Description
WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. The core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers,...
After installation WordPress is accessible not via TOP URL (e.g. http://x.x.x.x/), but rather via http://x.x.x.x/apps/wordpress. The TOP path brings you to ReadyNAS Dashboard (both - port 80 and https/port 443). Is there a way to change this? For example have ReadyNAS dashboard on different port.
Not really, since this is by design. The web server used to run WordPress is the same that is used to deliver the pages for ReadyNAS management. In addition the ReadyNAS web UI is using the "default" virtual host of the Apache installation. So basically one would have to redo the whole Apache config and even if one managed to do that the ReadyNAS web UI would probably broken since some of the underlying tools and daemons expect it to run on standard ports.
The only somewhat easy solution I can think of is to use a proxy in front of the installation which of course would require another web server installed on a different machine, preferably the router or the firewall system.

Thanks, Stefan! Anyway - I found one way to solve this - hope it will help somebody with the same problem. Here is what I did... You have to use DNS name rather than IP address for this (to test it will be enough to add a record to you local HOSTS file). Then you will use Apache's ServerName directive. Now here is the trick - you need Apache to see your setup before it will start doing Rewrite for admin dashboard. In order to do this you will need following:
1. In /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder rename two existing "000-fv-http" and "000-fv-https" to start with 001 (example: 001-fv-http, 001-fv-https).
2. Copy your WordPress's conf file in the same folder to start with 000 (example: 000-wordpress.conf)
3. In your new wordpress conf file (e.g. 000-wordpress.conf) change ports from whatever they are to port 80 (in my case ports were 7095 - they are appear there in two places - change both to 80)
4. Add "ServerName xyz.com" right under "<VirtualHost *:80>" line. xyz.com is your DNS name (one that you want your site to be accessed by).
5. In WordPress Dashboard remove "/apps/wordpress/web" from paths (at least in second path) - so it is just http://xyz.com
6. Restart Apache by command "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
Hope this will help somebody. I am not sure what will happen when you update ReadyNAS firmware next time - whole setup might be erased - so you might need to redo it again...
