Installing forum script on D-Link NAS (9)
My workplace needed a simple forum to test out some stuffs and so happened hangyong also needed one. So must as well I document the installation procedure for him as well. Researched abit on available forum scripts (phpbb, smf, etc.) and in the end settled with SMF for its lighter memory footprint.
Prerequisites
- DNS-343 or DNS-323 or DNS-313
- Running fonz’s fun_plug 0.5
- Telnet access
Your device should already be running fonz’s fun_plug. If you have yet to do so, fun_plug it! If you are using DNS-343 or DNS-323, follow this guide. If you are using DNS-313, follow this guide instead.

Installing SMF
Point your web browser to http://<NAS IP>:8080/smf/install.php to continue with the SMF installation!
Will SMF run okay on a DNS-323 as well?
m,
Yes.

This is great… just what I was looking for… but…
After following the directions, the SMF Installer gives me the following error message:
Critical Error!
The installer was unable to detect any database support in PHP. Please ask your host to ensure that PHP was compiled with the desired database, or that the proper extension is being loaded.
Sorry for the n00b question, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
tektor,
Make sure you have enabled the necessary modules in your php.ini.

spycam
spycam,
Just enable the execute bit in the file permission.
chmod a+x /ffp/start/lighttpd.sh

Cheers!
Sorry for offtopic.
First of all great article.
Now my problem.
When I run tar xzvf smf_2-0-beta3-1p_install.tar.gz -C /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/smf
I get invalid gzip magic. This is all one line right?
How do you create a new php.ini?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Thanks
