MinimServer status was "stopped". I started it and now it is running agan.
This is the current log:
MinimServer 0.8.3 update 66, Copyright © 2012-2015 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
Java HotSpot™ Embedded Client VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)
Platform default charset is UTF-8
Language setting is 'enu'
starting MinimServer[DiskStation]
MinimServer: no content directory selected
MinimServer error: now stopped, use 'restart' or 'exit'

This is normal. It means that the "media server" component of MinimServer is stopped but the "network server" component is still running.

Quote:Do you think the inability to display the status page is due to the version of Java on my computer?
Since it is a 64-bit OS, when I installed and ran MinimWatch I got the error "C:\Program Files\MinimWatch\lib\ohNet.dll: Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform"

I followed the instructions on this page:
http://minimserver.com/install-windows-mwatch.html

downloaded
MinimWatch-0.8.3b-install-x64.exe (for 64-bit Windows)

and installed from here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/j...33155.html
this file
jre-8u45-windows-x64.exe

But before I installed the above file, I uninstalled the two Java programs already present in my Programs and Features Windows control panel. The only instance of Java installed is currenty "Java 7 Update 80 (64-bit) in my Windows 7 OS.

The version of Java and/or MinimWatch on your computer does not affect whether or not your web browser can display the Synology MinimServer web status page.

Quote:edit, I don't know why the log states "MinimServer error: now stopped, use 'restart' or 'exit' " while the package center states MinimServer is "running".

This message is slightly confusing. It means that the "media server" component of MinimServer is stopped but the "network server" component is still running. When MinimServer is in this state, it is possible to display the web status page.

Quote:2n'd edit:

just rebooted Synology again:
Package Center states MinimServer running and Java SE Embedded 7 (1.7.0_75-0031) running.
Java version installed on Windows is
Standard Edition Version 7 Update 80 (build 1.7.0_80-b15)

Log still shows MinimServer stopped

See above. This log output is normal.

Is it possible that the IP address (192.168.1.9) for the status web page is incorrect? What is the IP adddress of your PC that is running the web browser? Another possibility is that outbound connections from your PC to port 9790 on the Synology are being blocked by you PC firewall.
