OK Guys,
I'm going to but in here, as I think everyone is working too hard on this issue. ... what he's asking you to do is to go to the front page of Snake Oil Server wihch can be found at the IP address of the machine ... so in my house I open a browser and type in " 192.168.1.105" (MAKE SURE YOUR NOT ADDING A PORT NUMBER AS WELL or else you'll end up in your regular LMS menu) press enter. from that I get the very nice snake oil server management screen. the current one looks like the below picture, notice the version number on the right had side of the screen. Your running an old version, so it will look different, but the layout should be similar.

I'm gonna guess your going to want to upgrade your operating system. Think about installing ubuntu server 22.04 and following the Snake Oil install wiki , it is very very easy ... then attach your music drive to it.
If your music drive lives on the same drive as the OS, things are a little more challenging unless you partitioned the drive, If not i would recommend pulling the drive and then getting a drive caddy and getting all your music copied over to another machine, Install the OS and then put your music on a dedicated hard drive. That way if you need to redo your machine again, you won't be messing with your music drive.
this shouldn't be too difficult to get fixed, but your going to have to get your hands a little dirty here and look under the hood.
