Okay so I tried to upgrade from 4.7 to 5.12a this morning but failed somewhere, so i wiped my USB stick and copied the new 5.12 folder over ran the make_bootable and plugged back into the server. I've assigned my drives and have installed unmenu and sorted the shares to show as they previously did (Media, Documents etc.) I have also run the permissions script but when I click on my old shares and also the disk1, disk2, disk3, flash and cache shares I get a windows error

 

"\\Tower\Documents refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or you network, and then try again. If it still cannot be location, the information might have been moved to a different location."

 

I'm not sure what I've missed here but I can access the files through the shares using the web GUI , i've also reset the server a couple of times.

 

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

I'll take a wild guess that since you started over instead of upgrading, you changed unRAID's IP address?

 

It sounds like DNS is pointing to the old \\tower IP Address.

 

it was something much simpler, thanks for the reply though

the passwords on my windows accounts were associated to the old version of unraid rather than new, tried accessing on my htpc and it worked after i posted above so just reset my main pc and from there it worked

thanks a lot
