Amahi Forums

All,

Had to do a reinstall of Amahi on home network which was successful I believe. All of my apps working with exception of Sync. (It was working previously so I expect I have done something or not to cause this.)

To note:

1) I manually installed two external HDD's in a NAS box and they are visible and viable. Install done per Wiki directions and I moved all shares to the new drives (some on each). Needless to say, Public folder was moved as well (I was not thinking) and naturally Sync would not work in the new location.

2) So following some advice from Forums and Wiki I believe I recreated the Public folder at /var/hda/files/Public....when I CD to that location i see a test file that i moved to the folder using a client PC.

3) Again following direction for this site I restarted the Sync service and believe it worked. That being said when i run this command:
tail -f /var/log/amahi-sync.log, the following output, indicating a sync error is received:

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.3]

4) I'm stumped and am not sure what to try next. Grateful for any suggestions or direction. Thanks.

Verify the path in the Dashboard shares tab matches the path of the folder.

Ensure the permissions for Public and all it’s contents match the rest of your shares.

Verify by doing: Note that the folder must be in title case, I.e. Public.

Finally ensure rsync is installed:

Bigfoot Thanks,

Figured you would have the weekend off!

1) Path verified. Public (with CAP) resides @ /var/hda/files

2) [sallen@hda ~]$ ls -al /var/hda/files results:

total 16
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Apr 14 10:05 .
drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4096 Apr 12 14:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 14 05:56 drives
drwxrwxr-x 2 admin users 4096 Apr 14 10:08 Public

3) sudo dnf list rsync results:

[sallen@hda ~]$ sudo dnf list rsync

Thanks.

Nope, no days off from Amahi

Ok all seems fine if your first admin user is admin

Have you done OS updates?

Nothing like doing something we enjoy! Your commitment is exemplary. So thanks.

Yup, first admin user is Admin

No OS updates that I'm aware of. That said many are auto download / install

Scott

Try a reboot or restart the service:

Hi Bigfoot,

Sorry, no Joy on the sync command restart and reboot. Have rebooted, HDA, Modem and client PC.

BTW, second user is my "own" account with admin privileges. Is this an issue?

Thoughts on the way forward?

Scott

Shouldn't be an issue with having multiple admin users.

Not sure why it's not working.

May need to submit a bug report to resolve this one.

Will submit a bug report...thanks again for your time Bigfoot.

Good morning,

Have yet to post bug report. I tinkered over the week-end in hopes of resolving the issue including doing a clean install....leaving the Public folder and its share path per default values, still no Public sync folder via Control Panel. This despite me being able to Cd to folder and LS contents.

So i guess it is time to post a Bug Report. I have tried to login using Control Panel credentials (ie my email address and PW that I use for Control Panel) and i get an login error. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

Scott
