MiniDLNA Plugin fails to start because sqlite database is missing (BETA-3)

[protosd]

When trying to start MiniDLNA plugin from GUI it silently fails to start.

jexec'ing into the jail and looking at /var/log/minidlna.log I see:

[2012/04/20 08:05:44] minidlna.c:324: fatal: ERROR: Failed to open sqlite database! Exiting...

(It seem like the Trac reporting system needs a new catagory for Components - Plugins or Jail)

[protosd]

It looks like the permissions are wrong:

/mnt/plugins/pbi/minidlna-amd64/plugins/minidlna/data/db/minidlna.db

6716 9 -rw-r--r-- 1 www www 2048 Apr 2

0 08:06 /usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/plugins/minidlna/data/db/minidlna.db

42485 33 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel

[protosd]

This doesn't seem to work either
chmod the parent folder 777
chmod 666 the minidlna.db
chown dlna:dlna minidlna.db

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/minidlna start doesn't complain

(IF a media folder is defined, although a defined mount point doesn't show up when doing df)

How do you have same file with different permissions?

Also, it is not that db you care about, this db is the plugin one, not the minidlna...

Try (within jail):
# mkdir -p /var/db/minidlna
# chown -R dlna:dlna /var/db/minidlna
# chmor -R 755

If you confirm it fixes the issue it will be handled in r11209

Replying to william:

There were 2 different files

Also, it is not that db you care about, this db is the plugin one, not the minidlna...

Try (within jail):
# mkdir -p /var/db/minidlna
# chown -R dlna:dlna /var/db/minidlna
# chmor -R 755

The mkdir command wasn't necessary, /var/db/minidlna was already there. The other 2 commands worked, I can start minidlna from the GUI and verify it is running in the jail with ps -ax

Thanks William, keep up the good work and thanks for all your help!
