[Solved] Bubba|two FireFly

[MaverikCH]

Hi there

I'm wondering if it's only with me or generelly.

When i access the FireFly Media Server http://(mybubbaservername):3689 and login with the login credentials i get a menu Configuration. On clicking the menu it stays empty.

wanted to check if firefly has (like squeezebox server) plugins which i may activate like a last.fm scrobbler

kind regards

Not sure what you mean by the "menu stays empty"? I can click the menus and they seem to work.. See image.

[MaverikCH]

Now click on "configuration"

the page is empty

[johannes]

wierd, not for me. Did you fiddle with firefly settings? Is it running?

Please also look here and see if any of the tips there helps you..

No i didn't edit anything

Well i tried now the doing by Rob Groen » 23 Mar 2011, 21:21

Code: Select all

su 
(root-pw)

then

Code: Select all

vi /etc/mt-daapd.conf
:x
/etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart

also they were talking bout ownerships:

Code: Select all

joseserver:/# ls -l /etc/mt-daapd.conf
-rw------- 1 www-data root 8097 2010-04-26 10:50 /etc/mt-daapd.conf

My config is also empty. I know this has been the same on my Bubba 2 and on my B3. I thought this had something to do with my changing the FireFly password. There was a post about it some time ago (maybe one or two years back), but I cannot find it rigt now. You can always make changes to the config file using SSH.

I didn't change the admin passwort nor the music passwort (which isn't set).

I think you're talking about the same topic as Johannes did:

Yeah, i know, but not sure what to change though

I'm more likely thinking about replacing it by a default config file. maybe Johannes has one

[johannes]

Sure, here:

http://demo.myownb3.com/mt-daapd.conf

[MaverikCH]

OK i saved the file to the bubba storage folder

\\joseserver\storage\backup\bubba2\firefly_config\mt-daapd.conf

then over putty i copied from storage to etc
* logged in with my ssh User and password
* gave administrative rights with su + password
* went to the storage folder:

Code: Select all

cd /home/storage/backup/bubba2/firefly_config/

* copied the file to /etc

Code: Select all

scp mt-daapd.conf /etc/mt-daaped.conf

* Restarted mt-daapd

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart

Still empty Config-Page

I went to the source code of config.html and found following:

Code: Select all

...
<h2>Configuration</h2><span id="toggle_basic_advanced"></span>
<div id="config_not_writable_warning" class="message_div" style="display: none;">Your config file is not writable, you can not change anything using this webpage</div>
...

Well i'm better in html/css then ssh and style="display:none;" tells not to display it (lol, why so?)

well here once more the attribut of mt-daapd.conf

Code: Select all

joseserver:/# ls -l /etc/mt-daapd.conf
-rw------- 1 www-data root 8097 2011-11-24 22:53 /etc/mt-daapd.conf

Any Ideas? -.-

[johannes]

Some googling says this is a browser issue. Can you please try chrome or firefox (if you aren't already)?

[MaverikCH]

I'm using Firefox 8 and tried IE 9 (latest version). i'm not keen on chrome. it "overdrives" my internet settings i.e. cleaning up windows registry is not fun -.-

what kind of browser issue? maybe i should report mozilla

[johannes]

That article suggested it was an IE problem, and that FF worked. I run it in FF (unknown version, how the #! do I check nowdays??) and it works fine.

What if you try ours:
http://demo.myownb3.com:3689/config.html

[MaverikCH]

Your Bubba3 demo Firefly Configurartion Site comes properly :/

well i googled now with 'firefly "Your config file is not writable, you can not change anything using this webpage"' and found this command:

Code: Select all

chmod 0666 /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

found out that it changes the attributes of a file.

well bubba locates the mtdaapd.confi on etc. though i corrected the patch though

attributes are now:

Code: Select all

-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data root 8097 2011-11-24 22:53 /etc/mt-daapd.conf
joseserver:/#

mine is still blank. with same hidden text

well also i placed it on a subfolder of etc (like upon code):

Code: Select all

joseserver:/# mkdir etc/mt-daapd
joseserver:/# scp /etc/mt-daapd.conf /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
joseserver:/# /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart   

no changes ':-|

[MaverikCH]

what the hell?! even the configuration page of this published firefly server frontend shows up properly http://www.edwardvahlin.com/config.html

[MaverikCH]

maybe we should consult the syslog? mt-daapd log file is not configured. but i have no idea where the sys log is located.
