I've been running Channels DVR on Windows Server 2022 for several months. Due to a hilarious string of events I had to remove and re-join the server to my Active Directory domain, which means I can no longer log into my old Windows user profile. it also means that Channels will no longer start.
I do have access to the old profile data so I have copied everything in %APPDATA% to my new profile, but when trying to start the app manually I get "Database failure: couldn't open settings.db: open settings.db: Access is denied."
- I have full permissions on all the files and folders (as far as I know). This error seems to also happen if you've installed Channels as a service, which I don't recall doing and don't see it in the list of Windows servers.
Since I can't start Channels I'm not able to get to the web interface to launch a backup or restore, as recommended in the "move Channels DVR to a new server" article. What's the best next step? I was thinking about re-installing Channels under this new profile and then re-re-copying the userdata over, but wanted to check with the experts in case re-installing Channels would cause some other sort of irreversible mayhem. Thanks in advance.
