One disk decided to fail in a QNap TS419 P II. I'm now running the 4-disk RAID5 system in a 3-disk degraded mode configuration, waiting for the faulty disk to be replaced. All files are visible and available.

I assumed the MinimServer to work on the system as it ever did, but I found it not to be available. In fact from the QNap OS (an older 3.8.1 version) the server showed as disabled, and enabling it didn't result in it actually enabling, a further check would show it as disabled again.

Since the MinimServer was an older version 0.6, I uninstalled it and manually installed the latest 0.8.2 version. Now from the QNap OS the server looks enabled, but still it's not visible from the outside, all softwares usually "seeing" it don't seem to detect it, and the MinimWatch do not detect it either.

Any suggestions? I would like the NAS' owner to use the NAS on Christmas holydays and I can't get the replacement HD before the new year's first weeks.

Have you checked the system log to see if there are any error messages from MinimServer?

To check whether MinimServer 0.8.2 is running on the QNAP, you can open the page http://x.x.x.x:9790 in a web browser, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the QNAP.

If the web page doesn't respond, this means that MinimServer has failed to start successfully. Please post back here with the result of this test and I will advise on next steps.
