I'm a first-time MinimServer user, and having installed according to the instructions (hopefully!), I get the following error message:

"MinimServer start error: see system log."

Unfortunately, the system log provides no further details. I took a quick look around the forum to see if anyone else had the same problem, and tried looking for the log files in the /homes/minimserver directory but the directory doesn't exist although the package reported that it installed correctly.

My setup details are as follows:

Synology DS411j
DSM 5.2-5592 Update 1
Java 1.8.0_51
MinimServer 0.8.3d

I'd be very grateful for any pointers on what to do next.

Cheers
Pete

I haven't seen this problem myself and I don't know what is causing it.

The /homes/minimserver folder was replaced some time ago by the MinimServer shared folder. You can view this folder using File Station.

The message you are getting doesn't refer to a log file in the MinimServer shared folder. It refers to a message in the DSM system log that you can view using Log Center in the DSM main menu. Are you sure there are no messages in this log that relate to MinimServer?

Another user had this problem recently and solved the problem by updating DSM and reinstalling Java. See this thread for details. Please let me know whether this solves this problem for you. Many thanks!
