Thanks Ian

Expected there would be a simple solution. Unfortunately it seems the power supply of my server has died (at least I hope its not the mobo) so I have yet to replace it to put things right. I'll let you know if it works when I get round to putting an old psu into the server.

cheers

Hi been a while since I've posted, but I've encountered a problem setting up mythtv, and hopefully someone knows what I'm doing wrong to correct me. I expect it's something really simple, but I'm banging my head off a brick wall at present. I've done a fresh install of 12.04 and have made my first a...

Hi My server acts as a media streamer and as such only gets used a handful of times every month; to this end I'd rather not leave it on permanently, but at the same time I also don't want to be bothered with physically turning the thing on and off. I have wake on lan functioning to turn the server o...

Hi So, I recycled an old/ unused pc to be my server. All appeared to go well. Have set up OS on a CF card (slow, but works fine, and is silent). Set up trial data drives using small SATA drives - all ok. Ordered a new 2 tb drive with the intention of installing into server, and copying files from 2t...

Hi I've just added a new 2TB drive that I will use to store films etc. I have successfully formatted and mounted the drive as /media (the media directory now indicates that it is 1.7TB in size), however permissions are set to 'root' and I as a user cannot create new folders etc to migrate my data to...

Hi Ian No need to apologise what so ever - I am extremely grateful for your efforts and willingness to help. The changes you suggested seem to have worked - I can open the web interface. I've not yet attempted the configuration as I've not yet installed all the drives I wish to include - I'll probab...
