OS 6.4.2 apache2 rewrite problem when using WordPress.
I have read https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/OS-6-1-4-apache2-mod-rewrite-htaccess-problem/m-p/896062#M49808, but I still am confused, probably since that post refers to an earlie...
cont ...
discovered that there is a 'https.conf' file as well as a 'http.conf' file in the same folder - arggh I think I may have solved it.
(nobody seems to mention the secure version, but what the hell, I'm on a roll .....)
So do the same thing in that file, and no luck.
Reboot both the ReadyNAS and my PC, also clear the cache on my PC ... still no luck.
so it's still ANY HELP APPRECIATED - Please.
cont ... (for the benefit of others coming after me with the same problem)
I want to check (again) that I have the 'mod_rewrite' module loaded.
As I already know about using 'phpinfo', I check that and show the appropriate bit below.

I have no idea whether the other bits and pieces are right, but I do have the mod_rewrite module loaded.
So now off to check the internet some more ... this could be a long night.
the http.conf associated to wordpress should contain :
Listen 7095 <VirtualHost *:7095> ServerAdmin admin@localhost DocumentRoot /apps/wordpress/web <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /apps/wordpress/web/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /apps/wordpress/error.log LogLevel warn </VirtualHost>You must install
php5-gd (>= 5.4.4-13), php5-mcrypt (>=5.4.4),libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.4.0),php5-curl (>= 5.3~),php5-imap (>= 5.3~),php-pear (>= 5.3~),mysql-common (>= 5.5.28),php5-mysql (>= 5.4.4-13),mysql-server (>= 5.1),mysql-client (>= 5.5.0)

You must install
php5-gd (>= 5.4.4-13), php5-mcrypt (>=5.4.4),libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.4.0),php5-curl (>= 5.3~),php5-imap (>= 5.3~),php-pear (>= 5.3~),mysql-common (>= 5.5.28),php5-mysql (>= 5.4.4-13),mysql-server (>= 5.1),mysql-client (>= 5.5.0)
From this it would appear that I have to install another 10 modules. Wow!
Because I get confused very easily, could you provide a sample of how to do one of these.
1. How to get the right version
2. Where to be when installing
3. What user to be when installing
4. What command to give.
Sorry about that but I have sometimes caused more problems by 'assuming' certain things, and using Linux on ReadyNAS seems slightly more peculiar than normal Linux.
I am capable of using SSH, FTP etc and am conversant with Linux commands (but not an expert).
Thanks in advance, and thanks for proving light at the end of the tunnel.
I would never have guessed that I needed more modules loaded.

Hi again super_poussin
To see whether my system has installed the approrpriate versions, I am running 'phpinfo' (no problem doing that).
This is headed PHP Version 5.4.45-0+deb7u2
I am suprised that I can only find 7 of the 10 items listed and some of those are ambiguous (around the Mysql bits).
The ambiguous items are all showing higher than your requirement, so no problem there.
Cannot find libapache2-mod-php5, php-pear and mysql-common.
Presumably there is a different way of finding the versions, using SSH?
I am also suprised that individual modules need to be installed, as I would have thought a (later) version of PHP or Apache would have done the trick.
Since each App is a consistent block of code (tested together), I would have thought that installing of an isolated item MIGHT casue an inconsistency between them:)
Please be patient with me as I am trying (very hard) to understand both why this has happened as well as fix it on the ReadyNAS.
Regards

The http.conf has been returned to the original value as you requested.
The 10 packages have been checked using 'dpkg-query -l | grep php' and 'dpkg-query -l | grep msql', and ALL are above the requirements.
Those associated with PHP are 5.4.45 except for php-pear which is 5.4.39 and the others are 5.5.43.
So the requirements as required have been met (and were originally) and still I cannot re-write 'permalinks' in WordPress.
Please can anybody suggest the next move in getting this to work?
Good News - My problem is solved, as I can now rewrite to the WordPress pages whereas I could not before.
Normally I would let the community know how it was solved. (hence helping others)
Unfortunately, I have rebooted the NAS, upgraded the LAMP packages, changed some configuration files, updated WordPress and some Themes etc.
Some of these have been done more than once. I've probably played with other bits and pieces as well.
To be honest I am not certain what did the job - I just know that patience and perceverance have won the day.
I hope that some of the information contained in this post might help somebody else or at least nudge them in the right direction.
..... or even give them hope against what seems unsurmontable odds.
Good Luck
