Title: Direct link to AjaXplorer on DNS (320)
Post by: przemek on March 24, 2011, 02:09:26 AM
Does anyone know if  there is a way to launch\open and log into AjaXplorer on DNS-320 just by typing some address in web browser ?

AjaXplorer would be great for viewing photos and allowing friends to browse them over internet if there is only a direct link to it.  :)

Launching AjaXplorer via DNS management interface it's really inconvenient, don't mention that friends are gaining access to your other applications. Therefore in my opinion it is useless for that purpose in that way  :(

I'm sorry for late response and thanks for the interest.

Is that link "http://yourNASip/ajaxplorer/ " works in your case ?

I got redirected to "http://yourNASip/"  and NAS web interface login, and after that NAS web interface, just like after typing "http://yourNASip"   :(

IMO, I disagreed that Ajaxplorer is a useless feature, it allow remote user access to NAS local file without the need for additional client software.

As to TS answer, it's possible but need to install your own copy of Ajaxplorer or other PHP apps.

Hello,

I have almost the same question : Is there a way to access ajaxplorer through the web ?
e.g. typing http:\\NasPublicAddress_or_DynDNS:port?\ajaxplorer ?

Because otherwise I don't catch the necessity of this web interface (Ajax)...

Thank you in advance ;)

Login authentication is required before one is able to launch AjaXplorer apps.

The workaround is to install your own copy using the built-in web server.

Great ! Haven't thought about that; I'll try this today and let you know wether it works or not.
Thank you

Hi,

In the current implementation ajax is totally useless as you need to login in the NAS using login interface. Add fun_plug and install your own ajax or other application. (thanks to fun_plug)

Perhaps you like to share with the rest on how you install and setup AjaXplorer apps.

Just move to http://nas-tweaks.net/ (http://nas-tweaks.net/) , you'll find everything on how to install fun_plug and how to get deamon/packages.
For the rest, you need to know how to use a linux OS ( you can find a lot of how to , google is your best friend  ;) )

Do read probably, I'm not referring to fun-plug but AjaXplorer apps which is what this topic is all about.

To use an ajax  that is not linked to the original firmware you need to install fun_plug , then get ajax packages . After that it's up to you to manage it .
Or, just get the Open source firmware (on D-link FTP server)and rescript all (but it's harder)

With an ajax fun_plug version you can create a real ajax server , which means that people can acces ajax directly (not using the DNS-320 login page)

Edit : all credits goes to Uli that makes a really good job.
Edit2: Sorry for my english , it's not my native langage  :-[

No disrespect but apparently you have not setup AjaXplorer on this NAS before.

I installed it on my previous D-link NAS (a 323 that died) , as i wasn't satisfied with ajaxplorer i decided not to install it on my new 320 .

step :

install fun_mod
install lighttpd with PHP
Put last version of ajaxplorer in /ffp/opt/srv/www/pages/Xplorer.
run installation in lighttpd

So I was right, anyway there is no need to even install another web server since this NAS already has what you mentioned by default.

przemek was asking for a direct access to ajaxplorer (without using D-Link login screen) , it's the best way i could find to do this .

Read my reply again. What I'm saying it's possible to install AjaXplorer (latest ver) that allow direct access (no need to login via NAS webUI) and without the need to install yet another web server as suggested by you.

What I was asking from the beginning is a detail instruction on how to do so which will benefit others who are interested in this.

Read my first answer :

From the begining i was talking about fun_plug , so i don't understand your question as fun_plug include lighttpd ...

Let me ask you a simple question. Does the NAS by default come with a web server (aka lighttpd)? If yes then why the need to install another one? This is what I was trying to point out but apparently you just don't get it.

To put in layman term, it's possible to setup additional web apps using the default web server and that includes AjaXplorer. Of course fun_plug is still needed but only for shell access.

And from the beginning, I was hoping for a detail instruction on the setup/config of AjaXplorer since you had done it before but not on this NAS. I have encountered error and is still looking for a solution.

Hope I made myself clear this time round.
