Subsonic Forum

EDIT: Decided not to bump this thread since it's so old. I have since upgraded to Leopard and everything works fine.


I've subscribed to this post, so will read and reply quickly to help.

I'm trying to get Subsonic to work on Mac OS X 10.4.11

I've put it in /private/var/subsonic/standalone, as Mac has var inside the private folder. Changed permissions so Subsonic has read/write access.

Running the .sh script in Terminal gives me this:

/private/var/subsonic/standalone/subsonic.sh: line 16: /bin/java: No such file or directory


Any help here? I DO have Java, I know that for a fact. I don't think that $JAVA_HOME is defined properly in Mac.

Thanks in advance!

modify your subsonic.sh:

Code: Select all

SUBSONIC_HOME=/private/var/subsonic/standalone


Next, find out where your java is, usually most *nix can use which to do so:

Code: Select all

which java


take the result and modify your subsonic.sh again:

replace

Code: Select all

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java


with the full path to your java binary

Thanks! Almost fixed, now I get this:

Code: Select all

Unable to access jarfile subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Tried sudo'ing it too, no luck. The file is definitely there.

Here's my sh file so far:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# The directory where Subsonic will create files. Make sure it is writable.
SUBSONIC_HOME=/private/var/subsonic/standalone

# The port on which Subsonic will listen for incoming HTTP traffic.
SUBSONIC_PORT=8080

# The context path (i.e., the last part of the Subsonic URL).  Typically "/" or "/subsonic".
SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH=/

# The memory limit (max Java heap size) in megabytes.
MAX_MEMORY=64


/usr/bin/java -Xmx${MAX_MEMORY}m  -Dsubsonic.home=${SUBSONIC_HOME} -Dsubsonic.port=${SUBSONIC_PORT} \
-Dsubsonic.contextPath=${SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH} -jar subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar


Replacing ${SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH} with the full path to subsonic doesn't work either.


Thanks in advance!

Try adding full path to the jar file, e.g ${SUBSONIC_HOME}/subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar

edit:
If that doesn't work, you can modify the classpath, the command line should then look like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/java -Xmx${MAX_MEMORY}m  -Dsubsonic.home=${SUBSONIC_HOME} -Dsubsonic.port=${SUBSONIC_PORT} \
-Dsubsonic.contextPath=${SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH} -cp ${SUBSONIC_HOME} -jar subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar
