[Support] Error no Cmd4 Config found

[chefbenjamin]

Describe Your Problem: The issue is I’m getting is the error

no Cmd4 Config found in "/var/lib/homebridge/config.json

Which is a very similar issue to https://github.com/mitch7391/homebridge-cmd4-AdvantageAir/issues/35 I think that its something to do with deafult folder setups.

I’ve totally installed this 3 times now. https://github.com/homebridge/docker-homebridge/wiki/Homebridge-on-QNAP then https://github.com/mitch7391/homebridge-cmd4-AdvantageAir After reading an initial comment on github, I thought I had installed it wrong in the process ie installing HomeBridge Cmd4 Advantage Air before HomeBridge Cmd4, so I deleted everything and started again to end up with 100% the same error.

I’m running this on QNAP TVS-672 running QuTS hero h5.1.4.2596

HomeBridge is installed within in Container Station which is what I followed ( like in the ticket ) One thing I was concerned about was folders in the original setup.

I would normally seek out a qpkg file (compiled installer for QNAP ) opposed to running within Container Station as I’m more of a windows user than a Linux user.

I can confirm I see a response when loading the -AdvantageAir http://192.168.1.162:2025/ Advantage Air v15.1074

and then very detailed output http://192.168.1.162:2025/getSystemData so thats good !

But i think where I'm stuck is are the folders incorrect ? ie

my skills are basic at best in Ubuntu ( but amazing when supported by chatgpt ! )

any ideas how can I fix ?

@chefbenjamin cheers for the very detailed submission, that is always helpful! This weekend has been been flat out and I will take a look at this tomorrow for you :)

[mitch7391]

A quick idea before I take a proper look tomorrow could be this.

[chefbenjamin]

that was it - i didnt click the save button on CMD4 installation. I have just done it all again and bang it passed. Now I can start to setup things. Its always such a simple thing ! thanks for the quick replies.
