Thank you for the tips. * I didn’t know syno-misc.php isn’t common before (it just came when them package installed). Below is the code inside. I didnt get any luck with any of them. I feel like there must be other people that have run into the same issues, after installing from the synology pacakge? I tried the following in syno-misc.php. 1) remove `. "/wordpress/"` from `$home_path = $root_dir . "/wordpress/";` 2) add `/wordpress` to `$root_dir = '/var/services/web'` * I also tried the following in wp-config.php 1) removing `require_once( ABSPATH.' syno-misc.php' );` * Below is a copy of `syno-misc.php` * ``` ``` * Also, enabled php errors, so now I can see more some more information. Below is a capture of that i get when i go to example.com now * ``` Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php:1645 Stack trace: #0 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php(639): wpdb->db_connect() #1 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-includes/load.php(427): wpdb->__construct('wordpress_user', 'passwordexample', 'wordpress', 'localhost:/run/...') #2 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-settings.php(120): require_wp_db() #3 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-config.php(107): require_once('/volume1/web/wo...') #4 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-load.php(37): require_once('/volume1/web/wo...') #5 /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php(13): require_once('/volume1/web/wo...') #6 /volume1/web/wordpress/index.php(17): require('/volume1/web/wo...') #7 {main} thrown in /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1645 The site is experiencing technical difficulties. ``` - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Synology NAS & WordPress domain URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/synology-nas-wordpress-domain-url/) * Thread Starter [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/) * (@fp7100) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/synology-nas-wordpress-domain-url/#post-12672059) * Dear bcworkz. Thanks again for your reply. example.co.uk naturally goes to the/ web folder (via port 80) on my synology. in /web the only sub-directory is /wordpress( i.e. there are .htaccess or wp-config.php files). Are they required to be here also, even with a virtual host? Below are code sections from htaccess or wp-config. php Do you think the $pagaeURL is having any impact? * To check, to remove /wordpress from my url (e.g. so i can access wordpress site directly from example.co.uk, not example.co.uk/wordpress), i need to have the following two things only: 1) virtual host points to web/wordpress 2) [via myphpadmin] siteurl → [http://example.co.uk](http://example.co.uk) home → [http://example.co.uk](http://example.co.uk) * In this case, i have already done this… so i’m quite confused. Thanks again for your help, though! * wp-config [snippet] * ``` /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ $pageURL = 'http'; if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";} $pageURL .= "://"; if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80" and $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "443") { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]; } else { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]; } if (!defined('SYNOWORDPRESS')) define('SYNOWORDPRESS', 'Synology Inc.'); /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { define( 'ABSPATH', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/' ); } /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php' ); require_once( ABSPATH .

Thank you, again, for your quick reply. Actually, I already tried changing these before initially posting, but with no luck so i had changed back to /wordpress. I tried again: 1) go to example.co/wordpress/wp-admin/options- general.php 2) siteurl [http://example.co.uk/wordpress](http://example.co.uk/wordpress) → [http://example.co.uk/](http://example.co.uk/) home [http://example.co.uk/wordpress](http://example.co.uk/wordpress) → [http://example.co.uk/](http://example.co.uk/) ‘save’ results in error [The site is experiencing technical difficulties.]. I guess this is because the home and siteurl now don’t match the actual location. 3) create virtual host to [example. co.uk]; document root [web/wordpress] 4) going to [example.co.uk] gives [The site is experiencing technical difficulties.] * I checked on phpmyadmin that following step (2) /wordpress was removed. However, i didnt edit anything there. Thanks for your help again. It’s very confusing for me. Could it be something in the wp-config file hard-coded or something? I used the default set-up from the synology package install. * Kind regards, Fred * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Synology NAS & WordPress domain URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/synology-nas-wordpress-domain-url/) * Thread Starter [fp7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fp7100/) * (@fp7100) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/synology-nas-wordpress-domain-url/#post-12661554) * Dear bcworkz, Thank you very much for your response. I have followed your recommendation to test the virtual server. Having it running and going to example.com/license brings up the licence page no problem, so I think the virtual server is okay. When i go to example.com (with virtual server set to web/wordpress) i get the following message: “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.” No other information comes up, unfortunately. I can edit the wp_options from php-my-admin. Currently: siteurl: [http://example.co.uk/wordpress](http://example.co.uk/wordpress) home: [http://example.co.uk/wordpress](http://example.co.uk/wordpress) * Any further recommendations are welcome.
