1. Hello,
   Thanks a lot for your tutorial.
   I installed 2 wordpress sites on my Synology NAS using this method.
   I juts had to use ‘localhost:/run/mysqld/mysqld10.sock’ in place of ‘localhost” to access the database, but all runs… except mailpoet plugin that cannot access the database.
   Did someone slove such an issue ?

2. Hi, I saw many links on the internet about how to host multiple WordPress-site on a Synology-NAS. But yours on https://www.oppedahl.com/wordpress/ is very good. I have followed it step-by-step. Only 2 things can be improved. Not sure whether this was specifically to be done on my Synology (DS920+, latest DSM-version at the moment of this message) :

   (1) while creating the virtual-host through package “Web Station”, do the below steps :
   a. Go to Web Station
   b. Select PHP Settings
   c. Double-click the PHP profile you are using (or click once and choose [Edit])
   d. Select General Settings and scroll to the extensions list
   e. Find mysqli and enable by placing a checkmark
   f. Push the [OK] button (no restart required)

   These steps were found in : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44841823/wordpress-fatal-error-uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-mysql-connect

   (2) during your step “Run the WordPress software by visiting the web page https:// and domain name slash wp-admin” :
   a. for database-host , do not use “localhost”, but “localhost:/run/mysqld/mysqld10.sock” . This was found on https://mariushosting.com/synology-error-establishing-a-database-connection-after-wordpress-import/

   For the rest , all your mentioned steps were perfect and very well explained !

   Thanks a lot !
