Installing Newznab on QNAP

[forkless]

I'll look at it later tomorrow, one thing I noticed I never amended is the TMP dir alteration. IF you are running MariaDB instead of MySQL then this variable no longer needs to be adjusted as the MariaDB tmp dir is now located on the array/physical disk instead of the /tmp on ramdisk.

I'm just using the built-in MySQL server, and everything works great when I execute the scripts from the command line, but not at startup. Looking through the posts, it appears others have had this problem as well.

The problem is that the following command in autorun.sh doesn't run at start-up, or there is an error with it I cannot see.

Code: Select all

screen -S nab sh /share/.../update_scripts/nix_scripts/newznab_screen.sh

There is a post about the broken-ness of screen on QNAP QTS here: http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Screen_command
So I've tried adding the following above my screen command in autorun.sh:

Code: Select all

touch /var/run/utmp
ln -s /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-xfree86 /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color
ln -s /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-xfree86 /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-color

I also added full paths to screen and sh, as well as -d -m options to screen:

Code: Select all

/opt/bin/screen -d -m -S nab /bin/sh /share/.../update_scripts/nix_scripts/newznab_screen.sh

I am now seeing a log message I've put in 'newznab_screen.sh' showing up in the system log (further than I got before), but I still can't open a terminal and attach to the screen. There's nothing related to Newznab when I list screens either, so I don't think it's running. I'll report back if I make any progress.

Try

Code: Select all

/opt/bin/screen -s -dmSnab /share/path/to/script

CTRL A, CTRL D to detach then to re-attach

Code: Select all

/opt/bin/screen -r nab

Thanks again forkless.

Works from the command line, but not on reboot.

What's interesting is I added a log entry just before the 'do' in newznab_screen.sh script, and it actually shows up in the system log...

Code: Select all

...
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Starting Usenet Indexing..."

 do
CURRTIME=`date +%s`
cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH}
$CMD_PHP ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_binaries.php
$CMD_PHP ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_releases.php
...

But I also have this at the bottom of the script, and it never shows up...

Code: Select all

echo "Waiting ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} Seconds..."
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Pausing Usenet Indexing For ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} Seconds..."

sleep ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME}

Perhaps the screen session is getting killed or exits?

On boot, it creates the folder '/tmp/screens/S-admin', but it's always empty. Unlike running it from the command line... the session in 'S-admin' is listed

[forkless]

The only thing I can think of is that when you fire it up from the autorun context is that you are missing some system variables such as SHELL and TERM that are a prerequisite for screen.

Alternatively you can create an QPKG entry and create an init script for it. The only thing I would advise to do on the stop signal is to check if the loop is on it's pause cycle so it can safely shut down, you really don't want to kill off the process when it's inserting binaries and/or post-processing them for meta.

The upside of using this method is that the NAS services script will now be fully aware of your app and it won't lock up during f/w updates and reboots preventing it from generating unclean volumes.

I have read through the whole topic, but have not managed to find a solution. I am trying to get NEWZNAB running on a TVS-EC1080+. I have the web portion of NEWZNAB running, but when trying to update using /mnt/ext/opt/apache/bin/php -c /php.ini update_releases.php I get errors

Could not open input file: update_releases.php/mnt/ext/opt/apache/bin/php

I have no idea where to start to fix that.

I tried running the scripts from [/share/Web/newznab/misc/update_scripts] using php update_releases.php

and I then get the following error:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'PDO' not found in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Web/newznab/www/config.php on line 14

At this point I am stuck, and do not know the way forward and would appreciate your assistance

[forkless]

Can you try to call the php command without the -c /php.ini option.

My T-453 Pro recently crashed, and I switched to Entware when rebuilding it. I'm back to installing Newznab, which I've had running for years without issue on my NAS.

My problem is that there is no php-pear package in Entware, and I'm not sure how I get it integrated.

Is anyone else using Entware and successfully running Newznab?

I've posted this question below, as early as January with no replies:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

If you have enough memory on your 453 Pro I would suggest switching to a virtual machine running Ubuntu or something similar, far less headaches.

[tranzy]

Having the same issue!

Rather have (in my case) Spotweb running directly on the NAS the have it in a VM.

EXACT same issue here too.. php-pear is the only thing thats failing the pre-req tests..

When I use the Qapache httpd webserver, newznab pre-req tests complains of no mysql support , and dont know how to get around that issue either

[mupet0000]

I wonder if anyone can help. I have installed Apache, phpmyadmin and newznab. Using the built in SQL. When starting newznab for the first time it goes through the preflight checklist and everything passes except one thing:

Checking for mysql_connect():
The PHP installation lacks support for MySQL(mysql_connect).

I am a novice and I can't seem to find any documentation about this. I probably need to configure something in phpmyadmin but I just don't know what.

I have restarted my NAS just to make sure, and everything is running.
