With 15.2, there's no way to make MiniDLNA start at boot. Even when the setup page says "server enabled at boot", it does not start. I've also tested with "server is not enabled at boot" and obviously it doesn't start then either.

Hi hardy74,

It is amazing because this bug was present with version 15.0 and not 15.2.

To understand what happens, do :
- in minidlna menu, set "server enabled at boot".
- in putty,

Code: Select all

ls -l  /rw_fs/etc/minidlnaenable

, to check if the file is really present

Search also some fatal errors in /share/1000/minidlna/database/minidlna.log (maybe minidlna tries effectively to start...)

I noticed there was a newer 15.3. I'm right now installing that and hoping that MiniDLNA does start with this version.

It is the same with 15.3. MiniDLNA does start at boot, even when status is set to "server will be enabled at boot".

Here's the tail of minidlna.log, nothing relevant there I believe i.e it starts ok when started manually:

Hi Hardly,

Before restarting, your NAS, did you check if the file minidlnaenable is present in /rw_fs/etc

Jocko wrote: - in putty,

Maybe the folder /rw_fs/etc doesn't have the right permissions (should be 777)

I just test with a clean version 15.3, minidlna is running after rebooting if asked. :scratch

Note: but at least I found a small bug with transmission menu that displays wrong the enable-at-boot option status. ;)

Hi,

I did:

root@lacie:/ # ls -l /rw_fs/etc/minidlnaenable
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 2014-09-14 18:28 /rw_fs/etc/minidlnaenable
root@lacie:/ # chmod 777 /rw_fs/etc
root@lacie:/ #

Strangely, after this, the setup page reported MiniDLNA as NOT set to start at boot, even though I had set it to start. I clicked to make it start, booted the box, and this time it did start. Hmm...

Thanks :)

So I assume that /rw_fs/etc didn't have run permissions for all user.

But wait if all stays ok after few times...

Still ok, after a few boots.

Note though that I've never touched the system "manually", i.e. I've never done anything in the shell inside the Lacie. So whatever was wrong, came with the ROM. Sorry :)
