4.7 install help

[gurutech]

I was running 4.6 with the registration mod and the signature mod, with no problems.

Backed up my /var/subsonic and main web folder, then downloaded and installed 4.7 (final release).

Now I am getting an http 503 error - "service unavailable", with request url=/

I checked permissions on the subsonic folder and subfolders, and changed the owner to "root" (which is how I had 4.6 running.)

The only other change from default on 4.7 I made was increasing the max memory to 200 (from 150) in the /etc/sysconfig/subsonic file.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Oh, and I have restarted Subsonic a couple times already.... do I need to restart the whole server?

update: removed subsonic, then reinstalled. And it works.

BUT... it's not seeing any of my music files. I checked access to the music folder, and it was there, but I went ahead and deleted the media folder, then re-added, and it saw my playlists (which are stored in /var/playlists) and from there it was able to see whatever music I had in any of those playlists, but my entire library still could NOT be seen.

Any ideas?

Have you rescanned the media folders? - if so any errors showing in the SS log?

[gurutech]

rescanned several times, nothing in the logs

Have you checked to make sure that the file extensions for the file types you're scanning are entered into the Settings/General - Video files box?

[gurutech]

Yep, file extensions are listed. In fact, if I add my "videos" folder, it will see those with no problem. It's only the "music" folder that it doesn't see, and I have checked permissions between the two folders, and all are exactly the same.

[GJ51]

I'd try setting up a 3rd folder and putting a few test folders in there to verify that it can see the files. If it works, xfer the entire library, delete the original folder, then rename the new folder.

HTH

[gurutech]

Fixed it.... but I want to see how long this will last...

Changed my /etc/fstab file to mount my music folder under /media/music2 instead of /media/music, then created the ./music2 folder, and ran a mount -a, and then added the music2 folder to SS, and it's scanning away now...

Seems like there was a "ghost" folder configured somewhere, since at one point, SS was running but couldn't connect to that folder, and it "saved" that status.

I also had the same problem of getting the 503 error when upgrading to 4.7, and I've seen other threads about this as well. Never had this problem with previous upgrades. I rolled back to 4.6 with no problems, is this something that may be addressed as a bug fix in an upcoming release so we can feel comfortable upgrading safely?

Thanks Sindre for all you do!

The problem seems to be with "upgrading" versus a "clean install". Doing an uninstall (yum remove subsonic) of the old version, then install (yum install subsonic-4.7) seems to do the trick. (This method saves your settings)

My issue was a little more involved (and it is still "fixed!!") in being that my database was corrupted, due to some issues I had back with 4.6. I had to do the uninstall, then completely remove the /var/subsonic folder before reinstalling (which also removed my settings)
