Subsonic Forum

I am running on OpenSUSE Leap 15. I had an issue with 1.6.3, which would not work until I set JAVA_HOME to point to Java 1.8 in both /etc/init.d/subsonic, and in /etc/sysconfig/subsonic. But this trick no longer works in 1.6.5.

jardell:/var/log/apache2 # systemctl start subsonic

This is /etc/sysconfig/subsonic:

Code: Select all

#
# This is the configuration file for the Subsonic service
# (/etc/init.d/subsonic)
#
# To change the startup parameters of Subsonic, modify
# the SUBSONIC_ARGS variable below.
#
# Type "/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh --help" on the command line to read an
# explanation of the different options.
#
# For example, to specify that Subsonic should use port 80 (for http)
# and 443 (for https), and use a Java memory heap size of 200 MB, use
# the following:
#
# SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=80 --https-port=443 --max-memory=200"

#SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=4041 --max-memory=1500 --https-port=8043"

# The user which should run the Subsonic process. Default "root".
# Note that non-root users are by default not allowed to use ports
# below 1024. Also make sure to grant the user write permissions in
# the music directories, otherwise changing album art and tags will fail.

SUBSONIC_USER=subsonic

JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.8.0
#
SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=4041 --max-memory=1500 --https-port=8043 --pidfile=/var/subsonic/subsonic.pid --add-modules=java.xml.bind --quiet false"



I get the following error:

Code: Select all

594 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - Nested in org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sonosEndpoint': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jws/WebService:

I suspect that Sonos support has been added to this Subsonic version. How do I get this class?

Something is wrong with the startup script. It does not seem to read /etc/sysconfig/subsonic. Nor is there a subsonic entry in /usr/lib/systemd/system.
But the following script works to start subsonic:

removing the PID file allowed it to start. Duh.
