Incremental versioning shouldn't matter.
7.x.
I'm certain the paths for nginx are the same for all Incremental versions. Ports 80/443 have been used for DSM 7.0 ...and above by nginx.
It surprises me that the script works for other Incremental versions of v7,from what I'm seeing ...but not others. The script should either work for v7 or not. That being said...the script does work for freeing up port 80 ....just not port 443. There has to be another file that contains port 443 that the script is missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
