Hello,
I have DNS-320 and I would like to change the user application home screen to display only the Web File Server icon. Is this possible? Where are stored the web pages of the web server?
Thanks in advance,
Viktor
I have just swapped my original drives for larger ones, but the DNS-320 is not showing any more space on the existing RAID1 array.
I want to resize the existing array to make use of the additional space on the new discs.
Can anyone help me please?

I am just wondering if anyone installed any CalDAV and CardDAV server on DNS323? I wish to share contact and calendar with family members. Something like http://trac.calendarserver.org/ or http://radicale.org/download/?
hi eveyone, i dont ”speak” linux and i’ve read that its possible to install Plex media server on dns320 … can anyone confirm this and post a tuturial to install it??
Manny thanks
Where have you seen this app for dlink?
I think that is not supported
i’ve been around the plex forum and theres some guys that says it’s working.
they say that it will work on ARM processors and i’m googled my dlink and it says he as an ARM processor…
If, 320 and 325 have ARM processors!
It would be good news to come out!
That forum is this?
it’s this forum

Hi,
I am considering buying a DNS 320L
Does anyone knows if this work for DNS-320L

Thanks.
Yes it works.

Thanks for your reply, that’s a great news!
I would like to install a drop box like solution (http://owncloud.org/) on my DNS-320L (not yet bought).
OwnCloud requires an http server and PHP 5.3+. Mysql is also good to have even though it can works with SQLite.
In your tweets, I found this:
php: Updated to 5.4.4
mysql: Updated to 5.1.58
lighttpd: Added 1.4.28 with fixes for the DNS-320
So everything seems fine… but I also saw that the php, mysql and lighthttpd tutorials concerns fun_plug 0.5.
Can I hope to have these working with the latest version of fun_plug (0.7)
Thanks a lot for your support
Note:
Installing fun_plug does not break any existing features, right? Especially, the DNS-320L ‘myDLink Cloud service’ is still working fine?
Hi,
I installed fun_plug 0.7 on my DNS-320L and it works but I have a problem – after first reboot all files and foldes are set with full (777) permissions?
Thanks,
vanko
Hi,
I realise this is a massive noob question but I’m just delving into fun_plug here.
I’ve been having a few problems with the UPNP server on the factory standard DNS 320 (doesn’t pick up new files) so am quite interested in getting fun plug on to use one of the alternate UPNP servers.
Does installing fun_plug have any side effects on the device (I’m thinking mainly on the power consumption/spin down side) that would increase running costs?
I’m not sure, from what I’ve read, if it runs like a Kernel, disregarding the system settings or if it runs (along with any software other than maybe a Linux OS) like a deamon/service on top and wouldn’t affect the actual running of the device.
I’m probably missing the point, but any pointers accepted.
Any tutorial to install mysql on a DNS-325 and 0.7 funplug?
Dear,
First of all, thank you for the amazing tutorials on this site.
Nevertheless I still have a (silly) question: with funplug on, will all the other native applications from my NAS (web-interface, torrent downloader, etc.) still work?
Hallo,
FFP habe ich erfolgreich auf meiner Medion NAS zum laufen bekommen. Was für Möglichkeiten habe ich mit FFP die Festplatte zu verschlüsseln?
Kommt noch Plex Media Sever als Packages?

Hi all,
I do not know if this is the right place.
First of all my intention: i need to replace my old web server (pc) with new lighttpd+php+mysql by dns-320.
My problem is that php can’t connect to mysql!
I installed fun_plug 0.7, it works very fine,
then mysql (it works fine),
then lighttpd (i had to modify the start script and now it runs well),
then php, and here come question:
- the php.ini found in examples seems not to work (al last for me).
When i copy one of them to /ffp/etc/php.ini, php simply does not work anymore!
I’ve than take php.ini-development (cp examples/php.ini-development php.ini) altered line 819
extension_dir = “/ffp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/”
then added the following
extension=mysql.so
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
but php is not working. lighttpd response good but php seems to be disabled.
Is there some log file i have missed?
I’m using a wrong php config file?
Thanks a lot for your support

Sorry I’ve solved.
It was a malconfiguration of host name.

Hello,
I installed fun_plug 0.7 on DNS 320.
I didn’t find a tutorial for installing lighttpd with fun_plug 0..7.
When I try to follow same tutorial made on 0.5, it’s not working at all. When I go to ipofmyNAS:8080, it’s not working…
I think it’s a problem with config file.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much,
Hi there,
I recently bought a DNS-320L and whished to install fonz fun plug Facilities (v 0.7).
This worked fine on first run : Everything installed fine in the first part of the tutuo and telnet access enable ;
Connecting via telnet I removed telnet on startup and replaced it with ssh : Still no problem
Then I (still following accuratly the tuto ) I rebooted the box and here comes my problem :
* Telnet still enabled
* ssh won’t work !
Investigating a bit I managed to realise the whole ffp directory has changed to permission 777 (including ffp/etc/ssh/* causing ssh to refuse file permission).
From there I started to investigate where this does happen but without any sort of success.
Bearing in mind 777 permission is affecting the whole ffp directories I dont even have choice to choose what to start or not (/ffp/start).
Is this a know issue with DNS-320L (firmware 1.0) ?
Is my only alternative to use ffp/etc/fun_plug.local and hardly setup permission to files ?
Please note file permissions are re-set to 777 every time I reboot.
Hi Pascal, Hi all.
I’m planning to buy a DNS-320L like you.
Did you find a solution for the problem of user permissions ?
I’m planning to install twonky media: is it possible ? Any issue about that tweak ?
Thanks in advance

