Subfolder htdocs in specified folder (from step 1) is where the WEB server looks for the published web pages.
Modify index.php or replace it with index.html to test the setup.
| WEB Server URL |
The URL to WEB server is IP_address:Port_Number.
From the LAN (intranet), to access the web server simply enter the IP address of the NAS device and the port number (for example http://x.x.x.x:81).
If you are planning to access the device from internet, setup static IP address for the NAS device and on your router , setup DDNS & NAT table to forward http port 80 on WAN port to port X (81) on LAN.
To test your setup see sub folder htdocs. Copy a web page to this directory and try to access it from a browser.
| MySQL Server access |
Navigate to Services and click MySQL Server configuration button.
MySQL web console is available from [phpmyadmin] button. Log in using WEB UI administrator's user name and password (admin/password).
| To remotely access MySQL server using any 3rd party client GUI such as MySQL Work Bench
in phpmyadmin SQL web console type: GRANT ALL ON *.* to admin@'192.168.20.32' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; or for any IP in same subnet address: GRANT ALL ON *.* to admin@'192.168.20.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; replace admin, password and IP with user name, password and TeraStation's IP address .The % character is pattern replacement for any IP in same subnet address.
