One of my problems on Asustor ADM is to find files. Therefore, I will maintain and update this list regularly.
Configurations
| apache2.conf | /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/apache2/apache2.conf |
| apc.ini | /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini |

Log Files

Other Files
| apache modules | /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/apache2/mods-available/ /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ |

| session files | /tmp |
| web pages | /volume1/Web/ Owner: admin |
Notes
- When use ssh to login, use ssh root@[IP] or some files won’t be executable or editable.
- The web admin must be login with port 8000 by default.
Amigo's Technical Notes 
Beware, the configuration files in /volume0 are backups in case a factory reset is done. The running configuration can be found in /usr (for example, MySQL’s my.cnf can be found in /usr/builtin/etc/mysql/my.cnf)

Actually, some user settings are stored in the /volume0 tree. Also, quite a few files in /, /etc and /usr are actually symlinks to their /volume0 counterpart; for instance /etc/nas.conf is symlinked to volume0/etc/nas.conf which holds the ‘settings’ done via the ADM GUI.
If you try ‘ls -la /usr’ you’ll see that /usr/builtin is actually symlinked to /volume0/usr/builtin. So your example /usr/builtin/etc/mysql/my.cnf is actually /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/mysql/my.cnf.
Rather than considering /volume0 a “backup” it is better considered as the non-volatile part of the running system: the settings and configuration stored there will be preserved across a reboot.

Dear Deli,
It is still in beta. Many libraries are still not available yet. I do have problem with the new APCu library last time.
Have a nice day!

Hi, I’m trying to edit the /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/apache2/error
to change the standard 404 page but I really don’t know how to access to volume0.
Can you please help me?
(If it is possible I need a very very simple guide)
Thanks

Dear Gianluigi Loffreda,
You need to enable SSH login in ADM and use ssh command to login to your Asus NAS. You may google ssh for detail. You might need to install extra programs to use ssh in Windows.
Once login, change directory and use vi to edit error page. You may google vi for related commands.
Wish it helps!
Best regards,
Amigo

Really thanks Amigo, I’m trying to correctly edit my php.ini to make mail() function works under wordpress, using the mail server on the NAS but it seems not so easy as I hoped.
Thanks.

Dear Gianluigi Loffreda,
It’s not a good ideas to use QNAP as NAS due to its limited protection. It has TCP Wrapper but no iptable.
Besides, mail is more complex than it used to be. You need to follow many different standard to keep you out from a black list.
I suggest you use gmail as your mail server for testing. This is what I have done before.
P.S. I manage Postfix on Linux about 15 years before. 🙂
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Amigo

Hi Amigo! This page on Asustor ADM has helped me in the past – thanks! However, I believe some of the directories have changed since then. I’m looking for the file name (and directory) that is used to edit the web port that ADM listens to. The default is 80 I believe but I want to change that. Do you have any info on the file name and location?

I have initial my Asustor and will test it this month. You may use nmap to check which port is listening. I have created a post here: https://amigotechnotes.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/find-out-more-available-service-by-your-nas/
