ubuntu UMS.conf problem

Post by anndrox »

I followed the instructions here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2761
and when I edit my UMS.conf to include my shared folders they do not show up. However I can load the jar file through terminal and everything works... Is it the ums script in init.d ?

I am having exactly the same issue, by following the same thread in the link.
With the script 'service ums start' - the server starts up and can be seen on my ps3 and other devices.
However, it does not take any of the settings from the UMS.conf file, and just has a limited option of all my drives on the ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS server.

If, I locally manually runit with a GUI, it has all the correct settings !!??!?
Can someone help please.

UMS is clearly looking in the wrong place for the config file when using the script. By default that is ~/.config/UMS (that is, if no profile path argument is given). I really don't know bash and init.d, but the profile path must point to the folder where UMS.conf is located. It seems like this line is setting it:

Code: Select all

UMS_PROFILE=/etc/ums
So the question is if the UMS.conf you edit is in that folder or not.

...also, ensure path is 775. Share your UMS.conf and debug if still not working...

I think you must additionally add this line:
export UMS_PROFILE

And then it must be working.

I hope that was the right way.
