Synology DS414j Learnings

Submitted by loloyd on Fri, 2015/01/09 - 7:49pm

Here are the things I am learning from having a Synology DS414j. I made myself a repository server out of it. After I successfully enabled the httpd, I had to use ssh the DSM in the box and learn some simple but important aspects in managing httpd in the DSM for Synology DS414j.

As of 2015 Jan 9, Friday:

1. The httpd service can be restarted by simply executing "httpd -k restart" from anywhere.
2. The very enlightening users forum can be found at http://forum.synology.com/. Great info can be found here - http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=232&t=79801
3. The httpd conf file is located at "/etc/httpd/conf/". The actual httpd conf file is "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-user". I had to copy that to "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-user.orig" before making any possibly stupid changes. Next, to make my modifications really self-contained, I added a file "/etc/httpd/conf/modifs.conf" and then added the line "include modifs.conf" at the very last line of the file "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-user". Of course, I have to restart the httpd service for every time I want to see manifestations of changes in the configuration modifications.
