me, but I seen others advising this so no harm in trying. Everything on my network is gets the network parameters from the router's DHCP service.

If it's not your equipment and/or network then it's an internal software fault within the MyBook Live and, unfortunatly for Western Digital, their development team have misses something and as such Western Digital's responsibility.

Check their terms and conditions of the warranty, etc....

Interesting...  I have tried to take a copy of important configuration files and other files and while FileZilla was taking copied of files, it encountered errors only within `/etc/apache2/mods-available`.

Error:	Directory /etc/apache2/mods-available/negotiation.conf: no such file or directory
Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

 Yet I telnet to the NAS and for sure it's a file and it's contents is . . .

<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>

# LanguagePriority allows you to give precedence to some languages

 It's not the content that's the issue. It is why has thid file, and an number of others, been misidentified as directories? All within a directory that the Apache2 web server used and . . . .

. . . there have been many complaints that thre Dashboard UI fails!  Could these two issues be linked in some way?

I'm having the same issue; the workaround I found is opening wdlive.local/UI/ssh

After spending 2 hours on the phone with WD support, they ran me through a number of things "they heard might fix the issue,"  such as installing the latest version of Flash and Java (because that has everything to do with the fact that I cannot get to http://MyBookDied/UI!!!)  In the end, the firmware update did not load all the files to the UI directory correctly.  There is no way to revert back to an older version of the firmware. 

Like many other posters, I was informed that they could send me a re-certified unit which I just received.  Funny enough, upon opening the drive WD sent me, it does not have the latest firmware and immediately prompted me to download and install it!  Instead of going through the hassle, I will quietly sit in the dark and use the old firmware for as long as the drive runs and will never upgrade the device (or buy another WD product again).

To top it off, I have to pay to ship my old drive back within 30 days of receiving the re-certified unit and I only receive the warranty left from the old drive.

To Tony the WD moderator, I am sure Hitachi, Fujitsu, or Seagate is hiring.  Good luck.

when you updated the FW that bricked your Dashboard, was that an "over the internet" update, or did you download the file to your desktop then install manually?

[rubenrubio]

I install over the internet!!

[jstrathman]

I ran it from the Internet.
