Enable perl scripting
to enable p-l files we have to change the apache configuration
/mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/apache/apache.conf This will force the .pl files to be executed as an cgi
If you run an .pl file, and you get the save dialog... look here
get Filezilla to log into your qnap
add this to the apache configuration
<Directory "/share/Qweb/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
restart apache
[~] # /etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh restart

look for your ipkg version
[~] # ipkg --version
the system will reply with the present ipkg version
ipkg version 0.99.163

Install of the 2302 Prolific Technology driver on a QNAP 219
Start Putty
input here the putty stuff
Check kernel
[~] # Type: uname -a
Check the actual kernel version of the Qnap in our example the following line is displayed
[~] Responce:Linux Faservtaiwan 2.6.22.18 #1 Thu Apr 30 21:30:06 CST 2009 armv5tejl unknown
The Qnap name is:Faservtaiwan The actual Kernel version is : 2.6.22.18
Double check the USB interfaces on the QNAP
[~] # Type: lsusb
Check if you see the hardware if it is connected at the front
The system will reply with EG:
[~] Responce:Bus 001 Device 003: ID 067b: 2303 Prolific Technology, Inc.. Pl2303 Serial Port
[~] Responce:Device 002: ID 058f: 6254 Alcor Micro Corp.
[~] Responce:Device 001: ID 0000:0000
One of the issues of the 2303 driver, is that LINUX unfortunally does not like to recognize the device at once, and needs some extra help. If you dont see the top line with 2303 Prolific , please remove the USB connector from the QNAP and replug it after 5 seconds. This will do the job
to do
Install Optware in Server web page Tab by selecting QPKG-Plugins >> Optware.ipkg
[~] # Type: dmesg | grep tty [~] # Type: dmesg | grep usb
Check the actual driver status
[~] # Type: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
