Need some assistance; weird issue occurred
Added by Lisa White 10 months ago
Hey Guys, it has been awhile since I have posted but I ran into a problem this morning. My tvheadend server has been running flawlessly for many years. I updated to the current version last night and it was business as usual. This morning, the timer that I have had set many years ago began to record my tvshow and tvheadend crashed. I could not get it going and kept receiving a 403 forbidden error when trying to log in. I tried the normal troubleshooting routines and had no luck. I noticed during trouble shooting that tvheadend's .hts folders were gone and new folders were created in var/lib/tvheadend. The only 2 files that were within the tvheadend folder was superuser and recording folder. Finally, after many wasted hours of trying to resolve this issue I decided to do a total reinstall. I built tvheadend_4.3-2203~gbcfbe7dbe~jammy_amd64 from source and reinstalled. I tried to log in and got the same 403 error and the same problem with only having the superuser and recording folder within the tvheadend folder.
Can someone shed some light on how to correct this? I am out of ideas.
Thanks,
~Lisa
I just made headway with this. The files were installed hidden within the var/lib/tvheadend. The main folder is .config with the hts folder inside containing the hts config files. The superuser was in wrong location. I changed permissions within folder and moved superuser file into /var/lib/tvheadend/.config/hts/. Stopped tvheadend and restarted. Web gui is back up and I am logged in. I will set system backup and post if I run into any other snags.
Thanks guys
Lisa
