Subsonic Forum

I have installed the Subsonic server on Solaris 11. Everything seems to be working fine from the server side....

I can log in to the web interface, I can see all the MP3s, I can play them, search them, etc.

However, when using the Android client, I get a network error everytime I try and list the songs, search, etc.

When I test the client connection, everything tests fine.

There are no errors in the subsonic log file, or even any messages at all when the client tries to test or connect.

Any idea what's wrong?

Sorry, I thought I was in help section when I posted this...I'm sure a moderator will move

Just updated to 4.7B2 and things are working quite a bit better....

I have been running subsonic on Solaris for a year or three. I started with OpenSolaris and now run Subsonic 4.6 on Solaris 11. Have had no Solaris-specific issues. In fact, it runs like a banshee on this host, since the machine has far more storage / RAM / CPU / network than Subsonic needs, plus the machine is up 24/7.

Glad you got things working.

Could you compile a brief HowTo install Subsonic on OpenSolaris?
I'm interested to put it on my NAS box.

patrick.

I don't have a blow-by-blow because I installed under OpenSolaris a long time ago. I then upgraded to Solaris 11 then later upgraded the hardware then later upgraded to a newer version of Subsonic. Below are my notes from the various upgrades. It should get you headed in the right direction. See attached files for SMF manifest and shell script to start the application.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot,
it turned out that instlling subsonic on my OpenIndiana box is *much* more easy that I initially thought.
wget'ting the tgz, unpacking it to a proper place and tune a bit the params in "/var/subsonic/subsonic.sh" and it works like a breeze
And with your hints it even could be controlled by SMF, great.
