After install Emby on Synology 7.2.2 72806 update 3 URL gives " forbidden"

[karbo 2]

I've  installed  Emby  (4.8.11.0) on Synology (7.2.2 72806 update 3), and I try to open the URL http://192.168.0.25:8096/web/index.html, a page opens and shows " forbidden" (in both Firefox and Chrome).

So, now I'm stucked because the wizzard is not starting.

I'm not using a VPN or so, I'm just in my private network. I've had Emby running a few years ago but had a synology system crash. Had to reinstall synology and now after quit a while, I try to install Emby again. But no luck so far.

Any ideas?

Hi, can you please show a screenshot?

 Was this a new install of Emby? Did you just do the server startup wizard?

Hi,

thanks for the quick response.

I installed it new. but it might be that there was an old install already present from before the system crash. The OS was reinstalled at a certain point. Perhaps that's playing tricks?

OK I would suggest shutting down the server and then deleting the server data folder:

Emby Server Data Folder

When you start back up, it should be a fresh start at that point. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

OK. I'll do that later this week. I let you know for sure

Hi Luke,

I've followed your advice and now it's working fine!

Thank you for you help.

Schade, dass ein falscher Klick das Programm unbrauchbar macht.
Und dann diese Anleitung zur Reparatur zum "Serverdatenordner löschen" die nur was für Experten ist.
Ich bin enttäuscht, dass bei so viel guter Programmierarbeit dieser Fehler passieren kann.

Alles hat super funktioniert bis ich mich verklickt habe. Nun muss ich wohl doch wieder zu Plex wechseln.
Schade.

I'm disappointed that with so much good programming work, this error can happen.

Everything worked great until I made a mistake. Now I guess I have to switch back to Plex.
What a pity.

Technically you do not have to do that assume you are capable of navigating to the system.xml and correcting a config that you applied.  But some platforms are not as easy as others.  On can break other systems just as easy.

Технически вам не обязательно это делать, если вы можете перейти к файлу system.xml и внести изменения в конфигурацию, которую вы применили. Но на некоторых платформах это не так просто, как на других. Кроме того, можно легко нарушить работу других систем.

Подскажите какие изменения нужно внести в system.xml что бы запускался Emby.

Tell me what changes need to be made to the system.xml for Emby to start.

Really depends on what you applied on the Networks menu.
