I am new to this forum

Post by JohnCT50 »

Hello:

I am new to this forum, and I have an Asustor NAS cloud drive. I have been having issues with getting help on this forum.
I have not received any help from anyone, and the related user's manual may have not been helpful either.

Here's my situation:

I am trying to host my personal website that would include a downloadable file for my app.
I want to filter out my personal webpage, and direct to downloads only.

So far, I have created a www folder within the home folder and uploaded my personal webpage.

Anyone who is willing to help me will be appreciated.

Hi there!

I’m new here too, so I’m still figuring things out myself. 😅
I don’t know a lot about Asustor yet, but I think you might need to check if your NAS’s web server feature is turned on in the settings. On some NAS systems, you have to enable “Web Service” or “Virtual Host” before the www folder actually works.

If you just want to link directly to the downloads and skip your main page, maybe you can set the index page to point to your download folder, or make a simple HTML file that redirects there.

I’m still learning, but maybe someone with more experience can jump in and confirm.

Thanks a lot for the tip! 🙌 I’ll definitely check the web server/virtual host settings and see if that makes a difference. The idea of using a redirect HTML page is also smart — that might be a simple solution in the meantime. Really appreciate the help, even if you’re still new too. Hopefully we’ll both figure this stuff out together! 😅
