The server changed from https to http. Now the clients won’t sync. How can I change the server address on Windows on the client side?
Anyone, please?
A strange question. If you have used https before you have used a reverse proxy like apache2 or nginx and your server had an certificate to validate this. If you are moving to http, means without secoure connection you have to change many things. On the server side the config for seafile to use http instead of https. And on the config files for apache2 or nginx.
On the client side it’s easy. Just change the address in the seafile client. Or if you just use a browser use http as address.
There’s not settings for changing the address on the client side. That’s the issue.
I had to look for it and it’s not where I thought it would be.
Launch the sync client and in the upper left of the application window next to the account (user) name there is an icon or avatar. Click on the icon and a menu will appear with Account Settings where you can modify the URL for the server.
I am looking for a place to change server ip in the settings too, but on the Mac client, cant find any place on the GUI, is there a config file somewhere ?
You can edit the .plist file using this trick https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/5279.
For Seadrive, the path is /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.seafile.Seafile Drive Client.plist.
Remember to close the client before, and reopen it after the change
Thanks , I was able to find the setup file and to delete the old server IP address which i could not from the GUI
For those interested, to delete the old copy of the files i went into “~/Library/CloudStorage/”
