Installing SickRage
Hello I'm trying to install SickRage using this guide: https://sickrage.tv/forums/forum/help-support/general-support/6013-sickrage-ubuntu-install-guide . It appears to be working, but stops as so...

That's what I am running into!
Mar 29 20:31:38 Hydra python[3996]: PID file: /var/run/sickrage.pid already exists. Exiting.
I am trying to figure out how the restart mechanic works with systemd.
I would check to see if it is running before doing deleting the pid file... (Note: Make sure that sickrage is not running before removing the file.)
ps aux | grep sickrage
(Make sure sickrage is not running.)
If it is indeed not running, then you could remove the file that "already exists".
rm /var/run/sickrage.pid

So, that worked. I tried the first command and didn't know if it was running from that... Then tried stopping it before pushing on. It's now up and running.
root@Hydra:~# ps aux | grep sickrage root 10090 0.0 0.0 13152 692 pts/0 S+ 21:30 0:00 grep sickrage root@Hydra:~# systemctl stop fvapp-sickrage.service root@Hydra:~# ps aux | grep sickrage root 10234 0.0 0.0 13152 736 pts/0 S+ 21:32 0:00 grep sickrage root@Hydra:~# rm /var/run/sickrage.pid root@Hydra:~# systemctl start fvapp-sickrage.service

If there's anything I can do to help you troubleshoot, (since my machine seems to have the same issue) let me know!
- MhynloMar 29, 2016Luminary
There was something in my systemd configuration that was a little agressive. I am going to do a quick check before committing and posting another release.
I will update here once that is posted.
- MhynloMar 30, 2016Luminary
I uploaded the packed with the fix on github.
I was not able to get the configuration to allow the "shutdown" of the service within SickRage, but I was able to get the restarts/updates to work correctly.
Did you want to give it a go and let me know how it runs for you? (The initial checks that I ran appear to be running better.) :)

I intend to start using this next week. I had been using the non echelon branch without issue for the past few months but, after messing around with logitech media server, I've broken something and had to do a soft reset. This has removed sickrage and I'm unable to install any apps either via ssh or through the frontend.
I will be doing a full factory reset and rebuild over the weekend and using your sickrage rather than trying to remember how I managed to install it last time! I'm a linux novice but gained some useful knowledge working with raspberry pi's over the last few years.
So this is just a quick note to say thanks for adding this and I hope it works out well!
Cheers

Just downloaded and installed the new version. Ran an update and everything went perfect! Looking good so far! I don't shut down the NAS often, but the next time I do I'll update you. That appeared to be when I ran into the most problems...
It's worth noting that I got the same error after updating plex the other day. (NML) I had updated and immediately tried starting it, then I git the error. After waiting a minute (and doing nothing else) it started right up... Who knows, maybe it's firmware related or something.

I'm running this now and mostly working ok. One problem I'm running into is for files that download that aren't in a folder eg:
2016-04-20 20:04:05 Thread-15 :: [/data/Transmission/Downloads/Line.Of.Duty.S01E01.HDTV.Subtitulado.Esp.SC.avi : Processing failed: File is locked for reading/writing]
And another is not being able to delete the folder once processed eg:
2016-04-20 20:10:55 Thread-14 :: Warning: unable to delete folder: /data/Transmission/Downloads/Gotham.S02E18.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION[rarbg]: error 13 : Permission denied
I'm assuming this must be something to do with ownership and permissions, any ideas?
- MhynloApr 22, 2016Luminary
Sickrage runs as admin so there should not be a permission issue. I have seen some cases where the torrent file would be locked, so when the file was locked from the torrent application it was not able to move the file.
Are you running a move post-process?
- pdid1Apr 22, 2016Tutor
Thanks for that, maybe the error is caused by Transmission? I'll have another look at the settings but I've only added username and passord so that shouldn't be an issue. I think I've worked around it by having an extra folder in the file structure but it is only a work around.
And yes it's a Move post process. Thanks

You could try changing the umask setting in settings.json from 18 to 0:
"umask": 18,
becomes
"umask": 0,
(if umask is the last setting in settings.json then of course, there's no need for the comma at the end)
- pdid1Apr 22, 2016Tutor
I'll give that a try. Thanks
- pdid1Apr 25, 2016Tutor
I've run with the umask 0 setting for a few days now, unfortunately i'm still experiencing the same problem. I'll go back to the extra folder workaround for now. Cheers

I am running into this problem as well, SickRage cannot delete the Transmission file folders post process using move. Not a show stopper but annoying, any help to solve this is apprecaited.
