Switching Computers

Listen. I was not "ignoring" your suggestions. Plus I tried your first suggestion and I was pointing that out. I had this working perfectly on my win 2008r2 server and decided to great a new 2012 server and put it on that. By me testing that it DOES work on the C:\ drive then that tells me there is an issue with the D:\ drive somehow. So stop being a dick.

FYI... your suggestion did not work for me. It still said folder not found.

Well as is often the case when you ignore trying the suggestions I've already given, there isn't much more I can tell you.

I lay out specific things to try and you respond that you did something different and then ask me why what you did didn't work.

Beats me.

X:\Music\Artist\Album\tracks

has worked for me in every one of the over 200 Subsonic instances I've installed.

you want to try something else - go ahead and let us know how that works for you.

Oh, sorry, that's what you just did - my bad.

Oh, BTW - if you do try what I suggest, be sure to rescan the media folders.

How about permissions on the D:\ Drive?

If that is a secondary drive from another computer, the Windows 2012 system user account may be denied access.

Try setting the Subsonic service to run with your local username and password instead of the system account... restart the service, and try to add a folder from D:.

If that works, adding the system account to the folder's permission list should solve the root problem...

This worked!!!! Thank you for being so helpful. The secondary drive was from the 2008 R2 VM. It is used as a data drive so I just removed it from that and brought it over to the new 2012 VM.

OK, so the root problem is that the system account of the new machine does not have permission to read the D: drive.

If you do not have a lot of serious security concerns about this drive, I would just get into the security properties and add "System" and "Authenticated users" with full control, and then in the advanced section, check off "replace all permissions on child objects with inheritable permissions" and let it process.

NB: if this is a large drive with a lot of data, it could take a long time. LET IT FINISH. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to troubleshoot half-applied file and folder permissions in windows...

Glad to help,
