How to install Subsonic on FreeNAS

[morpheus214]

Which Subsonic package are you installing?

Subsonic 3.7 standalone, stable

[sgx1]

In FreeNAS > System > Packages, verify you have the following:

diablo-jre-1.6.0.07.02
javavmwrapper-2.3.2
pkg-config-0.23_1
xextproto-7.0.2
xproto-7.0.10_1
xtrans-1.0.4

Versions may differ, but those should exist.

[morpheus214]

Yes, I just checked it and I have them all. Even the versions are the same. Strange...

[sgx1]

It sounds as if everything is in place.

If you browse the /var/subsonic, you may see many new files and folders that were created by Subsonic. Try deleting everything except for the standalone folder to have them rebuilt.

[morpheus214]

There is only the log file and the standalone folder. Is it possible that i haven't set the permission right?

[sgx1]

It's a possibility. To verify, you can use the File Manager to view/change permissions. As a reference, mine has drwxrwxr-x on the standalone folder.

[morpheus214]

Changing the permissions on the files didn't solve the problem. Does it make a difference to which user the files belong? I created a new user in the wheel group (and all other groups selected as additional) and uploaded the files through the ftp server.

EDIT:

I installed the whole FreeNAS again and now Subsonic works fine! Thanks for your help anyway.

EDIT2:

After updating to FreeNAS 0.7RC1 and new java version etc. to get LAME encoding to work ( http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... 49bc3410f8 )
same error again. I am really running out of ideas.

[sgx1]

During the FreeNAS installation, how big are you making the boot partition?

[morpheus214]

2GB for potential future purposes and the swap partition ~400MB(i didn't change this setting).

well,. subsonic didnt work for first time with me also on freenas,
turns out,. chmod 777 the subsonic folder
and after restarting the service it worked ^^

also chmod 777 and al the files in the transcode folder
*tip use flash fxp, you can chmod folders & and files easier with that

[morpheus214]

I logged me on as root and changed the permissions of 'subsonic' and all its sub-directories and files to 777 and restarted subsonic.sh, but unfortunately I always get the same error message in the log (see 1st page).

[sindre_mehus]

It doesnt' work for me.

I tried to install it on FreeNAS v. 0.69.2. I installed the packages needed for java as well as diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz. Then i created a folder /var/subsonic/standalone/ and copied the contents from the *.tar.gz into the folder. I set the path for the *.sh file and restarted.

When i opened <myfreenas>:8080 in the browser, nothing happened, so i started the sh-file again through the command --> again nothing.

So i opened the subsonic log:

Does this mean i have the wrong java version? I have no idea what to do now... Do i have to deinstall(how?) java and install another version?

Please help me

I have seen this error myself once and I *think* it was related to that the network interface was disconnected or something like that.

Make sure that your server has a working network connection and see if you get the same error.

You were right Sindre.. such a stupid mistake.. I didn't turn off the firewall on the computer with the shared internet connection(for test purposes without router). Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. I have no idea why a internet connection is neccessary but i don't care as long as it works

It's very strange indeed. Hope to find out why this happens and fix it.
