drumlin 0 Posted January 1, 2020 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!
Luke 40079 Posted January 1, 2020 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 !
drumlin 0 Posted January 1, 2020 Author 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. Here is the output: # dnf install https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.3.1.0/emby-server-rpm_4.3.1.0_x86_64.rpmFedora Modular 29 - x86_64 40 kB/s | 18 kB 00:00 Fedora Modular 29 - x86_64 - Updates 83 kB/s | 17 kB 00:00 Fedora 29 - x86_64 - Updates 49 kB/s | 17 kB 00:00 Fedora 29 - x86_64 106 kB/s | 18 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 29 - Free - Updates 4.1 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 29 - Free 23 kB/s | 3.2 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 29 - Nonfree - Updates 6.1 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 29 - Nonfree 6.3 kB/s | 3.2 kB 00:00 Fedora 29 - x86_64 - VirtualBox 342 B/s | 181 B 00:00 emby-server-rpm_4.3.1.0_x86_64.rpm 17 MB/s | 70 MB 00:04 Dependencies resolved.================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size================================================================================Installing: emby-server x86_64 4.3.1.0-1 @commandline 70 MUpgrading: glibc x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 3.8 M glibc-all-langpacks x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 25 M glibc-common x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 802 k glibc-devel x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 1.0 M glibc-headers x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 464 k glibc-langpack-en x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 814 kInstalling dependencies: libnsl x86_64 2.28-39.fc29 updates 85 kTransaction Summary================================================================================Install 2 PackagesUpgrade 6 PackagesTotal size: 102 MTotal download size: 32 MIs this ok [y/N]: yDownloading Packages:(1/7): libnsl-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rpm 282 kB/s | 85 kB 00:00 (2/7): glibc-common-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rpm 3.9 MB/s | 802 kB 00:00 (3/7): glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rpm 5.0 MB/s | 3.8 MB 00:00 (4/7): glibc-devel-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rpm 3.6 MB/s | 1.0 MB 00:00 (5/7): glibc-headers-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rpm 3.5 MB/s | 464 kB 00:00 (6/7): glibc-langpack-en-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64.rp 5.3 MB/s | 814 kB 00:00 (7/7): glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64. 14 MB/s | 25 MB 00:01 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Total 14 MB/s | 32 MB 00:02 Running transaction checkTransaction check succeeded.Running transaction testTransaction test succeeded.Running transaction Running scriptlet: emby-server-4.3.1.0-1.x86_64 1/1 Preparing : 1/1 Upgrading : glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 1/14 Upgrading : glibc-common-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 2/14 Upgrading : glibc-langpack-en-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 3/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 4/14 Upgrading : glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 4/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 4/14 Installing : libnsl-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 5/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-headers-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 6/14 Upgrading : glibc-headers-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 6/14 Upgrading : glibc-devel-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 7/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-devel-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 7/14 Installing : emby-server-4.3.1.0-1.x86_64 8/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-devel-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 9/14 Cleanup : glibc-devel-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 9/14 Cleanup : glibc-headers-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 10/14 Cleanup : glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 11/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 11/14 Cleanup : glibc-common-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 12/14 Cleanup : glibc-langpack-en-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 13/14 Cleanup : glibc-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 14/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 14/14 Running scriptlet: emby-server-4.3.1.0-1.x86_64 14/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 14/14 Running scriptlet: glibc-common-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 14/14 Verifying : libnsl-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 1/14 Verifying : emby-server-4.3.1.0-1.x86_64 2/14 Verifying : glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 3/14 Verifying : glibc-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 4/14 Verifying : glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 5/14 Verifying : glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 6/14 Verifying : glibc-common-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 7/14 Verifying : glibc-common-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 8/14 Verifying : glibc-devel-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 9/14 Verifying : glibc-devel-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 10/14 Verifying : glibc-headers-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 11/14 Verifying : glibc-headers-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 12/14 Verifying : glibc-langpack-en-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 13/14 Verifying : glibc-langpack-en-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64 14/14Upgraded: glibc-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 glibc-all-langpacks-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 glibc-common-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 glibc-headers-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 glibc-langpack-en-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 Installed: emby-server-4.3.1.0-1.x86_64 libnsl-2.28-39.fc29.x86_64 Complete!
Luke 40079 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 @@drumlin can you try installing the beta package and see how that compares? Thanks !
BAlGaInTl 280 Posted January 10, 2020 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?
drumlin 0 Posted April 9, 2020 Author 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.

Luke 40079 Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Hi, please see this topic for a resolution: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/82976-new-install-failed Thanks.
drumlin 0 Posted April 10, 2020 Author 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!
