Mounted disk as default download folder problem

Post by zelloxy »

I run Ubuntu Server. I've mounted my network disk to /mnt/downloads. Then I used "sudo chmod 0777 /mnt/downloads" to make it fully accessable. Also did it with -R flag just in case. So now when I try to set my default download folder to /mnt/downloads the web interface gets stuck at https://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/d ... irectories. What am I doing wrong, it's getting annoying.

Thanks in advance.

I get this error message when trying to set my download_dir: "2011-02-07 21:17:09,624::ERROR::[misc:302] download_dir directory: /mnt/downloads error accessing"
any idea what it might be?

It means SABnzbd cannot get access to /mnt/downloads
Is there anything mounted on /mnt ?

Yes. The "Downloads" folder is my network drive located on my NAS. I've mounted as follows:

Code: Select all

//192.168.0.100/Downloads /mnt/downloads cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir-mode=0777 0 0
The username and password is located as you can see and is done correctly.

The line for mounting is about how the files and folders are represented as a Windows share.
I'm not sure it says anything about the access by local software.
Can you access the folder properly from a shell session running under the
same user account as SABnzbd?
