Sickbeard and SabNZB+

[apastor]

Try this.
The Download locations need to be the same in both progs.

in SABNZBD / Folders /Completed Download folder, the folder I use is "/mnt/samba/Downloads/Complete"

In Sickbeard / Config / Post processing config, the folder I use is "/mnt/samba/Downloads/Complete"

That is how it "handshakes"

Sickbeard then dishes out the files out into the relevent TV Show Sub directories.

Hope it helps.



PS. In post processing, ensure "Scan and Process" is ticked.

OK I have things downloading, but they are not moving into proper folder after getting downloaded.
I am seeing these errors in the log

Is this Ubuntu or Fedora? Check to ensure permissions and ownership are correctly set on all fronts.

[apastor]

This is a refresh Ubuntu install.
At first I left all the permissions default.

After getting the errors, i set the folder /var/hda/files/Movies (and all sub-directories) to 777 to see if that would make a difference, but it didnt. I'm still seeing the error msg.

What about ownership of the files? It needs to be firstadminuser:users. There were ownership permission issues that were recently corrected.

[apastor]

This is what i found...

/var/hda/files/newsgroup
administrator | users

/var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete
www-data | users

/var/hda/files/newsgroups/incomplete
www-data | users

/var/hda/files/newsgroups/incomplete/(all the TV Show folders)
root | root

/var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete/(all the TV Show folders)
root | root


Now im guessing the last folder posted should not be "root | root", but "administrator | users"
If so, how am I able to set it be "administrator | users" for each new folder/show created/downloaded in the future?

Update:
I checked the folder where the TV shows are suppose to me moved to after processing and they have proper permissions...

/var/hda/files/Movies/TV_SHOWS
administrator | users

[bigfoot65]

The permissions once changes should stay the same. If that is not the case, then it may require modifying the app or possibly doing a cron job to do it periodically.

SO shold I change the permissions in this path /var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete/ to "administrator | users"

[bigfoot65]

That would be my suggestion. I presume the administrator is your first admin user. I definitely don't think any should be root. www-data might be an option as well. Since I do not use these apps, I am not sure.

[apastor]

Well its working now!!! Finally

What I did was made the /var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete directory all sub-directories use the "www-data | users " permissions and now items are getting moved over.

[apastor]

Now I did find another issue.

Any new shows that get added, to the "/var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete" directory is getting added with the "root | root" permissions.

Now do you or anyone here know how to get sickbeard/sabnzb+ to move the items from /var/hda/files/newsgroups/incomplete
to /var/hda/files/newsgroups/complete with the "www-data | users" permission?

Also it looks like items getting added to the /var/hda/files/newsgroups/incomplete folder is using the "root| root" permission aswell.

So I am wondering is sickbeard/sabnzb+ is doing that and using "root| root" access. If so how can that be changed?
