Serviio

Just installed latest Serviio 2.4.2 on my Macbook Pro M1 running Sonoma 14.7.5. Install worked flawlessly after invoking Serviio-2.4.2.pkg.
I double-clicked the Serviio-Console.app and get a window that states from Serviio-Console-Wrapper "Cannot connect to the server, it doesn't seem to be running...:

After trawling the forum, I learned how to set debug mode on in log4j2.xml then tried to restart. This is the error message.....

I thought the log looked weired as it reported wrong version. So I rebooted. Version is correct now but still get same results.

I wonder if there are remnants of the old serviio install somewhere. If so where will they be and how do I delete them?

so I sorted it. There were old remnants of a previous serviio install.
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Serviio
sudo rm -rf /Users/b***y/Library/Application\ Support/Serviio*
deleted the app from Applications folder.
Reboot.
Re install the pkg.
All good.

Ah yes. I've had issues in the past with leftover bits of programs when using an -nix based OS. And that's the core of the MacOS now, a form of Unix. Glad you found the issue.
