I followed the directions on Installation - Seafile Admin Manual # Installation of Seafile Server Community Edition with MySQL/MariaDB
seahub.sh will not start. Is there a better link to follow for home server installs ?
Good morning! Can you share what is in the log files?
OK I found them /opt/seafile/logs
I don;t mind starting over this is a fresh instrall - I must have missed something in the instructions
