Subsconic 4.7.04 is a disaster on NVX
Been trying to get Subsonic to work on an NVX. NVX originally had 4.2.20 on it. Installed Subsonic but web GUI would not launch. Checked \webroot\subsonic folder and found Java and other folders ...
I've upgraded Subsonic to v5.3 (build 4568 – October 24, 2015) on my ReadyNas NVX (with latest and final 4.2.28 firmware) and I'm trying to update the JRE installed a part of the previous Subsonic 4.7b3. I fould the EJRE installer as you suggested and followed the directions. I now have EJRE version ejdk1.8.0_65 installed (according to RAIDiator) but I don't know where it got put - assuming root somewhere but I can't find it. You suggested "simply change the path to the destination folder where the EJRE Installer places the java folder." How would I make that change (so EJRE installs inside the webroot/subsonic folder)? Alternatively, can I delete the jre1.6.0_20 folder and point subsonic to the new jre1.8.0_65? How would I configure that?
Appreciate any help you can provide (2 years after the last post). Thanks
entering "which java" should show you where it is.
Assuming the command that StephenB mentioned, returns the Java Addon as being available systemwide, you may not need to alter anything at all.
If not, the setting for Java can be patched in manually to the 'subsonic.sh' file which will be in-folder with the subsonic.war file and the other files for Subsonic. The code your looking for is near the top of the file, and looks like this:
# Use JAVA_HOME if set, otherwise assume java is in the path. JAVA=java if [ -e "${JAVA_HOME}" ] then JAVA=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java fiAssuming Subsonic starts OK with your JRE addon installed, go to the 'About' Section of the GUI to verify what version of Java, Subsonic is running under. If it still references the old version (or Subsonic fails to start), you may need to change the JAVA=java option and substitute it for the absolute path to the installed Java binary. So;
JAVA=<Absolute PATH to java binary here>
Sorry, I can't help much more than this, due to my general lack of Linux knowledge, and the fact that the primary NAS I now have Subsonic installed on is no longer a Netgear ReadyNAS.
Best of luck.
Gib.
