what database server? its on the qnap, shouldn't the qnap act as the server? ans shouldn't the default admin user on the qnap work also for webcollab?

and where do i find this files? searched on the qnap, no [webcollab] folder.

This is caused by WebCollab not being able to connect to the database. This can be the wrong username/password for the database server, or that the database does not exist.

If you go into the file [webcollab]/config/config.php with a text editor and change the lines:

  //show full debugging messages on the screen when errors occur (values are "N", or "Y")
  define('DEBUG', "N" );

Change to:

  //show full debugging messages on the screen when errors occur (values are "N", or "Y")
  define('DEBUG', "Y" );

Save the file and you will get a bit more debugging information.
