This has been a long and tiresome journey, but I think I finally reached the root of the problem and I've started familiarising myself with the dashboard and Wordpress functions again. As you mentioned it seems difficult to get good help for Synology servers and I appreciate your input. The actual p...

I've now changed my firewall router. Although the previous one seemed to work as I mentioned some 'experts' seemed to think it was unreliable. So I now have port forwarding which seem to work consistently. After several attempts, which seemed to have timout problems I've dropped and recreated the da...

I have set http permissions to read+write for the wordpress_org directory. How about the other /web folders? - 'logs', 'phpMyAdmin', 'web-images'...

Sorry, I did not get the folder name right .. now that is corrected I have a page of information all about PHP 7.3.11! I have set http permissions to read+write for the wordpress_org directory. The other directories are read only - 'logs', 'phpMyAdmin', 'web-images'... I've not changed my web statio...

I seem to making some progress here! The Success page is loaded. So I am no longer stuck in the /web folder now. On the other hand, when I push the 'php-info' button there's a white screen which evenutually times out. For a while I thought there might be a problem with the port forwarding on my rout...

This is so weird! Maybe a problem that has nothing to do with WordPress. I was wondering about permissions... http had read only permissions, so I changed this for the directory with wordpress in it. (What about the rest of the files in /web ?). I also changed the URL in the wp-users table. It makes...

Not exactly great unfortunately. As I couldn't reach /wordpress_org using my domain name, I used the lan IP address to go through the WordPress install process. Then in settings I gave the domain name as suggested elsewhere http://www.mydomainname/ for both settings. Then I setup 2 virtual hosts for...

Sorry I wasn't clear, by 'the default index file' I mean the index.html file in the /web directory - the one that displays "the Synology earth and web station is not setup message". I've never had a problem reaching this from my domain URL, it is the next bit that doesn't work - getting in...

I've made a new install from wordpress.org in a parallel folder /web/wordpress_org. I've set up a new database user and database. My domain name points to the default Index.html file in /web. If I add /wordpress_org to the domain name it times out. Deja vu! No clue about why this is. Port 80 looks o...

I've updated the database for 'home' and 'siteurl'. After logoff / logon the general settings page still has Wordpress Address (URL) greyed out with a http://192.168.1../wordpress entry. I've looked everywhere to find occurences of '192.168..', it is not in any config or function files. In the datab...
