Serviio

Just downloaded and tried to install Serviio 1.1. on my Linux machine

Serviio - the process - came up without any problems.

However. I'm wondering where the log directory/files are gone. There was none in the tar file and serviio didn't create any in /var/share/serviio??

Background: I'm trying to figure out why ServiiDroid cannot access Serviio 1.1. Without console I can't get 1.1 to work.

THX

/var/share/serviio/log?

Maybe you extracted the files as one user and ran Serviio as another without write access? Did you install over the old version, as that usually works just fine.

Hi Will.

You got it.

I'm running serviio with a system user called serviio. The Serviio base installation works only as user root. - Which is not a recommended way of running apps!!

In fact I removed the old stuff completely.

I guess I need to improve my upgrade script a little. I just need to run a chown on the target directory.

This way also my ServiiDroid access problem got resolved btw.

Thx a lot.

Thought it might be that. I have the same setup with Serviio running under its own account. Each time I simply stop the service, extract the archive, chown the directory, start the service. There is no need to wipe out the old one first.
