Problem Description: Subsonic stopped working, I restarted, didn't work, reinstalled and got the following two messages:

Troubleshooting Steps: I have restarted subsonic, the server, reinstalled, not working.

Java Memory Limit: Don't know.
Problem Filename: It says

Last ten log file lines: Can't get there

When I load the site through an SSH VNC tunnel, and go to localhost:4040, I get

%
HTTP ERROR: 503
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

RequestURI=/

Powered by jetty://

I'm not sure what to do. I love my subsonic server and I purchased premium to support to the project, but it's been broken for a week now, I don't have much linux experience, and I just want my music back. :/

I have encountered same error message:
HTTP ERROR: 503
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

I think it is something wrong with the http service on the server subsonic site

Also, I've kind of narrowed down the problem, but I'm not entirely sure if what I'm looking at is a directory permissions issue or an issue with subsonic.

I tried installing Madsonic just to see what would happen and got the exact same message that I got when it wasn't working for subsonic.

It seems like something is wrong with the script, whether that's permissions to execute it or actually the code? I don't know, I have never dealt with any of this kind of stuff before.
