Fedora - Change Library Directory
Greetings,
Not an advanced Linux user; however, I installed Serviio on Fedora 17 following the instructions of the Wiki. Everything runs great; however, I did not know that anything at the root level, with a default Fedora install, was on it's own 'system' partition and everything else is on another partition until I reached the cap of the system partition size (at a mere 20 gigs or so).
So, keeping Serviio installed in /opt/serviio, I want to be able to use a directory in my user's home folder as my media share point aka home/myuser/shared but, when I add this directory to Serviio it does not read anything. I tried chown -R serviio:serviio /home/myuser/shared as well as tried creating a symbolic link in /opt/serviio/ to the /home/myuser/shared and that too does nothing.
In the detailed log file it shows that it looks at the /home/myuser/shared directory and then puts the current time stamp on it and continues along.
What am I doing wrong here? I've been all over Google and the Forms and cannot find the answer exactly. I'm sure it is a Linux NOOB question or the answer is 'Why didn't you just do it like <insert easy answer here>' but I have fought with this long enough and figured I'd just ask the experts.
So all I want to do is allow Serviio to access a directory in my home folder for the library.
As a note, if I add one of the folders in /opt/serviio/shared back to the list of directories - it instantly pulls in the video files from just that directory.
Thank You All.
