Please, can anyone help me? or recomend another dnla server?
Is the directory
/media/datadisk/Music/alexoveexistent and accessible by root? Maybeselinuxis preventing your server from starting? Check withgetsebol.Hello thomaswood the path exists and is accesible by root, I check the selinux booleans and I get:
You could try to disable
selinuxin/etc/selinux/configby settingSELINUX=disabled. After that you need to reboot. I am not sure if you can disableselinuxon the fly withsetsebool. If you need the security ofselinux, you also might want to configureselinuxaccordingly to runminidnla.
