[QNAP] web address no going to web server / index.html

[BelgianNoise]

As of yesterday my xxxxx.myqnapcloud.com address isnt going to my index.html anymore. It will use the index.php file which redirects me to the remote desktop login.
adding "/index.html" at the end of the address does work tho.

I renamed the index.php file to index2.php to check if it would default to that, but it still uses the .php file.

Any idea on why this is happening ?

I don't have experience with QNAP products but what is the possibly it receives regular updates from the manufacturer? It's possible they changed a setting that defaults the DNS request to index.php. It's always possible there's a setting that let's you choose which file to default to but I don't know how to change that. In the meantime it's good to know that adding the specific file to the URL does result in page you want to go to. It means there may not necessarily be something wrong here. Just a settings issue.

 

In the event it's not an update issue did you try restarting the unit? Standard practice troubleshooting.

That would be suspect as to the cause then. It also means this may be a relatively simple fix but don't let me get your hopes up.

 

Let us know how it goes. Try to find settings related to the URL. See if there's a setting for the Default page it takes you to.

 

Yep.

Assuming you're not using the index.PHP file - just delete it. The web server is likely defaulting to PHP first, then HTML second.

 

You can likely change this - there might be a hidden htaccess file, or if you can actually get to the apache config file:
/etc/config/apache/apache.conf

 

You can also check the Virtual Server settings and see if there's a redirect there.

 

Alternatively, you can just edit the PHP file to redirect straight to index.html - or you can just use the PHP file and add all your HTML to it (though some format changes in the code might be required - been a while since I dealt with PHP).

simple yet effective - and as long as your NAS's processor isn't being brought to it's knees, it should only marginally increase load times.

really dont care about load times, i used teh index.html as a redirect itself haha. and its a celeron quad core, so should be fine

Alright here is what i tried:
I replaced : 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <head>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<script type='text/javascript'>
        location.href = '<?=$webAccessUrl?>';
</script>
        </head>
</html>

With this in the index.php file :
 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <head>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<script type='text/javascript'>
        location.href = 'bananass.myqnapcloud.com:9080/WelcomeManager';
</script>
        </head>
</html>

 

The "'<?=$webAccessUrl?>'" above calls a function that does something that isnt important i think, let me know if u want me to post it.

When i go to do.ma.in/index.php it still redirects me to the remote desktop manager.
I restarted "/etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh" which is the http server according to internet.

Could one of you maybe provide me with a short php file that has nothing in it but the working redirect for "bananass.myqnapcloud.com:9080/WelcomeManager". I am really not familiar with php code.

 

tnx for ur time again

Update:
This code for the redirect works
 

<?php header("Location: http://bananass.myqnapcloud.com:9080/WelcomeManager"); ?>

But it still goes to the remote desktop website
So i guess it just doesnt use the index.php file either.
