Getting a 404 when I try to access Photostation

[SR-71]

I have exactly the same problem, except:

a) I can't seem to access Photostation using https even though accessing filestation automatically goes to https.
b) When clicking on the Photostation icon it goes to PS internally without any problem, externally it comes up with my ISP's error page. Port forwards are set correctly as I can access DS externally.
c) When logging in externally as another user and then clicking on PS icon it opens in another window but just searches ie. no page is found.

I think there's a bug in the latest firmware too!

[SR-71]

On further investigation I thought it may be some problem with HTTP SERVICE SETTINGS (under DSM settings). So I unchecked the "automatic redirect to https" yet this didn't work either. It seems that Photostation is http only yet when you connect on the LAN it works fine however externally (Internet) you cannot go to the /photo directory. Seems like the php code is dodgy as https://<EXTERNAL-IP:5001> works fine yet the coding in DS 4.0 redirects the Photostation icon to http://<EXTERNAL-IP>/photo/login.php?sid=......

I may be having a similar problem as I am experiencing the same errors when I try external connections. I thought it was just me and my initial attempts at getting the DS211j DSM4.0 up and running with EZInternet. I have tried http and https as well as a few different port #'s, 5005 being the one that shows on my internal IP when connected and working.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hi All,
I've got the exact same problem with my DS211j.. Photostation was working fine until the last update to DSM 4.0.2198. Tried plenty of settings (new ports, port forwading on the router, Https...) to have it back with no luck.
Can't access photostation from outside or even on the lan.. keep getting the same 404 "page you're looking for doesn't exist.."
Even told a friend who's running a DS212 not to update it until the issue was solved.. or until I could understand why photostation isn't working..

PLEASE SOMEONE TO HELP ME (US)!! :evil

Hi all

I can confirm. I have same problem here.

My firmware is: 4.0-2198
My DS: 211j

My DSM Running on https

DDNS: aktiv on DSCloud

clicking on Photostation link in DSM over internet I am geting http with default Port: 80 link and geting response 502 Bad Gateway

when I replace http with https and add my own Port I am geting 404 and "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found."


what is wrong here?

Thanks for the replies which seem to confirm a problem in the 4.0 DSM. Thought I might be alone out there!

I hope Synology can help with this as soon as possible. I really enjoyed the PhotoStation function.

+1... I am getting same thing

[hondy72]

+1, I get the same thing using my dyndns domain. Using LAN IP I can get Photo Station.

Works properly again after updating DSM to 4.0-2219!

[iczboi]

Me too. I am not able to access from within LAN or outside LAN.

[Alex406]

Did update to 4.0.2219 with no success.. still getting the 404 error

Try changing the Router Port on the DSM setting to your Diskstation IP/Hostname instead of your router's. That worked for me.

I have DSM 4.0.2228 and did set in "DSM settings" the port of the router forwarded to my Synology (for HTTP and HTTPS) as well as my hostname, but without success

O.

[Edit] I did uninstall the Photo Station and did reinstall it, but it didn't solve anything

Hi,

I got the same problem : couldn't connect to PhotoStation even in LAN. I resolved the problem by adding an alternative HTTP port to connect :

-Go to the config. panels -> web services -> HTTP services
-Check the box to enable an alternativ HTTP port, then type in a chosen port.
-Valid.
-Don't forget to forward the chosen port from your router to your DiskStation.
It worked fine for me !

Ok so I have been thinking I was crazy and made mention in a post but have been searching for this thread specifically. I am new to Synology and this has not worked since I have been playing with it.

My behavior is that I can get it to work over HTTP but it did not automagically open the HTTPS (which is all I am willing to open up externally) functionality .

I couple thing I have noted so far. First off... at least the above posting imples to me that they are attempting to hit the wrong port. The Photostation uses standard HTTPS 443 same as web station and mail station.

Second... Per my Control panel, Https Auto-redirection will not automagically work for this add-on.

Now from what I can tell... I should expect that enabling theHTTPS connection setting under the CP > DSM settings panel would enable photostation on 443... but it has not worked for me.

With all of this said ... I am pretty confident we could make it work via manual configuraiton... which I have done on real linux builds with a mild understanding of what I am doing, but was really hoping to not have to do here.

I read some people post that they got this working for one reason or another. Can someone confirm that this is suppose to allow access on port 443 once the HTTPS is enabled on the DSM.

If I have to go at it and hack up the .htaccess I may do so... or I may just start a proper Synology ticket. Either way I will post whatever happens to me on here.

In my reading there are some other security concerns with Photo Station as well... so maybe it is not even worth it.
