Can someone please explain to me how to get MySQL and PHP running on a ReadyNAS Pro 4?

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

I have tried the site explaining how to set up a website. The add-on's he talks about either do not exist anymore or say they are not valid for my architecture. I know the Pro 4 can do MySQL because the Photo's add-on works and uses MySQL. I just cannot seem to find the correct add-on's to get them to install on my box.

Those addons mostly still exist, other than mysqlbackup one at the end. At least, I can download the the x86 versions.  Are you running 4.2.x firmware?

 

However, they are pretty old. I'd start with the php bundle at rnxtras.com.

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

I'm running RAIDiator 4.2.28 firmware. I will try the link you suggested and see what I can get. How do you know if it is x86 or sparc? I'm pretty I read somewhere that the Pro 4 runs x86.

4.2.x firmware runs on x86.  4.1.x runs on sparc.  All pro and ultra models use x86 hardware.

Looks like the PHP bundle will cost me around $6 US? And hope that works.

@WhoCares_ does charge a small amount to cover his costs.  Building, testing, supporting, and distributing apps does take time, equipment, and some money.

 

I suggest contacting him, he might have some other suggestions on packages that would help you.

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

I will be willing to pay that, no problem, as long as it works. Looks like there are plenty of testomonies stating that it works well. 

 

The blog also suggests the add-on "MySQLON" but that link is also broken. Any ideas where to get that? 

 

I think the author might need to do an update to his blog... haha

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

I'd ask @WhoCares_ if you actually need that, since it dates back to 2008.  phpadmin might let you accomplish the same thing.

 

If you do, a direct download is here: http://www.readynas.com/contributed/super-poussin/PRO-MysqlOn_1.0.bin

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

Is there a way to change the port that the ReadyNAS talks on? I have given up on hosting the site on the NAS it's self, and run it on my PC with Xampp. The problem is that both of these use port 80. I have tried to change the xamp and no-ip ports, but this is causing all kinds of issues.

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

You can set up a secondary https port.

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

Now that's what I'm talking about. Clean and clear answer. Great work and many thanks. So now all I have to do is reset my apache back to port 80 so that everything worked perfectly like before. Then use the screen you showed to change that nas over to another port, say port 1234. And then I should be able to reach my site both inside my network and outside with no problems and still be able to run my back up and reach the nas from my desktop that uses port 80 for apache. 

 

Am I correct?

Correct.  You should be using https anyway to access the NAS (and not port 80).

 

Port numbers of 49152 and above are reserved as "private ports", so a choice in the range 49152-65535 is good.

Re: ReadyNAS hosted website

I haven't done much in the way of network config and ports and all this. Thank you very much for all the info.
