  • Put Seafile server package in a simple path, like C:\seafile-packages.

Failed to create seahub.db

Use python version 2.7.11 32bit, do not use python 3+.

Can not upload/download files in the Web interface

Make sure you have modified SERVICE_URL in ccnet.conf. You can also modify SERVICE_URL via web UI in “System Admin->Settings”. (Warning: if you set the value both via Web UI and ccnet.conf, the setting via Web UI will take precedence.)

The browser can’t get the css and javascript files

  • Use python 2.7.11 32bit. If you have installed other python version, uninstall it and install python 2.7.11. Restart seafile server to see whether the problem has gone.
  • Delete non-ASCII keys from the registry path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type, and try again.
