Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

You getting there! The white screen means either php is not loaded or not configured. First open package manager and confirm php is installed. If you are using phpMyAdmin php5.6 is required but should not be used for a website as it is no longer supported . (Synology finally updated phpMyAdmin) Use ...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

It may be easier to check website functionality one step at a time. This involves creating three files. The first is placed in the web folder. The next two are placed in the WordPress folder. If the first file loads successfully using your domain name, Web Station is working. If the second page load...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

I've talked to some that made the mistake of changing web folder permissions. This can mess up WAN access up as well as phpMyAdmin. In the beginning I messed up web station and finally had to reinstall it. That is one of the reasons I started this website. For many issues I could not find help or ex...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

If you can access the Synology screen using your domain name, you should be able to set up WordPress using the domain name as well. When I wrote the original instructions WordPress was on version 3 but now is on version 5.4.1 so they may have changed some things. Since you used a LAN during setup di...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

That's GREAT! Personally I don't use underscores but if everything works as you say, you should be able to enter http://domain.name/wordpress_org and WordPress will load. Additionally you can rename the Synology index.html and add an index.php file to load WordPress. The file should be placed in the...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

My domain name points to the default Index file. I do not understand your domain name points to the default index file. Typically a DDNS service forwards requests on port 80 automatically. All the DDNS service is doing is translating your domain name to an IP address. Your router should be setup to...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

So I think it is time to begin again, do you agree? When I first started the WordPress site I did something similar and ended up starting over. It appears you have a bit of a mess so a fresh install might be best. I did a search on one of my websites and here are the tables that refer to the domain...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

First, what is entered in the WordPress URL has nothing to do with directing a virtual host. A virtual host looks at the URL and directs the request to the folder specified in the virtual host settings. However, the WordPress and Virtual Host URLs must match. WordPress writes information into variou...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

In your first post you stated: I cannot get it to show the Wordpress site - which I can view using the internal IP address of my server n.n.n.n/wordpress. If you can still view WordPress locally, login to the WordPress dashboard and go to General Settings. Check the WordPress Address URL and the Sit...

Re: Install WordPress from WordPress.org on Synology

If the web folder still contains the original index.html file, rename it to something like syno-index.html. Click this link to download an index file for WordPress. Extract the file to your web folder. If WordPress is installed in a folder named wordpress, it should load when you access your website...
