since this question has probably been answered before, could anyone point me toward instructions for how to set up the database for Wordpress before installing WP on letsencrypt? also, how do I move the www folder out of the cache drive (where my appdata folder currently resides) onto the protected array?

I added the [Locale] section to the kdeglobals config file, as per the instructions in one of the links that came up in the Google Search you so amusingly linked to, binhex, but can you or someone explain to me how I get the US date format, which is mm/dd/yyyy, or even better yet yyyy/mm/dd? I tried changing DateFormatShort=%d %b/%y to DateFormatShort=%b %d/%y, but that didn't do anything for me after restarting Krusader. What is the correct syntax for yyyy/mm/dd ? and is Country=us correct for USA?

maybe I'm just reachin', here, but I had a number of weird issues pertaining to permissions, in Krusader, a few weeks back, and one board member suggested that I do the "Docker Safe Fix Permission" operation in tools, which actually fixed my woes. your issue may very well be an entirely different one, but if all else fails, it won't cost you anything to try that, other than a little time, depending on the size of your array.

the disappearing Copy (or Queue) windows was a big issue for many of us users in the pre-binhex version of Krusader, but binhex had the vision of doing a number of improvements, amongst them a little bar along the bottom that shows little thumbnail icons for the Krusader main window, the Queue window, and - if you use the tools in the tools menu - the resulting windows of something like a folder-sizes scan, so that even if you lose focus and cover your Queue window with you main Krusader window, you can pop up the Queue window again by clicking on its icon. To answer your question, Krusader should continue to copy in the background, and you would not have to keep the WebGUI open on your computer for it to do so...it's essentially issuing terminal commands to unRAID, like a form of rsync, if I understood it correctly, which run on unRAID until they are either completed or unRAID is rebooted/shut-down. How to get your Queue (or Copy) window back between Krusader sessions, I am not sure...not in front of a computer right now that can access my unRAID system, to check. As a word of advice (from my own experience), I never use just Copy, but always Add to Queue (with the "Keep window open after completion" option checked), even if it's the only thing I am doing, bc the Queue window is easy to get back. I love the binhex Krusader Docker, and couldn't live my unRAID life without it, at this point...the many subtle improvements he has made to the original Krusader are brilliant and beautiful.

hm, ok, thanks for letting me know aptalca. If I still have you attention, could you tell me the easiest way to move the www folder out of appdata/letsencrypt and onto my array, where I have the necessary space to host all of my sites? I tried moving it and then dragging an alias back into it via the Mac Finder, but I get an error every time that such a folder already exists (even though I had moved it out of there and cannot see an alias or folder by the name of www). *never mind*, just saw your post pertaining to that question!

and to pile even further on top of the questions I already asked, is there some sort of WebGUI that I can install fairly easily that lets me administer the web functionality of the nginx part of the letsencrypt docker? something like webadmin or maybe even Vesta (https://vestacp.com)? not being a Linux guy and knowing very little about how to use Terminal effectively, it would have to be something really easy to install, so that I *don't* have to rely on Terminal to administer the webserver. also, is PHP already a part of this docker or do I need to install something else to get PHP functionality, and if so, what and how? sine this discussion is already 103 pages long and contains dozens and dozens of ongoing issues various users are trying to figure out, would I be better off starting a new topic in one of the other forums, maybe? I have a feeling that come tomorrow, all my questions will have faded into the "distant" past. So what's the best way for a nginx/letsencrypt noob to get up and running properly?

Ok, in the settings page of the docker I saw that the "http:" and "https:" fields were empty...I had thought they auto-populate with the default ports, which obviously isn't the case. After entering 80 and 443, I can now see the default index.html page in the docker's www folder. So, since the www folder is inside appdata, which is on my Cache drive, how can I remap www to my protected array which has vastly more space? I tried moving the www folder to it and creating an alias inside the letsencrypt folder via the Mac OS Finder, but it won't let me...always complains that it already exists. What's the proper way of accomplishing hosting the www folder on the array?

Ok, I am in way over my head here, but after working with the IT at my friend's web-agency in Berlin, where my unRAID server is hosted, we finally got to the point where he set up both an OpenVPN access to my server, that I can use to address most ports, and he also set up a vLAN for the server with a publicly reachable IP on port 80 and 443. I moved port 80 for the WebGUI to another port which only accessible via OpenVPN, but I don't remember now whether I did the same for port 443. Where do I check that, again? Anyway, I just installed the lets encrypt docker, but read that lets encrypt has already been part of the unRAID OS for a few versions, so should I not install this Docker on top of it if I am just now getting started on trying to use my unRAID system to host some websites? Be that as it may, I configured one of my domains to point to the publicly accessible IP of my unRAID server, and entered this domain name into the lets encrypt Docker's config page. The Docker is now running, but when I point my browser to the domain I mapped to the unRAID IP, I get "Safari Can't Connect to the Server" error message. Also, when I try to open the Docker's WebUI, I also get the same error message, although I am not surprised about that, as it tries to open this page at https://10.0.95.2, which is the OpenVPN IP of the server. Since I have no indication of an SSL connection being configured (I can't reach my server at https anything), I am now completely in the dark about where to even start trouble-shooting this rather naive approach at getting unRAID to be reachable via its public IP. Any pointers as to where to start? Since I pointed my domain host's entry for the domain to the IP number only about 45mins ago, could it be something as simple as a DNS propagation issue? What needs to happen before I can open the WebUI page for the Docker at https://10.0.95.2 ? I suppose that the WebUI page will give me the option of pointing to the public_html folder (which I have yet to create), so without that, is there even anything to connect to, for the browser?

