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 ...

Just untar the file using winzip or some other program in windows, then SSH into the NAS or use an FTP app that supports SFTP over SSH (SmartFTP for example) and copy your jre folder into the webroot/subsonic folder. Then you'll need to edit the path to java in the subsonic.sh file to update the path from the old version to the new one. You can copy the folder via windows explorer as by default that folder is visible, YMMV on whether you get permissions issues doing it this way. You will still need to chmod the folder and JRE files it contains afterwards though.
You will need to ensure that the new jre folder is owned by the user that runs subsonic on the NAS, and also adjust permissions for the folder to 755 recursively, otherwise the service will start, but not the JRE it relies on to run.
SmartFTP also contains a terminal client that acts the same as PuTTy, so everything is in the same app. It's not free tho.
The command to alter when editing the subsonic.sh file is this one:
I commented out the old line of code with a "#" character at the beginning of the line and added a new line below as follows:
It works perfectly.

It works perfectly.
