iTunes Server

iTunes Server will not stay enabled on ReadyNAS 214 - I've had this problem for some time. Following other suggestions in posts, I believe that the default configuration file is missing (at least it is not present when I download "everything" from the Settings> Configurations Backup Menu.  Is it possible to get a copy of the iTunes configuration files? And is there a process for me to upload those files manually?

 

Thanks in advance.

    It's named forked-daapd.conf, and it is in /etc/default/config/etc of the configuration backup zip.

      Thank You - I did find the configuration file data where you indicated.  I checked the log files and found the following (thoughts?):

        It's not a service I use, so I have no tips on troubleshooting it.
