Hi all :D This is my first post here so go easy with me ...OK I've recently bought a second hand ReadyNAS Duo V1 and am trying to get it up & running as a web server to use wordpress on. I have read plenty of info on the subject and followed a couple of guides to the best of my ability but have come across the problem of not being able to log into PhpMyAdmin due to the Username & Password that is highly discussed elsewhere on the web.Now my question is, when it says 'Edit the file config.inc.php' where exactly am I supposed to be looking for this file to edit? I have searched high & low for an answer to this but to no avail. I'm along the lines of thinking that it maybe something to do in Front View under the MysqlOn option which brings me to my second question, although its more of a query. In Front View MysqlOn is on and up & running but the inner box shows no content at all, is this correct? Its just that the PHP5 & PHPMyAdmin have content in their inner boxes but the MysqlOn is completely blank. This I found to be a little odd.MysqlOn V.1.0PHP5 V.5.3.28-sparc-4.5.5PHPMyAdmin V.2.5RAIDiator V.4.1.13 [1.00a043]RAIDar V.4.3.8 ( 4.3.8 )Mac OS X 10.4.9Oh, and I also d/l a copy of iTerm if that helps!Many thanks in advance :)

using login "root" and letting password empty doesn't work ? That's how it is done on OS6.Do you try to have phpmyadmin or wordpress ? because for wordpress the site says that you should edit "wp-config.php". PhpMyadmin has a file called config.inc.php. The problem is to know where the files were copied to. Usual Debian setup would suggest /var/www but since this is an addon it could be anywhere as long as it is specified in an apache configuration. Otherwise than that, I can't really help as I don't have the NAS to test. You may contact the addon creator to get more information. I believe the file you seek is accessible only via SSH but the location varies depending on the configuration.

Hi, first of all thank you so much for the reply!Yes, that is correct, using the login 'root' and leaving the password field empty does not work! I have been trying to follow the work around here http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=72799 and here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/can't-login-to-phpmyadmin-819842/ but I am totally confused by it as I am not sure where I am supposed to be looking for the files, and how?Thank you once again :)

The last post on one of the above threads ends with this 'I know I'm bringing this older post alive... but since I didn't see resolution and recently installed the WhoCares? MyPHPAdmin plugin myself on my ReadyNAS (albeit Ultra)... I did manage to figure out where this setting needs to be made is in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php. Just need to uncomment the line with AllowNoPassword and then you can login with root and no password.'So my question is where is /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and how do I access it?Sorry for being such a dumb ass :P

/etc is on the OS partition. You enable ssh to access it, and use something like putty. Once there, you either -use vi, or -copy it to the data partition, and edit it with an editor like notepad++ which preserves linux formatting (not notepad). Then copy it back with ssh when done.You enable ssh by installing the sparc binary of the enablerootssh add-on here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203

good. You should see config.inc.php in the file listing, correct?

Where am I supposed to see config.inc.php ? I do not see it in Terminal, on my ReadyNAS nor in Frontview

I think terminal is what you want (though I am not a mac guy)
ssh root@nasipaddress would get you into the NAS

did
cd /etc/phpmyadmin
navigate you into /etc/phpmyadmin without an error?

Yes I am already using ssh in Terminal and the cd /etc/phpmyadmin command just returns nothing like this '>

Ok. That means the directory exists. Otherwise you'd get
-bash: cd: /etc/myphpadmin: No such file or directory

and if you then enter "ls -al" you only see the files . and .. ???

See the files where!?!

In terminal I still only get a reply of '>

And in iTerm (Mac's Putty equivalent) I do get a return of -bash: cd: /etc/phpmyadmin: No such file or directory

Ok. Are you sure you are actually logged into the NAS with both iterm and terminal???

For instance, if you enter
cd /c
ls -l

do you see the shared folders on the NAS

I'm sorry but when you say do I see the shared folders on the NAS am I actually looking on the NAS or do you mean in either Terminal or iTerm!?!
