The package I have in the public share is ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-vfp-sflt-server-headless-27-aug2013.tar.gz
After downloading it with Safari it was missing the gz suffix, so I manually added that. It does show in the log that it's installed, though initially right after the manual install there was an error message.

This is the same problem as described in this post.

To fix it, you need to do the following:

1) In your Safari preferences (General page), uncheck the box at the bottom of the page (Open "safe" files after downloading)

2) Delete all previously downloaded Java SE Embedded files from the Downloads folder on the Mac

3) Download the Java SE Embedded file again

4) Check the Downloads folder to make sure this has produced a file with the .tar.gz extension and a different size than the previous downloaded file

5) Delete all Java SE Embedded files from the Public folder on the QNAP

6) Copy the newly downloaded Java SE Embedded file from the Mac to the Public folder on the QNAP

7) Uninstall the MinimServer package and the JRE installer package from the QNAP

8) Install the QNAP JRE installer package (JRE_7 version)

9) Enable the QNAP JRE installer package

10) Install the QNAP MinimServer package

Quote:I just tried downloading the 6/7 version of the package. And again the log shows it installs but I still get the same error message when going to manually install the minim server.qpkg file. And the error does not appear in the log.

If "the 6/7 version of the package" refers to an older version of the QNAP JRE installer package, you should not use this older version. You should use the JRE_7 version, as linked from the MinimServer installation instructions.

Quote:Also in Finder, under the Shared section, I now have three entries 'icc-qnap' 'JCC-QNAP(AFP)' and 'JCC-QNAP(SMB)' -- is that normal? It seems they all show the same file structure.

This is probably related to the file sharing services that you have enabled on the QNAP. AFP and SMB are different file sharing protocols. You probably have both of these enabled.
