Cannot Change 'Temporary Download Folder' > Cannot create download_dir folder
I'm trying to select a folder that lives outside of my default base folder because my home drive ran out of space. Do I need to change my default base folder? How do i change my default base folder?
How do I resume/repair a partially downloaded folder? I had to remove the job from que to attempt to save folder settings in the config.
I'm a linux newbie.
Ubuntu server 16
1.1.1RC3 [cbea4e3]

Re: Cannot Change 'Temporary Download Folder'
This error means that SABnzbd doesn't have access to the folder you're trying to write.
You can enter a direct path so starting with a /, just need to make sure the directory exists and that the SABnzbd user has rights to it.
If you do a Queue Repair (in the Status and Interface window) it will scan your Incomplete directory and re-add any jobs it finds there that weren't already in the queue.

Re: Cannot Change 'Temporary Download Folder'
Thanks for the reply. Path exists.
$ chmod -R 764 /media/mediadisk3/Downloads/
$ ls -l /media/mediadisk3/Downloads/incomplete
Everything seem to checkout on the front of permissions and folders existing. I can successfully save to a random folder within my base path.

Can you try 777 just to be sure? If you installed from the PPA sabnzbd is run as a different user.
