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

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)

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.

192.168.1.9 is the IP address reported by Synology Control Panel's Info Network page and the wired IP address assigned to it according to my Netgear R7000 router. I also configured port forwarding to add 9790 TCP/UDP to 192.168.1.9 (although I don't really know what I'm doing, or if that's necessary).

The address of my wireless laptop is:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.7
IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same subnet).

I'm not sure what to look for in my windows firewall settings. I opened up "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security", clicked on "Outbound Rules" and sorted the Local and Remote Ports columns and 9790 was not listed. I turned off Windows Firewall for local and public networks, clicked on MinimServer again from the Main Menu which opened up the 192.168.1.9:9790 webpage again and still got "This webpage is not available."
