subsonic on suse 10 cant get it working

[vega77]

when i try to access: http://localhost:8080/subsonic/
i get this message:
HTTP Status 404 - /subsonic/

type Status report

message /subsonic/

description The requested resource (/subsonic/) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.0

I'm using suse 10 i386.
t first i got some permisson errors when starting tomcat manually.
but i changed ownership to tomcat:tomcat.
tomcat now starting without error.

Difficult to say, but apparently the Subsonic war file hasn't been deployed properly. Please check that <TOMCAT>/webapps directory contains both "subsonic.war" file and a "subsonic" directory (the latter is created automatically by Tomcat).

I have bout subsonic.war and a subsonic directory in:

/srv/www/tomcat5/base/webapps

[sindre_mehus]

Hm, maybe it's related to the permission problem you mentioned earlier. Try the following:

1. Stop Tomcat
2. Remove the /srv/www/tomcat5/base/webapps/subsonic directory
3. Start Tomcat
4. Go to http://localhost:8080/subsonic/ and if that fails, try http://localhost:8080/subsonic/index.jsp

If you still have problems, have a look in the logs in /srv/www/tomcat5/base/webapps/logs.

You could also try to upgrade to the latest Tomcat version.

Hope this helps

can you recommende a linux distro for use with subsonic ?
I'm currently planning on upgrading my filserver and add subsonic too it.
So i'm flixible in choice of distro.

[sindre_mehus]

Any distro should work. I don't have a Linux system myself, so I can't really recommend one in particular.

However, I strongly recommend to install the latest version of Tomcat.

Good luck,
Sindre
