I am getting a "Config file error" when logging into my dahua NVR web GUI.

None of the names of the cameras are showing up nor is the video.

This happens on both Chrome, edge and IE. I reset browsers and also tested on other computers in the office with the same result.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE:

I reset DEFAULT on all Parameters
Had to reboot the NVR a few times after the default reset but now I no longer get the error and everything seems to be working as should...
 
I have got the same problem when i upgraded the firmware on an 4208-8p-4ks2. Any ideas how to solve this? (Going back a FW version didn't fix the problem)

Same here. I have a Dahua NVR 2104-4KS2 and the Web Interface is showing "Config file error" both in "Live" and "Search" page. Locally on the NVR instead, all is working fine.
I tried to restore default and also factory reset, but without success. In my case, the issue is present when I add more than one IP CAM.
Anyone who can help ?

I also noticed today that locally on NVR all is working.

I feel bad for you, but i am a bit relieved i am not the only one.

I think i solved it. But maybe not usable for you @Poli_88. My NVR has got a PoE switch build in.

I changed my camera manufacturer from ONVIF, to private. (So also from port 80 to 37777). I cannot pick Dahua, just a small list.

After doing this i am not getting the config file error anymore, and i am seeing the channels when i go to "search" :)

Only problem i still have, after reboot all the cameras are back to ONVIF.
