Hi 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.

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 Indexes 

  Order allow,deny

  Allow from all

  Options -ExecCGI

  AllowOverride None

</Location>

With This ------------------------------------

<Location "/web">

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

  Order allow,deny

  Allow from all

  Options -ExecCGI

  AllowOverride None

</Location>

2. Restart apache

    apachectl restart
