HELP - cannot configure Minimserver - Nayags1 - 12-09-2021 09:08
Any help is much appreciated!
I have just converted my QNAP NAS from RAID to JBOD. All data has been reinstalled without problems. I am able to get Linn Kazoo (the Windows App I use to browse my music to direct to my Linn Streamer) to see and recognise the QNAP streaming app. However although I installed MinimServer manually without problem (although it did flash briefly during the installation - "minimserver error could not create a shared folder") and it did create a launch icon on the QNAP control page. Everytime I click on this icon and try to launch it, it fails to connect to the :9790 port.
These are the measures I have tried to no avail:
1. disabled the Firewall (Eset Antivirus)
2. Made sure "Use a proxy Server" is off in Windows 10
3. Switching everything off and on again in the sequence recommended on the website
Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what I may have missed? Thanks is advance!
PS Minimserver was working fine when the setup was previously used as a RAID configuration.

If MinimServer could not create a shared folder for its its configuration data, it will not be able to run. This problem needs to be solved before you will be able to use MinimServer.
Please post the QTS configuration screens that show the storage settings for your JBOD setup.

Thank you Simon. I am not sure which pages on the QTS configuration pages you mean and how do I attach a file or screen grab to this reply?

I meant the pages (or page) you used when you changed your disk configuration from RAID to JBOD.

Also, in App Center, please click Volume info (close to the top of the page) and post a screenshot showing what this displays.
MinimServer tries to create its configuration shared folder on the volume that was used to install MinimServer. The error message you saw is produced if the MinimServer installer could not create a shared folder on this volume.

In view of the frustration I have faced, I removed the JBOD and created a static volume and used all 4 disks in Raid 5. Then I tried to install Minimserver. It told me I needed JRE. So I had to install that. So when I next ran the installation of MinimServer, the same problem started. That is, a failure to create a shared folder. So it must be something else I have done wrong. I have not transferred all my music data back to the simple volume as yet as if you need me to re-do the whole thing, then I can without too much waste of time. Once again, I thank you for your support, Durai.

Thanks very much for posting these screenshots. Please login to a terminal window (ssh or putty) and run the following command:
/sbin/getcfg MinimServer Install_Path -d "" -f /etc/config/qpkg.conf
What is the output from this command?

No output after the second command.
