Cannot change Web-Files path - YP2743 - 2024-07-15
Hello everyone I'm having a problem with the Web-Files path. My path is at "/usr/share/jellyfin/web". After I have a restart of my server for some reasons the path is changed to "/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web" which does not existed so when I try to access the web interface i see a blank screen. But when i use "systemctl status jellyfin" I see that my webdir is correctly at "/usr/share/jellyfin/web" but when I use the jellyfin command line it tells me that the webdir is at "/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web".
I even try to edit the " jellyfin.service " file to use the --webdir option but stills have the same problem. I start my jellyfin service using "systemctl start jellyfin".
(systemctl status jellyfin)

RE: Cannot change Web-Files path - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-15
Do not run Jellyfin by simply typing "jellyfin". The service file contains a bunch of parameters that point Jellyfin-web to the correct directory, among other options, that simply typing "jellyfin" does not include.
Try to avoid editing the service files. The "JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT" variable is defined in /etc/default/jellyfin and correctly points to /usr/share/jellyfin/web. Revert the manual change you made.
Always start Jellyfin with systemctl. It should be starting on boot anyway.
