Timeout and no log directory - kenkahn - 2025-10-15

I installed Jellyfin Server on my Windows 11 system. When I try to start it I get the message 

Could not start Jellyfin server process after the specified wait period. You can find the Server Logs at:
E:\Program Files\Jllyfin\Server\Log

First thing is there is no Log directory. Could the program have still put it on my C drive somewhere even though I installed it on my E drive? Second is the wait period timeout. What is this and how do I change it?
