drumlin 0 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I thought I would give emby a try on my linux (Fedora 29) workstation. But somehow I can't get beyond the basic setup. I followed the instructions found on https://emby.media/linux-server.html. So it seemed pretty simple, two steps, as far as I could tell. So step 1 is install the rpm, which I did, and step 2 is "Open a web browser to http://localhost:8096". But all I get is the "Unable to connect" "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8096." page. So I added starting the server: "systemctl start emby-server" which didn't help. I thought maybe a firewall issue, so I also did "firewall-cmd --add-port 8096/tcp", "firewall-cmd --add-port 8096/udp", "firewall-cmd --reload" followed by "systemctl restart emby-server". All I get is the same "Unable to connect". What am I missing? I can't seem to get beyond this simple first step. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37238 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 HI there, are you sure the install completed successfully? Can you try installing again, then provide the complete terminal output? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumlin 0 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thank you for the reply! There aren't too many things what one can be 100 % sure of. But I am pretty sure the install was successful for two reasons. First, there were no error messages when I installed. And second, I was able to do the command (as I mentioned in my first post) "systemctl start emby-server" with no errors or complaints. I don't need to re-install since I still have the terminal open.

BAlGaInTl 279 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Probably a stupid question... but I assume that you are trying to open the page on the same machine that you did the install on? Maybe try replacing localhost with the IP address of the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumlin 0 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thank you for the replies, and sorry for the delay in my response. BaIGalnt: Thank you for the suggestion, but I did try it.

drumlin 0 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 That did the trick. I gave read/write/execute user (emby) and group (emby) permission to /var/lib/emby. May have been slight overkill but it works now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
