GL-MT300N-V2 : lighttpd (fastcgi.server) error

JamesIm · 2020-03-10T04:54:13.672Z

I upgraded to the firmware of openwrt-mt300n-v2-3.012 version.
But, the web is not accessed after upgrade.
I checked the error log.

I checked fastcgi program.
But, api is terminated immediately.

@JamesIm
This is a bug in the old version. You can upgrade the software version 3.025 or 3.102. It is better not to keep the configuration upgrade.
3.025

3.102

Thank you to reply.
But I actually downgraded the firmware from 3.025 to 3.012.
I have to use firmware of 3.012 version because 3.025 version takes up more storage space than 3.012 version.
Can you send me the fixed 3.012 version firmware or binary files?
Or can you tell me another way?

@JamesIm
Compared with the changes from version 3.012 to 3.025, it is not a simple package update to solve, so it is recommended that you delete some packages on version 3.025

You can just hold the reset button for 10 seconds to clear your settings and it should work.

The problem may be caused you keeping the settings of a new firmware and used them in the old firmware.
