Can't start service

[daneren2005]

So I decided it was past time to get MusicCabinet running on my own server. If for no other reason, I want it to be able to better support users are using it. So I went about duplicating everything from the default install so that it starts/stops the same, but with using the runtimes/scripts from the standalone installer. I then copied over the entire /var/subsonic folder over to /var/musiccabinet so that it imports all my old settings. Everything appears to start up correctly, but when I try to go to my site, it gives me this error:

HTTP ERROR: 503

Problem accessing /musiccabinet/. Reason:

Service Unavailable




So when I look inside of subsonic_sh.log I see this:

net.sf.ehcache.CacheException: Disk store path can't be created: /var/www/subsonic/ecache
... 40000000000000 lines of intermediate steps
at net.sourceforge.subsonic.booter.Main <init>(Main.java: 24)
at net.sourceforge.subsonic.booter.Main.main (Main.java: 63)

Now this is probably a permissions issue, but my question is why is it trying to create a file at /var/www/subsonic in the first place? I've poured over the configs over and over again, and there is absolutely nothing that points to that directory. Everything points to /var/musiccabinet, which mirrors the original installation at /var/subsonic.

PS Everything still works on the main installation fine.

What distro are you running? I have musiccabinet running on Arch Linux from the same folder (/var/musiccabinet) with the following subsonic.sh file:

The main changes I had to make were the SUBSONIC_HOME folder at the top of the config file and I had to change the reference to the jar file and war near the bottom to match the one in the standalone zip.

Thanks for pointing that out! I haven't looked at the ehcache configuration lately (it was used heavily in Subsonic 4.6 but not anymore) but now that I look at it, I realize that I changed it back then and that I should clean it up now that those days are past.

The reason it is trying to create a file there is because of this: https://github.com/hakko/subsonic/blob/ ... hcache.xml
I should use java.io.tmpdir instead of user.home.

[daneren2005]

@shadow.8: I'm using Ubuntu. My subsonic.sh file looks pretty identical to that one as well

@hakko: So now that you know the cause, it is:
a) a simple fix
b) going to go into the next release? I'm no hurry, so I am more then fine with waiting for it to get fixed to get started. I'm just curious whether I can expect it in there or not.

[hakko]

My plan for the next release is to build some more auto-tests for the REST 1.8 interface thing, and fix what people report here related to that. This is a quick fix so I'll add it too, somebody else reported it before but I didn't realize then that I should do something about it.

[hakko]

The cache is now stored in a temp directory (meaning any account should have write access), and I've tested deleting playlists and adding songs to playlists using DSub, so hopefully you'll get less error reports on that from now on.

That is awesome. Thanks for all the good work on this fork
