a couple of issues running on linux

[RXWatcher]

I've moved from Windows to CentOS 5 with tomcat 5.5 and the latest JDK and subsonic is working but a couple of things are off. It doesn't display and albums under Home->Random, Newest, Most Frequently Played, etc and the stats are blank: 0 artists
0 albums
0 songs
0 B (~ 0 hours)

I have 248 GBs of music and it displayed correctly on Windows...so I'm thinking maybe a permissions issue on the Linux box? I did make tomcat the owner of the var subsonic directory and the album covers display correctly when going through the artist list and picking one.

Not sure on the stats being off..I did reindex and it didn't fix it.

Any help would be great...thanks!

I deleted the index file and let it reindex. This brought both of these back however I'm not seeing the now playing section that I was seeing on the Windows system. I do have that checked in the config.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks again.

Sounds like a browser issue. What browser and version are you using? Anyone else with this problem on Linux?

I don't think it's browser..it worked fine on the same machine/same browser running on Server 2003. I'm assuming this is using AJAX to refresh the display..I wonder if something is messed up with communicating with the linux box. I get the donate! section but not the now playing right below it.

Browsers are: Firefox 2.0.08 and IE 6.0sp2.

I had a similar issue when upgrading from 3.0 to 3.2.

Where is your music being stored? Is it a network share? If so, make sure that your Subsonic host (ur linux box) can navigate to that location.
If all else fails, delete all music folder entries in subsonic and re-add them one by one..
This should refresh the DB

sorry to reopen an older thread..
I have a problem with the sidebar also. I'm running Kubuntu, the sidebar works fine using Konqueror, using firefox 2.0.0.10 I get the same issues that RXWatcher is mentioning, stats are blank, and only the # artists are shown.
Not to throw more confusion on the topic but when loading the interface on a Mac firefox 2.0.0.10 it renders just fine.

Maybe this will help to find the issue? Don't know what else to try.

helpful info?
Tomcat 6
jdk1.6.0_03
Subsonic 3.2
Kubuntu 7.10

OK somewhat solution, can't tell you why..
If I point firefox to http://localhost:8080/subsonic I get the sidebar problems, but changing the "localhost" to the IP of my computer, problem is gone.. Konqueror works fine pointing the browser to localhost or the IP of the machine..
