Roonserver does not launch.
I’ve rebooted Roonserver
Rebooted the sonicTransporter
Rebooted the network
Reinstalled Roonserver and the done all of the above again.

No joy.

Any thoughts?

I’m not experiencing any issues so far with build 952 on my sT i5.
Have you enabled local playback?

If you have, then I suggest that you contact Andrew Gillis @ SGC.

Why would I do that? There is nothing attached to the Core machine other than the files drive and Ethernet. UPDATE: I tried it, and Roonserver launched fine. Why does that work?

Do you know if I can I delete Roonserver and reinstall it from the Web interface on the sonicTransporter and reinstall it without losing my database?

I’m glad that it worked.

I’m not sure why it does, but I recall it being mentioned previously (either by Andrew Gillis, or on this forum).

I can’t comment viz deleting & reinstalling, as I’ve not tried it…

Thanks very much.

Yes you will lose it unless you have Roon db backup.
At the bottom page of the new Roon server reinstall you will be asked to restore backup.
What ever was saved in your last backup will be restored.

If you have no db Roon back up you will sign into your account and start the entire process again.

I backup up everyday because I do a lot of editing.
