Change the download dir

Post by MortenSJ »

Hi

I have an 60GB system disk and a 2TB disk for files.

Right now the complete download dir is /home/nas/download but i want it to be /disk1/Nyhedsgrupper/download.

disk1 is my mounted 2 TB harddisk. How do i change it? I tried to just write /disk1/Nyhedsgrupper/download but it says "Cannot create complete_dir folder /disk1/Nyhedsgrupper "

All the folders are created. I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04

You must make sure that the user that is running SABnzbd has the rights to create folders in the destination directory.

What you could try:

mkdir /disk1/Nyhedsgrupper
chmod 777 /disk1/Nyhedsgrupper

Thanks, it worked! .. Is it not possible to use 755 instead of 777?

Try it out and you will see & learn ...

(I would think: 5 = r.x ... no read for group and others ... then the user running SABnzbd must be the owner of that directory)

Well, that's the answer then. ;)

... or, if you want, dive deeper into it by doing and exploring ...
