hmmm. ok.

While I'm not sure how to edit that subsonic config file, the user was already set as my root username, so I didn't try too hard to change it.

Someone on Subsonic forum suggested: sudo chmod -R 755 /var/Podcast/ That didn't do the trick. They then suggested (which i'll try this evening): sudo chmod -R 777 /var/Podcast/ If its works, you could leave it like that. Or you could type in terminal chown -R user /var/Podcast/, replace user with t...

So when i ran ls -al /var/Podcast/

I got:

Total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 18 18:37 .
drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Jun 18 18:37 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 Basic Brewing Radio

Does this mean anything to you?

Thanks, I'll give those things a shot. You've been very helpful.

Ok, I am waiting for a reply on subsonic's forum. They're much slower to respond than you! In the meantime, is there an easy way for me to check the permissions on that podcast folder? I know it exists, because the previously downloaded podcasts are still there and working.

Thanks for your help.

I never made any changes to the permissions of that directory. What I'm trying to do is use Subsonic's podcast tool. It downloads the podcasts automatically to that directory, but on update to the new version, it won't download to that directory.

So I had to uninstall and reinstall. Then that didn't work, so I uninstalled and reinstalled again, which seems to have done the trick. My settings carried over just fine. However, I am having trouble with my podcasts downloading to my server. I get the error message: /var/Podcast/Basic Brewing Radi...

Their forum hasn't been very helpful. I'll just make note of the settings and reinstall. Thanks for your help.

Hmm ok, do you have any advice on how to back up the settings? I think they're in /var/Subsonic/db/

Will uninstalling and reinstalling change all my settings?

Thanks!
