Install sudo before you restart to see if it starts

To check if it is in the folder I believe it's in, on your nas look in the squeeze/home/tommymsw folder

Made corrects in guide using "newuser" directory. Also I had added "sudo" as part of the installs when I first updated.

Please confirm

Danfozzy, what user is starting SickBeard, CouchPotato and Headphones in your setup.

In my case it is not root and I am not seeing any issues like tommymsw.

Normally, not good practice to run applications as root if you don't have to.

I've got everything running as user danfozzy, no snags at all

i his problem was trying to chmod the folders when logged in as his user, and not as root or using the sudo command - as you mentioned he's prob installed sick beard as root

from what i can understand his sick beard folder is still not chmod 777, but running as root will get by this

i agree with you, i don't run any app as root, not even sabnzbd (is that your startup script on the front page)

I thought it was but it turns out I did edit it correctly in my script. I guess I am smarter than I look.

/usr/bin/sudo -u newuser -H /newuser/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /newuser/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

BTW, Did you install sabnzbdplus and just not use it? These were in my original instructions...

So you think that "sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied" issue is because he installed it his home directory as root?

just a note that you need to add the user to the sudo list to allow sudo to work correctly when using it as a normal user.

How do I do that just so I know. I usually just su.

I've always used sab i don't get what you mean?

Disregard, thought it had something to with permission issue

What are your permissions for /dev/null?                         (644 on mine)
What are your permissions for SABnzbd, SickBeard, etc directory?  (755 on mine)

So going back and fourth like I did, I may have indeed installed some of these programs as "root". Do I need to uninstall them? Or can I just start over again from that part? I have not started using them yet so I don't mind re-installing. The root-user thing is confusing to me. I was wondering what the use of a user is if all could be done as root anyway?

Hmm... looks like they are all under the newuser?

Try running the scripts now as your new user as you have created what needs be as root

When O log in as "user" and try to start Sabnzbd I get:

My Sickbeard also will not update.
2012-02-26 20:08:16.345524 CP Server Thread-4 :: Git returned bad info, are you sure this is a git installation?

And I can only start Sabnzbd and CP when I am logged in as "root". I don't get an error or anything while under "user" but the programs do not start.

So....

chmod 666 and then started Sabnzbd as user and "success"! However, after NAS restart (to see if Sabnzbd would now auto start... it did not) when I run the script again, I am back to:

sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied (so looks like the permissions didn't stick)

I uninstalled/reinstalled SB and ran it. Chose to update software but said it couldn't update "look in log file". Nothing was in the log file (tried a few times, same results) however, after restart of NAS, my SB now says "no update needed". So I guess it DID work? I guess? lol Although it really doesn't tell me what version I have... only alpha (master)


And still no luck with CP.
I still can only get it to start with "root" and then cd to the user folder.

CP updated fine. May be because it was started with "root"?

Seems like this all may be over permissions being messed up?

On a hunch I uninstalled/reinstalled CP as per your directions with SB (figuring that installing it as user may help. No luck, after reinstall, I still have to start it as "root".

Closed all programs
log in as "root"
chmod 666 /dev/null

log in as user and start:
Sabnzbd= success
SickBeard= success
CouchPotato= success

Restart NAS to check autostart:
Sabnzbd= fail
SickBeard= success
CouchPotato= fail

log in as user to start after NAS restart:
Sabnzbd= sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied (but still started)
SickBeard= sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied (but still started)
CouchPotato= paused and then brought up command-line (no error message - but did NOT start)

Looks like the
"chmod 666 /dev/null"
solves my problems (maybe even the auto start problems) but when I restart the NAS, the permissions get un-set gain. I don't know why it would do that?

I don't know why either but I believe I have a solution.

SSH as root
#nano /boot/linuxrc

#START SickBeard CouchPotato Headphone
/etc/init.d/mediaservers.sh

#START SABnzbd
service sabnzbd start

--- Hit Control o to write file than Control x to exit file ---

Change it to look like the above

#nano /etc/init.d/mediaservers.sh

#!/bin/bash
su root -c "chmod 666 /dev/null"
su newuser -c "python /home/newuser/CouchPotato/CouchPotato.py -d"
su newuser -c "python /home/newuser/Sick-Beard/SickBeard.py -d"
su newuser -c "python headphones/Headphones.py -d"

--- Hit Control o to write file than Control x to exit file ---
#exit

Change it to look like the above

Restart your NAS. Let me know the results.