And may I take this opportunity to, once again, say how absolutely essential Krusader has become to my workflow with unRAID...what originally required the hassle of installing and configuring an entire Windows VM, just to have a way of managing files locally, is now as easy as starting up Krusader. I particularly like the subtle but noticeable improvements that you have done to the UI, which - in the older Docker - caused continued annoyances (like losing the Queue window), and many of the other little things you did...I *love* Krusader, and can't live without it anymore...so much so that I just donated another couple o'pints at the pub, or whatever else you do, to you. Thank you, binhex, for all you do for us!

finally got a chance to run "docker safe permissions" and it did indeed fix my issues with not being able to move certain files between disk shares...worked like a charm. Thanks, wgstarks!

never mind, my bad...I had zoomed the WebGUI in Safari, which led to cutting off the top of the context menu 😕

No, I do have it, but I'll wait until a move operation is finished...don't wanna compound the issue. thanks!

another thing I don't understand is that I used to always get a "WebGUI" option from the docker's context menu in Dashboard, but I don't anymore...same goes for other dockers that used to give me that option (i.e. Qdir)...what could cause that conext menu item to go missing?

indeed it does...I can see clearly now, thank you! the whole ending section is about permissions problems...is there an automated method for making sure *all* files get correct permissions?

it's definitely not a firewall problem...I get the same behaviour from my computers here in LA, and also from my iMac in Berlin, which I remote into and use for data synchronisation to the unRAID system. And it was working perfectly for weeks, until yesterday. I can confirm that the VPN seems to be re-connecting, constantly, for some reason, and that I have sent a request to the IT there to look into it. What I don't understand that with all things being equal (including the re-connects), the iMac in Berlin was working reliably with Krusader on port 8080 for the past 2 weeks, 24hrs a day...this just started happening, and everything I have been trying fails to have any effect...the fact that it is happening on 3 machines makes it particularly curious.

there may be something funky going on with my VPN setup, but I after using Krusader without a glitch for hours at a time, I suddenly keep getting a situation where when I want to call up Krusader at port 8080, I only get a white page with a directory listing. what could be causing this to happen? makes me realise, yet again, that Krusader is the single most important application on my unRAID, other than the unRAID OS and WebGUI itself...I can't live without it, I can't manage my data on unRAID without it...simple as that...thank you *so* much, binhex, for what you have done here and continue to do! been pulling what little hair I have left out for hours now...going to bed, hoping for a solution tomorrow. g'nite all!

is there some other app I'll need to open this log file with than the Mac Text.app? many sections are all but unreadable to me because they appear to be lacking basic formatting, like line-returns. but it's obvious that I have countless duplicate files, which I am already beginning to eliminate (at least the ones I could read at the top of the log file).

thanks Squid...a 39.9MB log file, that's what I call logging...afraid to open it.

no, the results from the Extended Test are nowhere to be found in the syslog file(s), which leaves me wondering whether there is some other way to retrieve them, since calling up the results in Safari fails, every time...the page is empty after about 100 lines of errors (duplicate files), where the last line I can see is actually cut in half, vertically. anyone know of a way to retrieve that log file in some other way?

oh, as a German-American my command of the language, especially when it comes to abbreviations like that, still appears to be lacking k, gonna try to retrieve the System.log file and see whether it contains the Extended Test results, then. Thanks.

sorry if I sound dim, but what does IIRS mean? it's part of the system log...and that would be on the USB Flash drive then?

I apologise in advance for not scanning all 39 pages of this thread and maybe having missed the answer to this, but I opened another thread in general support (why can't I see the "link" icon in the editor here?) which has gotten zero replies, so I thought it's best to link to it from here:

should I have posted this in another group? is there a specific support thread for the Fix Common Problems plugin? Or could an Admin move this thread into Plugin Support, where I probably should have posted it initially?

I'm gonna mark this issue as "resolved", even though there are still a few odd behaviours pertaining to networking. But I am getting most of what I need to get done accomplished, and what doesn't work properly on my iMac, seems to work just fine on my rMBP, so I'll just chalk this off as "good enough" for the moment. Got more important things to figure out. thanks y'all!

Just ran an extended test, which - on 24TB of data - took a considerable amount of time...the page with the test results keeps freezing up on me...Safari gives me an error message to try to reload it, but it only loads the first part of it. Is there an actual log file that gets saved somewhere, and if so, what's its location?
