Today I was setting up a new OES2 test server using some older hardware. Just when I had finished setting up all my OES services the disk decided to crash on me.

No big problem as I replaced the faulty hard drive, cleaned up related eDirectory objects for the crashed server and reinstalled the server.

All services installed fine except for iFolder. That gave the error ' failed to configure ifolder server '.
Trying to login to the admin page resulted in another error ' Your session has been closed, please log in '

Simply reinstalling or reconfiguring iFolder 3.6 did not fix the errors.

The following method is useful in situations where you have no large amounts of data stored within iFolder and can reinstall iFolder, thus saving you the trouble of having to re-setup the whole OES server again (or feel forced to move the iFolder service to another system).
