new installation of r2 with lots of errors need help

[jmwills 284]

ikon raises a valid concern about resources.  How much RAM is in the server and what sort of processor? 

 

I would sell this person on backup and data integrity before I let them talk to me about media streaming.

Qb will normally only be one person..at max will be three users. Box is an i5 4gb ram (needs at least 8 I feel) 256b ssd for os and 2tb for storage.. streaming would be to the xbox or smart tvs as I understand setting up the media server will serve anything with dlna right?

Yes for 8 gigs and I think that will be enough for your media streaming requirements too.  Processor is more than adequate.

I would call QB about having concurrent users. If you just allow multiple people to run QB and access a central database, you could be in for some serious data corruption. I'm saying this because you haven't, as far as I can tell, mentioned anything about installing a QB Database Manager on the server. Having multiple people access the same data files, at the same time, is a recipe for disaster.

Not if it's using an iteration of SQL

Qb database manager is installed on server and confirmed users and files connected.

From the time I was dealing with QB I don't recall seeing anything about SQL Server.

Excellent. I can't see there being any issues with corruption as long as the DBMS is in place.
