Quick update as spotted and error

 

Sick is ok if you force an update after files are downloaded. Seems the apps can access all the info but no me from my windows machine. Tried changing the command line as below with still no joy

 

root@Backupsvr:/# chmod -R 755 /mnt/cache/complete files/silk/series 1

chmod: cannot access `/mnt/cache/complete': No such file or directory

chmod: cannot access `files/silk/series': No such file or directory

chmod: cannot access `1': No such file or directory

 

also tried to eliminate all the spaces with underscores which looked a little better but still doeas not work

 

root@Backupsvr:/# chmod -R 755 /mnt/cache/complete_files/silk/series_1

chmod: cannot access `/mnt/cache/complete_files/silk/series_1': No such file or directory

root@Backupsvr:/#

 

 

Also despite telling the shares to be cache drive only i get orange balls in simple features saying i have pending cache - its not pending its supposed to be there - just ignore this ??

if you using spaces etc put the path inside quotes - ex chmod -R 777 "/mnt/path that has spaces etc"

 

and it will work correctly

Thanks, tried that but no joy (but good to know)

 

root@Backupsvr:/# chmod -R 755 "/mnt/cache/complete files/silk/series 1"

chmod: cannot access `/mnt/cache/complete files/silk/series 1': No such file or directory

 

Its like the directory is not there - but it is ! and its in exactly the same location as season 2 and i can get to that no problem

The power went out the other night, and ever since then I've been having troubles.  First sickbeard couchpotato and sab wouldn't start.  They would cause the server to hang.  So i got the latest files from github and installed them.  Now however it says none of them are installed, and when i press the install button nothing happens.  And when I change the settings then hit enable, the page hangs.  So when I refresh all the settings i changed go back to their defaults and its not running.

 

Jul  2 14:50:53 Tower sudo:     root : TTY=console ; PWD=/tmp ; USER=nobody ; CO
MMAND=/usr/bin/python /usr/local/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --daemon --port 8081 --c
onfig --datadir /mnt/cache/.programs/sickbeard --pidfile /var/run/sickbeard/sick
beard.pid 2>&1 >/dev/null

82 --config-file /mnt/cache/.programs/sabnzbd --pid /var/run/sabnzbd/ 2>&1 >/dev
/null

 

i have this exact issue and circumstances. the only other potential impact is that I was trying to install the latest utorrent plugin, with limited success. not sure if it messed something up as well.

 

i enable the plugin and the page hangs with the following text at the bottom:

 

Starting SABnzbd: sudo -u nobody python /mnt/user/app_cache/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py --daemon --server 0.0.0.0:8081 --config-file /mnt/user/app_cache/sabnzbd --pid /var/run/sabnzbd/ 2>&1 >/dev/null

Have these files been moved off the cache drive yet?

 

other wise where are the final resting place of these files, that is where they should be chmoded from

again, for those of you who are installing apps to a location in your array, you are gong to have startup/shutdown hangs on your array.  These plugins should be installed on a cache drive and their data locations on the cache drive as well and you wont have these hangs/startup problems.

those of us who are installing to the array are likely doing so because we don't have a cache drive or anything but the basic license. previous versions of this plugin were installed to my array and did not have start/stop issues.

MyK - the files are on the cache drive, i only plan to move stuff off there manually and whenh it get fuller. Current issue is i cannot acces the files at all in that folder. I just copied them over from cache to disk1 in my array and now i can access them but i must be missing something as i tried to reset the permissions there and still get the file does not exist issue !! must be something i am doing worng ??

Hello, Im actually new to unRaid, I've noticed that all links are down.... is it just temp or?...

 

Look for my post on page 72 for links. Links in OP are down, probably for good

 

Hilly, if you are trying to chmod or chown a directory that has a space, you must escape the space like so:

 

chmod -R 777 /mnt/cache/complete\ files/season\ 1/

 

Also notice the -R, that tells chmod to do so recursively.

 

You can also do chown the same way to change ownership

chown -R nobody:users /mnt/cache/complete\ files/season\ 1/

 

As for the rest of problems, I will look and hope to address them later tonight, Hilly's problem(atleast this one :) ) was a quick one that is why I replied to it.

ok, but if your share is set to use the cache drive and you are trying to access the file(s) - you access them from the final location - if they are still sitting on the cache drive unRAID knows that.  The mover script moves them into your array - but again if you are trying to access them - you access them from the user share location for example my TV shows are \\tower\TV\foldername - even if that file is on the cache drive, you still access it from the user share location....

Is there a place you're hosting these plugins so I can tell if I've got the latest one? I'm using the ones from google code, but you seem to update them in this thread and there's no changelog in them!

 

I also had to add this to start() for sickbeard:

 

   if [[ ! -e "/var/log/sickbeard" ]]; then
        mkdir /var/log/sickbeard
        chown $RUNAS:users /var/log/sickbeard
    fi

 

Or it bombed out with an error that it couldn't write to the log.

 

Good work though!

 

Did you change sickbeard to write the logs to there? It shouldn't be trying to write anything to that directory. At the very least, it should look for /var/log/plugins/sickbeard, which is created when the plug-in installs.

dropbox installed, set it all up

I get an error for the watched folder

FOUT:

 

dirscan_dir map: fout /mnt/cache/.Dropbox/Nzb bij toegang

Altough i can browse to it using windows machine

 

Don't speak dutch but if my translator is up to par, that means it had an error accessing the folder? Is it sabnzbd giving the error, or dropbox?

