Backing Subsonic Up

Postby text » Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:32 am

How do I back up the complete subsonic settings? I'm going to uninstall, delete every change it made to my computer and reinstall it. But I don't want to sift through all the settings again. I just want to install it and it will be like I never uninstalled it.

User settings, podcasts settings, port settings, every little thing.

Thanks for any help,

take a copy of the c:\subsonic directory. All user settings are there. The only settings that you would miss at that point are the basic subsonic settings set through the subsonic control panel on the system tray... ports, context path, and memory.

Well, that didn't work. I did exactly as you said. Now all of my settings are lost. All users are lost. I still have the folder from the original c:\subsonic

But everything is reset. How do I put it back?

In Linux..
* Stop Subsonic.
* copy back the file, subsonic.script to /var/db folder
* Copy back the file, subsonic.properties to var/subsonic folder
* Start subsonic..
* option.. Copy back folder thumbs to /var/thumbs
* run search indexing.

You should be up and running with all your settings and users.

I am on Windows vista.

And I copied the entire folder like he said. Everything else has been deleted. None of the settings are there. I would like to know if it is possible to fix the situation I am in.

Well, you could try to stop the subsonic before you start to copy
back the files "subsonic.script" and "subsonic.properties"
I would guess this should be the same in Windows/Linux.

Of course I did that when I installed. I stopped the service and copied the folder over. No settings were copied. Now, nothing is working. Even my android app will not connect to the server, even though all the IP and router settings are the same, and they're same in the Subsonic control panel.

IC.
I suggest you uninstall and remove all subsonic folders, then reinstall it.
Then you stop the subsonic service and copy and overwrite ONLY the 2 files mention earlier her.

That did it. Now everything is working again. I appreciate it a lot. For a minute there I was about to rage.
