Subsonic Forum

Hi All:

I have installed a standalone Subsonic server on my new box. I was wondering if anybody knew what the folder/permission associations were. Meaning, which files need to be root for Subsoonic to function and which can be owned by users other than root.

Thanks!

you dont have torun subsonic as root, just make sure that the the folders/files it has to access are accesible by the user that is running subsonic. for example /var/subsonic is only accesible by root by default, but you can change the permissions and then just run it as any user you like.

Okay that sounds good. But for clarification, if my user is "mike" and I set all my files to be owned by "mike" with no group will it run the same?

well, i encountered strange behaviour sometimes, so to be sure i also set the group to be "mike"

That is weird because I was able to set the group to whatever my heart desired. Needless to say I got impatient and just tried messing around with the groups and users in the folder and found that it worked just fine. Thanks though.
