This means that MinimServer has failed to start for some reason. Please try the following:

1) On the Pi, open a Terminal window
2) cd to the directory where you installed MinimServer (if this isn't your home directory)
3) Enter the command: minimserver/bin/starti

What messages are displayed in the Terminal window?