Fun plug 0.7 and earlier version slow down SO MUCH write\read speed from nas. I’ve a dns 320 and the situation is completely different with funplug loaded (12MB write / 8MB Read) and without funplug (23MB Write / 23 MB Read)…This is a big problem.
Hi Uli,
I’ve installed fun_plug on my dns-320 and wanted to install Serviio on top.
Serviio seems a reasonable choice as it’s got a lot of renderer profiles and allows transcoding which is a must for my Panasonic that is not able to decode mp4 from a multimedia server. There is also an Android app (Serviidroid) allowing to manage the server through your mobile. Last but not least it’s free.
There is a tutorial: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=install_dlinkdns3xx
The instruction mentions several installations in order to make Serviio live and kicking, like squeeze, webui, apache2 etc.
There is also a pre-compiled package containing all necessary components (method 1).
My preference is to only install individual components absolutely necessary to make it work.
However being this ambitious I must admit I am a total newbie and have basic issues, like how to install apache2 to begin with
I reckon slacker could be helpful but I haven’t found apache2 there.
Could you kindly help by giving your own tutorial on how to make Serviio work? That would be most appreciated.
Obviously it’s only if you find some spare time.
Thanks for reading this post.
Cheers from Warsaw

I have a DNS-325 with firmware 1.2. In trying to install fun_plug 0.7 it can’t unpack the tgz file. It fails with error
tar: invalid gzip magic
I’ve tried using the UnArchiver on my mac to do it manually, but that doesn’t work out either.
Any guidance?
Hi, if I install twonky on my dns-320 will it be able to stream .mkv files to my Samsung tv D series ?
Hi Uli,
I successfully installed funplug 0.7 on NAS DNS325 but at the end of transmission installation, it seemed i lost SSH connection (i got that promt “>” ).
So i rebooted the NAS then i couldn’t connect anymore using telnet “disable” or SSH (getting putty fatal error / network error:connection refused).
i re-actived telnet using the file you already provided to someone else then tried SSH activation command but got that error :
“open SSL version mismatch.built against 1000005F, you have 1000103F”
I’d like to recover that SSH connection.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Mike
I’ve bougth a DNS-320 and installed fun_plug but I think I have a problem (not sure): fun_plug script is executed only when I reboot the device via web interface; it does not work when I power up the unit.
Is it correct?
Thanks
Davide
I’ve followed the above steps, but stop at cannot telnet to DNS-325 after reboot. I copied the 2 files to top directory of my DNS-325 and reboot. After reboot, I opened Putty on my Windows7 PC tried to connect to DNS-325. the connection closed right after i hit connect on Putty. Any idea?
Problem resolved! I removed 2nd HDD in DNS-325, and after rebooted, I was able to telnet in and install Funplug, thanks.
Hello! Please tell me how to add Russian, or any other locale. That was not a en_EN.t8 ru_RU.utf8
Hi Dmitry,
download the locale on the D-Link homepage and upload it in the webinterface. You need to go to the download page of your device.
Best Regards,
Uli
Hello, Uli!
No, no! I have already installed the Russian language via the web interface. In other words, the web interface on my Russian. What I mean is that when I installed ffp 0.7 and I go to the device via SSH I want to install an additional Russian locale. How to do it from the command line? Which teams enter? For example: locale-a or dpkg-reconfigure locales? The last command is not working on ffp 0.7. I decided to try this: funpkg-reconfigure locales, but it does not work. What to do? Help please!
Hello, Uli!
Will you help me?
In the long stay!
Hello and thank you for this wonderful initiative. I installed the fun_plug and it was relatively painless. I wanted to install this plugin because I want to share the NAS between 2 different networks, like, 192.168.0.x/24 and 192.168.1.x/24. How do I do this? Could you please indicate some reading material? Thank you in advance, Rom Pereira
Is it possible to install third party software? I would like to install a ventrilo server on my NAS so I can leave it enabled 24/7. I have downloaded to Linux version but I don’t know how to install it on the NAS.
I attempted a procedure similar to the Java install but I am not very strong with Linux and the directory structure is confusing. Where should I place my ventrilo.tar.gz file in order to install it on the NAS?
I’m Trying to setup lighttpd on a dns320 with ffp0.7.
Is there a tutorial for this. Can’t get it to work.
