Just purchased this NAS today and have had no issues installing Plex media server on my unit, however when I go to start the app it opens a new tab and displays the following error (Chrome):
This site can’t be reached
192.168.86.58 unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
How can this be resolved? Has anyone had this problem before? I’ve searched to no avail.
For the initial installation you need to use http (instead of https) and your Mac should be connected locally to the same LAN (usually the same IP range) as the QNAP server.
Thanks for that. That has not fixed the problem - my NAS is on 192.168.58.xx and so is my Mac. I was absolutely trying to get setup via http and not https; the web interface for the NAS is also non-secure. What else could be causing this? I am seeing the same error when I try to access other services in a new tab from the QNAP unit.
It’s probably a network parameter, such as default gateway or netmask. If you install this you will have access to PMS logs (in File Station) and you can zip and post them here for further analysis.
Edit by dane22: Altered link to not go to specific release, but to latest, so it’s updated for future ref as well
Ok so I’m not sure what I’ve done but I managed to get the server connection working with Plex now - it just boots all of a sudden. I am still having an issue with Sickrage though, which I am also trying to get running (same error, new tab leads to ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). Is there a way to log this to show here?
