Subsonic Forum

Dear Sindre,
i want to access a music folder on an other PC. It hangs in a netwerk and in Windows I can access it. the path I made was:\\'name of PC'\'name of the folder'. After I run search index now, but I can't see the new folder?
Do I something wrong?

did you share out the folder on the other PC?? as in \\'name of PC'\'name of the SHARE'

if you typed the path in the run box does it come up?

Yes, I share out the folder en I can see the folder in the run box on the other PC to, but in subsonic not?
Subsonic runs on a XP professional and the other PC XP home, can that be the problem?

Boy I had problems with getting this to work earlier. But the solution was simple when I got to know it.

It's just as simple as you need to set the tomcat service to run with a account name and password that have access to the folders in question.

Use the "Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services" tool and change "Apache Tomcat" properties and go to the login tab and set a username / password that you want all tomcat applications to use.

Stop the tomcat process.
Set username / pw
Start the comcat process.

WARNING. Do not use the Configuration menu from the tomcat tray icon to set the username / password. I tried to set it there several times without any success. Looks like you can read out the current settings there, but you cannot change or set it.
