Looking for config in /root/.config/PMS/PMS.conf

[br0k3nh3@rt]

Host: Arch Linux, Linux 3.3.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 00:26:26 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
PSM: 1.53.0

First post here, but I've been using PSM for almost 8 months. Recently (since some upgrades, Jun 7 - see below) it has been acting funny. It no longer looks for the config file in /opt/pms, it now searches the path '$USER/.config/PMS'. I have been lazy so far and I had been running it like this:

Code: Select all

while 1; do sudo ./PMS.sh ; done


in a tmux session. It was working beautifully because on the odd hangup or crash the server would restart and all was well.

I did some upgrades (Arch Linux is a rolling release distro) and poof, I started having these problems. Nothing seemed like it would affect this to me though:

It still 'works' but its not honoring my configuration options. This is a headless server.

And what is your question?

[br0k3nh3@rt]

And what is your question?

#1 why is it not using the config located at /opt/pms/PMS.conf anymore

#2 Why does it not honor the configuration even if I put it in the apparent path its look in '$HOME/.config/PMS/PMS.conf'

You can set profile directory with PMS_PROFILE environment variable before PMS.sh startup.

FAQ: How can I launch PMS with a custom profile?

I'm having a similar issue on Ubuntu. My init.d script is something like:

Code: Select all

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DESC="PS3 Media Server"
NAME=ps3mediaserver
#PS3MS_PROFILE=/etc/$NAME # 1st initialization for PS3MS_PROFILE
PS3MS_PROFILE=/home/adam/.config/$NAME
DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
DAEMON_OPTS="console"
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
PS3MS_START=1 # Wether to start or not ps3mediaserver server at boot t$
DODTIME=10


and I even changed my /etc/default/ps3mediaserver to be:

Code: Select all

PS3MS_START="1"  # change to "1" to enable ps3mediaserver autostart
PS3MS_USER="adam"
#PS3MS_PROFILE="/etc/ps3mediaserver/"
PS3MS_PROFILE="/home/adam/.config/ps3mediaserver"

# memory limit for JVM (-Xmx option)
PS3MS_MEM="768M"

# Additional options that are passed to the Daemon.
DAEMON_OPTS="console"


When I start the server using sudo /etc/init.d/ps3mediaserver start, then it always searches for a non-existant conf in /home/root/.config.
If I start the server with my regular user by dropping the sudo, all is good, but this will not work of course after reboot.

Note that I have also tried placing the conf into /etc/ps3mediaserver/ as per the default and no luck. It still searched within /home/root/.config.

Any ideas?
