Okay, well a quick, dirty, and insecure way of getting things to work is to give everyone read and write access to the folder. To do this, become the root user, which is usually done via the 'su' command. Then, as root, give the following command:
chmod 777 /full/path/to/playlist/folder where you substitute your actual playlist folder path in place of /full/path/to/playlist/folder. If you have any spaces in the pathname then you need to enclose the pathname in inverted commmas/quotation marks. Then remember to 'exit' from being root user. A more secure way would be to change the user and/or group to something more appropriate, and give full permissions only to that user or group, rather than the whole world. Do you ever do editing of playlist files when logged in under your own username? If not, then you can make the playlist folder owned by username 'squeezeboxserver', and just give write permissions to that user (I'll assume you don't mind other users reading your playlists). In that case you would do the following, again after using 'su' to get root status. chown -R squeezeboxserver /full/path/to/playlist/folder chmod 755 /full/path/to/playlist/folder chmod 644 /full/path/to/playlist/folder/* If you ever do want to be able to edit/write/delete playlist files under your own username, you can either use the first approach (quick, dirty, insecure), or post back and I can outline something a little less blunt. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90633 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
