Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

So I fixed the permissions issue and now get the following error message


Unable to find the SQLite module. Backlight 2 requires the PDO, SQLite and XML modules. Make sure that these modules are installed and enabled.

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

seems as though my Synology can't get to the internet?  Does that seem correct?

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

You must be connected to the internet to install Backlight 2. Seems that your Synology is not connected.

I'm guessing your working in localhost? I've not tried installing Backlight 2 in a virtual hosting environment yet so I don't even know if it's possible.

Maybe someone who's done it will drop in to comment.

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

I take that back. I have installed Backlight 2 to a virtual server. So it does work.

I've installed it in Desktop Server, which is an xampp-based WordPress development environment. I've not tried it using WAMP yet though.

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

I'm trying to get it working on a localhost on my Synology NAS.  The NAS is connected to my network which is connected to the internet and all works great. NAS updates software from the internet, I can access it remotely etc.

But for some reason still can't install.  So, looking for anyone who has Backlight2 installed successfully on a Synology NAS. 

Thanks

J

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

try a forum search. Might be there's someone who's tried it already

Re: Newbie....Backlight 2 install error on Synology NAS

Hi James, Backlight requires a well-configured and supported Linux server.  As you've found, a Synology NAS doesn't fit the bill out of the box.
Can you check that the Curl PHP module is installed?  If you add a file called info.php on your server with the following contents, then view the file in your browser (at e.g. http://127.0.0.1/info.php)

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

There should be a section for curl with a bunch of settings.  If it's not there then you'll need to install the module. If the PHP Curl modules is already installed, then there's something in the PHP, Apache or server configuration that's blocking requests to external servers.  A first point of diagnosis would be to run the following command from your terminal:

telnet get.theturninggate.net 443

or if telnet is not available:

wget https://get.theturninggate.net

Similar commands exist for the curl linux command.  Whichever one is available should be able to connect to the server.  That will at least indicate whether your server can connect to ours or not.

Many thanks, that nailed it.  I didn't have curl installed.  All installed ok now so am just starting to configure.

Many thanks
