After years of trouble free service my PC died from a power-outage induced surge. I have built a new one and have NPVR running but ... can't get my NMTs up! I get to the NPVR.html menu, but when I click NPVR I get the dreaded message. This is a Windows 10 PC, I have edited npvr.cgi to use my username and password for mounting /etc/mvpmc (using vim as the editor) and substituted my sharename in the NPVR.html. I have C:\mvpmc shared with Guest and with my personal id. Windows Firewall has npvr in the allowed program list. One strange thing is that if I use the network browser on the PCH and navigate to the media server it says no content found. Below is the Syntax Checker output. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Bumping my thread here. I've tried to fix this on and off but still no joy. I've tried editing all the files in the mvpmc dir, currently npvr.cgi loks like this (password x'd out). The IP address is correct, can't find any errors in my windows or npvr logs. I've added the guest user registry hack described on this site, C:\mvpmc is shared with everyone, guest,guests and drbenjamin. thanks for any suggestions

I see at least two things in your original post

- from the Dummies Guide you have to change from the Auto format
- It doesn't look like you let NMT Install create things so the call to npvr.cgi may not work it should be something like this if you used the defaults

Code:

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/MEDIA-SERVER:mvpmc/npvr.cgi">N-PVR</a>

For Windows 10 you may need to enable 40-56 bit encryption.

Thanks Martin. I reinstalled NMT using the NMTInstall2 from the Wiki. I named my share on the PCH back to MEDIA-SERVER:mvpmc. Now my NMTChecker gives

This time I am getting to a white screen with black text saying

mount \\192.168.1.15\mvpmc i

I have left the following line in npvr.cgi

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.15/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw

Do I need to change the username? For some reason I though I needed my Windows credentials in that spot but now I"m not sure.

#Edit - changed the mount line to use my windows login instead of "root" and it all works. Looking back between my original install and this new one I don't see any differences that account for the failure, but it's working and my WAF is back up

thanks again

Great. Root would only work if you have your PC share open, you have it restricted which I don't recommend because it makes support harder.
