Hi,

I am trying to install a Lorawan network server on a local computer following the instructions provided here: How to create a LoRaWAN server on local PC (1/2) - STMicroelectronics Community

I am installing it on a Window 10 machine, and had an error " format: "Failed to create cookie file 'h:/.erlang.cookie': enoent" when ran lorawan-server.bat in Windows command line console (as an administrator). Just wondering if anyone had same experience and how to fix it? 

Thanks,

Olive

Note that the server is a 3rd-party open-source project - not an ST product:

So that would be the place to get support for it:

Addition to the information I posted above, I don't have a hard drive named "h" on my PC. I have no idea which file is requiring it and where to modify it.

Thanks for the reply! I will try lorwan server support then.

Just would like to give a follow-up regarding the above issue: The lorawan server was installed successfully on an old Windows 7 PC without any issue following the instructions provided in the post: How to create a LoRaWAN server on local PC (1/2) - STMicroelectronics Community

I was not able to install the application server as the node-red does not support Windows 7.
