I have no idea why this happens, but I have had the same problem since day one. You need to midfy a permissions setting in apache. Afte I did this, it solved all my problems... I find I have to do this after each readynas update, still have never figured out why I am in this boat.
Connect to the box via SSH (putty)
1. Edit /etc/frontview/apache/shares.conf (modify location setting)Replace this-------------------------<Location "/web">Options IndexesOrder allow,denyAllow from allOptions -ExecCGIAllowOverride None</Location>With This ------------------------------------<Location "/web">Options Indexes FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatchOrder allow,denyAllow from allOptions -ExecCGIAllowOverride None</Location>2. Restart apacheapachectl restartHi gt11990,
Let us wait for someone in the community who might had experience with the installation. You could also get in touch with the developer of the app for further instruction.
If in case you need it, below is a link on how we setup a personal web server on the ReadyNAS.
