Notes on how to configure a web server on a Synology NAS device.

DSM > Package Center > install Web Service

According to sources the "nginx" web server does not support .htaccess. It's necessary to use the Apache server to support .htaccess.

Some packages can't run on nginx, e.g. phpMyAdmin. It's necessary to edit /etc/nginx/conf.d/www.phpMyAdmin.conf to control access ^[1], e.g.

location ~ ^/phpMyAdmin {
    allow 192.168.1.0/24;              // change to desired IP
    deny all;
    /* other configuration */
}

DSM > Control Panel > File Sharing group > File Services > FTP tab ^[2]
- Enable FTP Service: checked
- General group > Advanced Settings button
  - Change user root directories: checked
  - Select User button
    - Add button
      - User or Group: Select existing user/group account from dropdown
      - Specify ftp root directory.
