Looking at the apache config it is obvious where the certificate installed.
It sounds like you might have put some of the default apache config on the NAS interfering with the ReadyNAS apache config.- JeIlMaSep 26, 2016Aspirant
Thanks for the answer but for me it is not so obvious.
I assume that apache main settings are in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but there is also /etc/frontview/apache/ folder with all config files.
In apache2.conf file I can find anything which pointing directly certificate. Apache2.conf points to many diffrent conf / mods etc. files. When I try to follow it and determine which one is frontview config file -> it seems that it would be /etc/frontview/apache/ssl.conf but despite that in my ssl.conf is pointing correct certificate (checked with certificate check utility) ie/firefox shows "self signed" certificate. I have removed all certificates from my browser's settings (which was pointed to my server IP or name) and try to find those with certmgr.msc
So, when you open readynas OS6 frontview, is the correct place /etc/frontview/apache/ssl.conf from where it reads certificate path?
There is also /etc/apache2/sites-available folder from where I can find multiple fv* folders. Those could hold frontview settings but in this phase it was too much to handle.
