[Solved]Minimserver not starting automatically on Raspberry Pi

I will try to tinker with this and see if I can get it working.

Since it's working for you, I was thinking whether the installation setup could have made a difference.

I work with a Mac. When I download the .tar.gz file on the Mac, OSX automatically unpacks it into a .tar file.

I then transfer this file to the RPI using the Finder on the Mac (I have previously installed samba on the RPi so I just drag and drop).

Then I unpack that pile, which seems to produce the relevant directories. After that I follow the instructions on your site, so I nave went into 0.8.1.

Could this somehow make a difference?

From my side, I will redo the whole procedure, see what happens and then report back.

Unpacking the .tar.gz file to a .tar file on the Mac shouldn't cause a problem.

I think the problem is caused by "so I nave went into 0.8.1". The instructions on the website are:

cd /home/pi
tar xf MinimServer-0.8.1-linux-armhf.tar.gz
minimserver/bin/setup

You need to follow these exactly and run minimserver/bin/setup from the /home/pi directory, as I said in a previous post. If the .tar.gz file was unpacked on the Mac, you should do:

cd /home/pi
tar xf MinimServer-0.8.1-linux-armhf.tar
minimserver/bin/setup
