Create virtual host[edit]

It's necessary to host the wiki using a virtual host. NAS default web server is nginx. Mediawiki requires Apache.

DSM > Main Menu (icon in upper left of taskbar) > Web Station > Virtual Host > Create button

Ideally there would be a domain name reserved for the NAS web server. The wiki would then be on a subdomain, e.g. wiki.domainname.com. Add the virtual host settings for this configuration when available. In the meantime, it's possible to reserve a custom port for MediaWiki.

Select "Apache" for the web server.

Configuring Mediawiki[edit]

Requests for the MediaWiki URL will result in configuration pages if a configuration hasn't been created yet.
