Unrar & Permission Errors

[loco88]

Hi all,

I've been going crazy trying to figure this out, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I installed SABnzbd on my Netgear Stora (which uses Red Hat Linux) through the following process:
Install ipkg
Ipkg unzip
Ipkg unrar
Install par2cmdline
Ipkg python
Install cherrypy
Install cheetah
Install SABnzbd

I initially got the 'par2, unzip, & unrar binary not found' messages but I remedied that by changing newsgrabber.py (for some reason my PATH had no effect) however I started getting the message "Your unrar version is not recommended, get it from http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm' so I updated it, no dice. I tried the versions at that link, no luck.

Not the biggest issue, however when a download completes it always fails and gives me the message "Error "[Errno 13] Permission denied" while unpacking RAR files". It will also throw up a similar message when performing a par2 check. I have adjusted the permissions while troubleshooting and made everything 777 to no avail, the same message. The only strange thing is that when I change them using winscp to 7777 and try unpacking using winrar, the files unpack as expected. If I do everything and them retry with SAbnzbd it fails, and if I don't change it in winscp I can't use winrar.

I did have absolute download and incomplete folders, I've sinced made them relative and within the SABnzbd directory and this hasn't affected anything.

Can anyone help? It'd be much appreciated. Let me know if I need to add/explain anything.

Thanks

What does unrar give as signon if you run it manually?
Does the rarlab version that you installed come first in the PATH?

The permissions issue is beyond me, as I don't know your platform.

I'm not sure what you mean/how I would get that information, can you tell me what I'd need to do to get this for you?
I uninstalled the ipkg version and still have the issue, I've also moved the unrar directory to the front of the PATH but it doesn't appear to affect the error message (I restarted SABnzbd)

Sorry, I've edited my post to include that the Stora runs Red Hat Linux.

Thanks

How about opening a shell session and typing unrar?

[shypike]

If SABnzbd sees /home/opt/bin/unrar as the first item in the path, then things won't work.
You have to make sure that the right unrar is found first.
Consider deleting /home/opt/bin/unrar, because it's corrupt or just not meant for your OS.

[loco88]

I've removed it and only have the ipkg version and am still having the problems

[shypike]

So, what do you see when you type just unrar?

However, when I go through the shell and use 'unrar e [rar file]' on completed files (that have still failed in SABnzbd due to permissions) I am able to successfully unrar the file even though SABnzbd cannot. I think changing the path has successfully allowed unrar to work, but now all downloads have "» Repairing failed, [Errno 13] Permission denied " which is different to before, as previously it appeared to be failing on the unpack.

To give some background:

My path file:

Code: Select all

PATH=/home/opt/bin:/home/opt:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

/home/opt/bin contains:

And my download and incomplete folders are set to 0777 permissions. If there's anything else I can post that may help, let me know!

Just an update, I've started trying whatever I can.

As far as I can tell, SABnzbd is running as root:

Code: Select all

-bash-3.2# ps ax -f | grep 'py'

On a job that fails through SABnzbd, the 'par2 r' command works:

How do you start SABnzbd?
From the same command prompt from where you run the manual commands?
If not, possible there are subtle differences in the environment variables.
Is the user account of the terminal session the same as for SABnzbd?

[loco88]

I start it through /etc/rc.local with nice 8 ionice c3 and as a daemon.

I think I've narrowed the problem down a bit. I did a fresh install from ipkg using version 0.5.6 and basically did all I could to break it and I couldn't; it works fine. So I downloaded the latest version 0.6.15 and extracted all the files to the same folder and ran SABnzbd.py. I had to re-run the wizard, I have 2 different sabnzbd.ini (one in /root/.sabnzbd/ and one in /home/opt/share/SABnzbd/) and I basically get one use out of SABnzbd. Once I restart it or the machine reboots, I get the errors and have problems.

Am I updating wrong? Is there a procedure I'm missing that would remedy this?

Thanks

[shypike]

Our standard tar.gz distribution file works different from most packages.
Out setup puts the sabnzbd.ini file in ~/.sabnzbd
All default paths might be different.

[loco88]

For some reason the .ini in the install directory only occurs after the second wizard (I always get 2 wizards when I use the 0.6.15 package for some reason)
