4.7.beta2 throws error 503 - access denied error

[Ashex]

I upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7.beta2 and The web interface gives me an error 503 error. subsonic_sh.log shows this error when it starts:

2396 [main] ERROR org.mortbay.log - Nested in org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'podcastService' defined

I don't use the podcasts feature that much so I deleted the files in that directory since the permissions weren't uniform. Restarting subsonic did not fix this error though, I changed the permissions to 777 on the directory /media/Podcast with no change. Finally I just created that file path (blank with touch) and made sure the permissions were 777 and still the web interface shows an error 500.

Finally I stopped subsonic and renamed the db directory which allowed the web interface to start. What's causing this error and how I can I fix it? I would like to keep the original database.

When you upgraded, the user account that the subsonic is running on reverts back to the default for your OS.
Make sure that SS has got read & write permissions for that folder.

That's the first thing I did by setting permissions to 777 which is global read write. Even with that it is still throwing the access denied error :/
