Subsonic Permissions / plugin not working?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I installed Subsonic with the plugin. I then gave my user account (Rich) and user group (RichTJ) default permissions to the storage directory so I could map a windows share & copy my music to the share.

I copied the data, and pointed subsonic to the music directory & hit add to library.

I notice that i am getting messages:

Subsonic_1 Cron[19614]: login_getclass: unknown class 'dameon'
Subsonic_1 Cron[19614]: secure_path: /etc/login.conf is not owned by root

Subsonic_1 Cron[20162]: secure_path: /etc/login.conf is not owned by root

I see these periodically in the log, so I changed the storage owner permissions back to root/wheel (not something I use myself)

Now if i goto my subsonic web page, it wont load, but i still get the messages.

I tried stopping the jail, restarting the jail, rebooting the freenas, etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rich

when you changed permissions did you so do for the jail's files? that will break the jail and you'll need to reinstall a new instance of subsonic.

never do this, only ever change permissions of datasets you mount into the jail for programs to access.

Hi,

I think i went into the individual plugins storage. I did the same thing for Virtualbox so I could transfer iso files to the jail & the permissions are still set with me (not root) as the owner & it works fine.

I did the same thing for plex also (attached).

Plex also continues to work.

I dont mind deleting & redoing the jail, i just want to figure what i did wrong so I dont do it again.

Plex & Virtualbox - I change overship of the jail to me, then goto Cifs & create a new share so I can put data into it.

Is that the wrong way to do it?

Thanks,
Rich

it's wrong to change the ownership/permission of OS files (which is what the jail dataset has). im not experienced with CIFS so I'll let someone else answer.

plex continues to work? Then I don't everything you said is 100% accurate then. 'ls -l /' and 'service plexmediaserver onerestart' will show you didn't change permissions, or plex doesn't actually work anymore.

Yes Plex continues to work, subsonic doesnt work.

Do I just type that info into a command line?

yes in the affected jail

Sorry to ask but how do i get to the jail via shell?

if you're just using the shell from the freenas webui there's specific ones available on the Jails tab.

 

[RichTJ99]

This is what it says:

root@plexmediaserver_1:/ # service plexmediaserver onerestart
Stopping plexmediaserver.
Waiting for PIDS: 7511.
Cleaning up leftover child processes.
Waiting for PIDS: 9390 8546.
Starting plexmediaserver.
root@plexmediaserver_1:/ #
root@plexmediaserver_1:/ #

you didn't show the output of 'ls -l /'

also, can you show the output of 'service subsonic onestart' and 'ls -l /' in the subsonic jail?

I think it had more but i cant figure how to scroll in the web shell

you changed the permissions/ownership of you subsonic jail which broke it. the plex jail looks fine, maybe there you properly changed the permissions/ownership of a dataset mounted into your jail.

you'll need to install a new instance of subsonic. if you have configuration in your old subsonic to save you can backup and restore /var/db/subsonic

Thanks for the help! I cant figure what I did differently for plex that i was able to make a windows share, put my data on it & have plex still see it.

I guess the good thing about jails is it is easy to play break, delete & move on.
