Hello

I tried installing Tin Can Jukebox and when I try to scan my music files I get the following error:
Mon Oct 22 22:22:39 CEST 2012 - (1) Error opening /var/hda/files/music/mp3. The user the web server runs under does not appear to have permissions to this directory.

When in terminal I do cd /var/hda/files/music and press ls -l I get the following output:
-rwxrw-r-- 1 bone users 504 Jul 11 09:28 desktop.ini
drwxrwxr-x 5 bone users 4096 Oct 21 10:30 iTunes
drwxrwxr-x 2 bone users 40960 Oct 21 20:09 MP3
drwxrwxr-x 2 bone users 4096 May 26 18:46 Playlists
drwxrwxr-x 2 bone users 4096 Oct 21 10:41 $RECYCLE.BIN


I also tried to open a terminal and press sudo nautilus and gave the other access - read only rights but still I get the above error.

Can some1 please help me to get this up and running?

Check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log file for issues. Also check the ownership of the files in /var/hda/web-apps/jukebox.

What do the right have to be on /var/hda/web-apps/jukebox? I mean, do users need read-write or do they have to be the same as the folder /var/hda/files/music where others just have access - read permissions?

Check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log file for issues. Also check the ownership of the files in /var/hda/web-apps/jukebox.

/var/log/amahi-app-installer.log:
No errors

/var/hda/web-apps/jukebox
Owner was www-data annd also tried setting owner to bone but no joy. Still keeps complaining about permissions on /var/hda/files/music

The ownership for /var/hda/web-apps/jukebox should be www-data:users. The music would be owned by your first admin user:users. Suggest you try this:
That will ensure all files in the music directory are owned by your first admin user. If this still does not work, then we will have to research the issue a bit more.
