Subsonic Forum

I recently have delved down a huge rabbit hole in attempting to install Subsonic on my Seagate GoFlex Home NAS drive. Upon countless hours of research and working on this project I have hit a wall with my progress and I am looking to the boards for some assistance. The Goflex drive is written in UNIX and thats where I decided to start. I have SSH'd in to the drive, gotten root access with super user, and have copied the standalone version of Subsonic to the drive as well. The reason for working with the standalone version of SS was the Linux .RPM was not of i386 architecture and could not be installed. I have ran the .sh file and it says that it is running but, when I attempt to get to http://localhost:4040 there is nothing on the other end. My assumptions is that there needs to be a stable java environment on the drive. That's where I am looking to you fine people for support. Am I on the right track? Or am I going about this the wrong way completely? I'm pulling my hair out!

p.s. dont tell me to forward ports to the drive. I'm not overlooking something quite so simple.

Have you tried going to the IP address of the NAS device instead of "localhost"?

All that does is take me to the web based setup for the Seagate dive.

Im pretty sure if it was a java problem it would say there is an issue with java, however to see if java is in fact working type this...

Code: Select all

java -version

this should show something like...

java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

Installing java
The above link is a good guide for installing java on your server. I don't think the javac (jdk) is necessary.

However localhost wont work on another computer, which is what I think the issue is. You need to make a static ip on the nas, say make it 192.168.1.40 this in address bar type 192.168.1.40:4040 that should take you to subsonic

good luck
