Amahi Forums

Hi everyone,

Im new to the forum and new to Amahi. Ive been trying to set up a server with Fedora 12 and Amahi 5.4-1. I can see and access all shares from all user accounts, except the "music" share. I can read from it but not write to it. This is common to both WinXP and OS X 10.6.

When I try to access "music "from Mac, OS X promts me for my account password, after which I get the error message "One or more items can't be copied to "Music" because you don't have permission to read them etc. ". I find the statement about not being able to read the file strange, because I can copy the same file to any of the other shares just fine. And of course because the same write problem to "music" occurs on the WinXP laptop.

In the Amahi setup screen the permissions for "music" are set for "all users" and as "writable". I have tried changing user passwords and deleting->recreating accounts to no avail. I haven't really touched Fedora yet, cause I have used Linux before, but I can't say I know what I am doing.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Try posting the results of this command, and see if anyone here has any ideas.

ls -l /var/hda/files

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer. I forgot to mention in my last post that DHCP is taken care of by Amahi and is switched of in the modem.

So from Fedora 12, here is the output from the above statement:

total 24
drwxrwxr-x 2 500 users 4096 2010-06-18 18:19 Ben
drwxrwxr-x 2 500 users 4096 2010-06-18 18:19 docs

Thanks!

Hi,

I looked at the link, but I have to admit, I am not sure what I am looking for..?

Sorry for being a noob,

No problem. I see the issue, your music share is not listed as writable for users. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open terminal window
2. su - and enter root password you set in Fedora install
3. chmod 775 /var/hda/files/music

Once that is done, it should work. Hope that helps.

That worked perfectly, thanks!