 

If its sabnzbd, it would be a permissions issue. First I'd check and make sure all capitalization is correct in the path, and second I would chmod that directory to 777

 

chmod -R 777 /mnt/cache/.Dropbox/

Thanks Influencer, Hoping to try out these plugins if all go well will be purchasing a key xD

If you need any help just let us know, here to help as always!

 

I honestly couldn't be happier with my unRAID server. It is the answer to every one of my problems. Easy users so I can control what can be accessed and what cannot, who has read/write privledges, quiet(ok this isn't OS related but still), flexible. unRAID is truly superior for a media server. And it will only get better! Keep in mind that the plug-in infrastructure is still in its infancy, things will only go up from here!

Again, will state for everyone - best possible scenario is using a cache drive, install AND data dir on cache drive - this drive is outside of the array so you will not have hangs on array startup/shutdown

 

Myk

 

 

So, I only installed couchpotato about a week and a half ago (pre-fallout), but I get issues where the array does not start properly (constant "starting..." message). Anyway, sab an sick (non plugin) start up fine, couchpotato does not. If I disable the cp plugin and re-enable, it seems to work, but it also seemed to forget my library settings, and either way, this is far from desirable. Any advice?

 

(status of CP is "Status: STOPPED")

 

Thanks

 

The way you have Sab and Sickbeard installed starts the plugins after the array has started from the go file, plugins run before the go file and sometimes it happens before the array can start. This creates the /mnt/user directory, so when the array tries to start the directory exists, causing your issue. Try changing your directory from /mnt/user to /mnt/diskx with diskx being the actual disk your directories exist on. This should work around the problem until a proper fix can be put in place

Thanks for the swift response.

 

My settings were install directory in : usr/local and my data directory in  /mnt/cache/.custom/yadayada.

 

I would've assumed that these directories wouldn't suffer the issue you mention, but I'm giving it a bash with an install directory on the cache drive.

 

Thanks again

 

Interesting that you'd quote me on this, given that my following post was specifying how I'd now got the install dir and the data dir both on the cache drive... and it still causes hangs on boot.

 

Canning this for now, not worth the hassle.

It could possibly be causing hangs due to something not downloading correctly causing the script to hang, a few ways to figure this out:

 

run the install script manually for each plug-in so you can see what is being output

have a monitor connected to the server and see what it says on boot/where it hangs

zip and attach the plug-ins so I can look at them(this is just for me to see which plug-in it is and if there is a possible URl conflict)

 

Running the install script manually would probably be easiest.

 

/etc/rc.d/rc.sabnzbd install

/etc/rc.d/rc.couchpotato_v2 install

/etc/rc.d/rc.sickbeard install

 

I hate that your giving up, I like users to be satisfied with the work!

Very weird - I ended up rebuilding my unRAID box from scratch due to flash disk corruption.

 

On a fresh install of the latest sabnzbd plugin it just wont start.

 

When I go to the settings page, change my settings and hit apply it shows the following and never loads (browser just sits there loading):

 

Installing latest version of SABnzbd...
... OK
Starting SABnzbd: sudo -u nobody python /usr/local/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py --daemon --server 0.0.0.0:8081 --config-file /mnt/disk1/.apps/sabnzbd --pid /var/run/sabnzbd/ 2>&1 >/dev/null

 

Nothing weird in the syslog either  - just the same line above.

 

 

Probably due to the download URl not working right now, its a problem with sourceforge. On page 72 I posted sabnzbd_hardcoded.plg, which hardcodes the download URL as a workaround for now

[facepalm] Thank you (it worked) and sorry - I thought I caught up on this thread - I didn't!

This thread is all over the place, I have trouble keeping up with it sometimes, and I am on this thread probably 20 times a day(if not more)!

Yes its sabnzb giving the error, so i think too its permission problem.

I did what you proposed and it worked, however i restarted and now it isnt working anymore...

 

Dropbox isn't setting the permissions correctly it seems, I can take a look at the plugin to see if it is the plugin or dropbox itself at fault. This will have to be tomorrow, not at a pc now...

 

You can put that line in your go file in the meantime so it changes the permissions on boot...

 

Is dropbox running as nobody or root?

Ok thx a lot for your effort!

How do i know if its running ad nobody or root?

OK, update from last nights efforts.

 

Somehow managed to get access to my folder, honestly not quite sure how as i tried so many things. Used MC to copy the series folder to /mnt/disk1 and that seems to have worked but as yet it is not showing up as a folder or as a share (thought a share would create itself after the move?). I used the code line from influencer to cut out the spaces and i still got the file does not exist type message but think it might have been after that that i got some access. Tried to then copy from this server onto my main server and the copy did not work - apparently i dont have permission to do that !!! .

 

I also notice now that my folder structure is all messed up. In simpe features i only see the shares apps, complete, incomplete, NZB's which i created to store everything in but if i map the cache disk in windows i have a folder called "usenet" which is not accesable but could be there from previouse efforts and also have a folder called "cache" where all of the folders are then repeated along with all of the contents .....

 

Think i might try a reboot tonight and see what remains after that otherwise i might reinstall or start again now i have some idea of how to put the things together. Having managed to get some downloads working etc it is worth the effort to get these apps functioning so need to stick with it now.

 

Maybe we need a new thread with a well written sticky on "how to" for downloads, install and setup of these apps as i think there are a lot of us trying to keep up with everything

my folders are now _Dropbox and _Sabnzb on the cache drive

Somehow unraid made for both folders -> 2 user shares with the same name??? how come? i dont want that...
