I recently setup FreeNas on a old PC of mine. I have enabled DAPP, SSH, etc without problem. Recently I have been trying to set up a web server to host my files online. I thought it didn’t work, so I shut it down for the night. To my suprise, booting it up the next day, when I went to the configuration page (the default 192.168.1.250) i could see the files I was trying to host! But no matter what I did I couldn’t get back to the configuration page, as the 192.168.1.250 was taking me back to my files. As far as I can tell, this is because the webservr portion is on the same port as the webGUI. How do I change this, without using the GUI, as I do not have access to it. I do however have physical access to the server. Thanks in advance.
Change your server configuration (Apache?) to listen on another port – 81, 8000, 8080). Use 192.168.1.250:8000 (or the port you’re using) internally. If you want it accessible from outside, open THAT port and use port redirection (DynDNS makes it pretty simple – and free) to redirect your address on port 80 to your chosen port (so people can just type the address – they won’t have to know what port you’re on). Port 80 is just http by convention – there’s nothing magical about any particular port number.
