Hi guys !

I've just made a little mistake but i don't know what. I tried to make a backup with the plugin but it's always resume with an error so to see what's going on i tried to check logs but my logs wasn't updated 'till a long time so like a genius (lol) i did a "rm -r /var/lib/emby/logs" then "mkdir /var/lib/emby/logs". Big mistake because it removed all my logs cool but won't create logs.

I tried to restart emby with "service emby-server restart" but it's resume with an error :

also i've found a command on the forum : "nohup /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server &" and it's worked but "service emby-server restart" and "service emby-server status" show the error.

Can anyone help me ? Thanks ! :)

Chances are you recreated the logs directory as the wrong user and emby can't access.

ls -la /var/lib/emby

All files/dirs should be owned by emby:emby.

If the logs directory doesn't match the others then change ownership to match (assuming emby:emby below, if not then change to actual):

sudo chown -R emby:emby /var/lib/emby/logs

Then restart the emby service.

Depending on how long you ran the server with nohup it's possible that other files in the emby home (cache, data, metadata, etc.) could have been created with the wrong ownership. If you find some then shutdown emby server and recursively change ownership for /var/lib/emby then restart.
