			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I asked CoPilot for some help on setting up FrontAccouting on a Synology and it pointed me directly to your post. I&#039;m no IT guy or DB guy but thanks to your instructions, I was able to setup FA on my synology. </p><p>I had a little issue with using with installation going to blank screen with a 504 error. Turns out that the installation process (writing tables to the database) took longer (2 mins 36 second) than the default timeout settings (120 seconds) in the webservice. Once I updated the webservice timeout to 360 seconds, the installation process continued to the end. </p><p>You instructions were spot on and worked for me. </p><p>So thanks!!</p>]]></content>
