Webserver won't start #12

Greetings,
I don't know if you are actively supporting this product so I will keep this short. I have a QNAP TS231-P running whatever QNAP runs (firmware 4.3.4.0695) and I was very interested in trying pybootd. Sadly, it is a lot of effort to get bits of it running. The bootp process eventually started (I saw something in the pxe.log) but the webserver wont start as I believe the QNAP runs Apache 2.4 and the version in this package uses 2.2 and the two don't seem to want to run together. This is a very promising bit of software and I hoped it was usable but after a days work mucking about with apache conf files, I have given up. Even uninstalling it is a chore as it won't stop, start or uninstall from the QNAP web interface. I had to use the "hidden" uninstall script to get rid of it. I really wish there was some better documentation. I want to do a PXE install of a Raspberry Pi where it uses an iscsi LUN from the QNAP but I can't figure out what file is the best option. I would like the option of something like this:
host pi {
hardware ethernet b8:27:eb:1e:57:f7;
next-server 192.168.0.6;
filename "";
# Very important (Vendor-Option Option 43)
option vendor-encapsulated-options "Raspberry Pi Boot ";
}
Unfortunately, I don't know Python so I have no idea what all the Python scripts do and there is no documentation on them that I know of.

I hope you can find some time to respond. Please don't think I am being negative on this as I would be willing to help you get it up and running.

Best Wishes
Stephen
