Subsonic Forum

Hi all... I have been using subsonic for quite some time now and have had a handful of friends obtain accounts.


Well, my hard drive crashed and I decided to reinstall my operating system (Debian Linux) on a new hard drive. Since then, I've installed subsonic again and re-set everything up accordingly....

Except I would like to migrate my user and password info to my new setup so I don't have to reassign everyone names and passwords again. I have managed to mount the damaged hard drive and recover several gigs of data... its telling me I have a bad superblock... whatever... I can access my data now and if there is a way to bring everyone back on without registering everyone again, that would be terrific.

Thanks a lot!

In your subsonic install directory (usually /var/subsonic or /usr/bin/subsonic) there should be a directory called "db" this contains your Subsonic database and settings.

If you copy this across this to your new Subsonic install then you should be fine.

In case it's of use to anyone...

I just finished migrating my Subsonic install to a new machine. I copied over the entire subsonic installation directory, then I installed subsonic on top of it on the new machine. It worked great; everything's there except the chat messages.

Handy to know! Thanks!
