<h2>Web Applications</h2>
<p>With the Web Station feature and PHP support, you can easily host a website on your Synology NAS and create dynamic websites for your business or hobby. In addition, Package Center provides a variety of 3rd party packages such as Content Management, Customer Relationship Management & e-Commerce system. A default shared folder called <strong>web</strong> will be created to store the files
for your website.</p>
<div class="section">
<h4>Note:</h4>
<ul>
<li>For better flexibility and security, Web Station uses the <strong>http</strong> user group to execute tasks. Therefore, to control the access permissions for your web pages, please change the <strong>http</strong> group's access permissions for each corresponding folder and file. For example, if you want to make <strong>sample.htm</strong> file in the <strong>web</strong> shared folder accessible via Web Station, you'll need to make sure the <strong>http</strong> group has proper read/write permissions for the <strong>web</strong> shared folder as well as the <strong>sample.htm</strong> file.</li>
<li>The home page file should be named <strong>index.htm</strong>, <strong>index.html</strong>, or <strong>index.php</strong>.</li>
<li>When you use the PHP mail() function, the system will automatically retrieve and use the SMTP server information on the <strong>Notification</strong> page. Make sure you have enabled email notifications and entered the correct SMTP server information.</li>
<li>The real path of the shared folder <b>web</b> is <b>/volume1/web</b>. Some applications require the user to set the path in the configuration file.</li>
<li>The names <strong>blog</strong>, <strong>photo</strong>, <strong>photosrc</strong>, and <strong>webdefault</strong> are reserved folder names. These names cannot be used by Web Station, so please do not create folders with these names under the <b>web</b> shared folder.</li>
<li>You can customize the error page by creating a <b>missing.html</b> file, a <b>missing.htm</b> file, or a <b>missing.php</b> file. First enable Web Station. Then place the <b>missing.html</b>, <b>missing.htm</b>, or the <b>missing.php</b> file under the <b>web</b> shared folder on the server. When users link to a page which does not exist, they will view this customized error page.</li>
<li>Maximum number of active HTTP connections: 256</li>
<li>Maximum number of virtual hosts: 30</li>
</ul>

</ol>
<h4 class="disable-eds14">For LDAP users</h4>
<p class="disable-eds14">Each LDAP user will have a unique website address <strong>server-IP/~username@domainname</strong> or <strong>server-name/~username@domainname</strong>. For example:
