Web UI in PHP - support thread

[mpemberton5]

Mark im free next five day to test out anything we can do about the presentation save button bug QNAP NAS users are having.

qoolbox who has Thecus NAS somehow fixed the same bug issue somehow
He thinks just update PHP but QNAP does have a very close to the latest version of PHP part of the firmware

Excellent. This weekend I'll send you some test code to see if we can figure out what is going on. Thanks pal!

Folks would appreciate some other brains to help me here
Installed Serviio & started both the server & console on my headless Ubuntu File Server. Downloaded and xtracted WebUI inside my /var/www folder

When I point my windows machine to http://myubuntuserver/index.php I get a server error & the page fails to be displayed, but a test.php in same dir reavelas all phpinfo() no problems..

Any ideas that could help me I'd REALLY appreciate, going a bit nuts now..

you should have /var/www/serviioweb/ and then should visit http://server/serviioweb/

otherwise post ls -l /var/www/

Will, thanks for your reply & assistance..ls -l /var/www/ is listed below. NOTE: The serviio folder holds serviio server & console.

Ok well firstly, I would move serviio out of /var/www e.g. /usr/local/serviio etc...

Next make www-data own the content

  Code:

cd /var/www
chown www-data:www-data * -R


Then try again

Will, you are the DLNA Master, thank you my friend....

OK, so Im so close thanks to Will & Zip but sadly I have another query. Will has just helped me sort out my webUI but when I add a folder (with only half dozen mp3s in) and force a refresh nothing seems to happen.. files at the top of the WebUI browser still say 0 added.. Could this be a permissions thing ?
Thank you

[will]

Could be. What user are you running Serviio as, what are the permissions of the directory you added?

Maybe make a new thread in the help section and post a detailed log (see my signature) showing you add the folder.

Hey Guys
I am having the same issue as mrmad1966. I have followed Will's instructions but it did not resolve the "HTTP Error 500" for me. I spent all day on this and I still can't figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have posted my permissions below.

Hi m8
FWIW Only difference I see between your setup & mine thats obviuos is (as suggested by Will) I have ALL my WebUI files sitting in /var/www and serviio is in the location (again as suggested by Will) /usr/local/serviio
HTH

[will]

Can you confirm you have the curl and xml for php modules installed (browse to test.php assuming it contains <?php phpinfo(); ?>).

My serviio files are located in my user home and the webui files r in /var/www/serviioweb. I will move my serviio files to the location u suggest and report back.

Can you confirm you have the curl and xml for php modules installed (browse to test.php assuming it contains <?php phpinfo(); ?>).

I do have a test.php with that line. I check quickly at the start of my investigation and the answer was yes to both. I am on my phone now but I will confirm when i get to work and report back.

You were correct, I did have curl installed but not curl for PHP. For all you Ubuntu users out there see below to install it.

  Code:

apt-get install php5-curl
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now my problem is "WARNING: There is a version mismatch between Serviio and Web UI. There may be a loss of functionality." in the Web UI. My about says "Serviio v 0.6.2 - WebUI v 1.0 " Is this made to work with a previous version?

Hmm, can you post the contents of the config.php file.

Norge, I had this problem too. For me it was resolved by ensuring that Serviio WAS actually running as a service BEFORE using the console !

Problem could also be the issue I found on my Fedora 17 machine. SELinux was preveting httpd from accessing port 23423. Here are commands I used to resolve my issue:

sudo semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p tcp 23423

sudo semodule -i mypol.pp

[Xmantium]

I resolved all the main problem, it was due to PHP version embedded in Thecus ...
I upgrade to PHP 5.3.9 and use it as dependency .. and all run fine (not yet tested the UTF-8 problem)

The QNAP admins finally upgraded PHP to 5.3.9 in its latest NAS firmware and still get the same presentation save issue Not sure why QNAP users still get this bug
I did check im running the correct version

  Code:

/root$ /mnt/ext/opt/apache/bin/php --version
PHP 5.3.9 (cli) (built: Jun 15 2012 02:32:36)

Just tried your latest changes from git. One problem is that shared folders/online sources can have multiple access groups which is not really clear in your UI. They always have access group 1 (No restriction/full access), but they can additionally have 2 (limited access). And in the future once user defined ones/extra ones are allowed, they could have 3 or 4. Because of this a drop down box is not really the best way to convey that information for the library tab. Maybe a multi-select dropdown box, with a special summary? Not really sure what the ideal solution is.
