Update on QNAP, Pagekite, and COPS install.

I was able to get Pagekite at least running and reconfigured my original pagekite.rc config file for the single COPS server on port 80.

That whole rigamarole is working! Pagekite likes all the stuff and registers a valid domain name which then points to my setup properly.

However, when I go to that url with my browser, I get an Apache 403 error:

Code:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache Server at mydomainname.pagekite.me Port 80

I have no clue why I am getting this error. I did not have any problems with Apache on my Linux install on my pc using the Calibre Server. And pagekite does not require any port forwarding either.

Q1) So is it just a matter of telling Apache to allow access to "/" on QNAP? If so, how do I go about that? More importantly, what are the security ramifications doing this? I mean it sounds like 'root access to everything...'

Q2) Is port 80 the best place to have COPS on QNAP? Using the Calibre Server on Linux, I used ports 8182-8186 because of conflicts with the 'normal' ports being in use. Changing pots in pagekite is easy, but how to change in COPS if I need to?

Thanks!
