In the context of
|
|
[upgrading to FreeBSD 10]({% post_url 2015-02-18-upgrading-to-freebsd-10-1-release %}),
|
|
I reinstalled the [Subsonic media server](http://www.subsonic.org/) from ports.

Servlet container
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
It turns out that using Jetty as the underlying servlet container would not work:
|
|
I would get an obscure Java exception during various operations:
|
|
|
|
```

Message /WEB-INF/jsp/settingsHeader.jsp(12,0) PWC6340: According to the TLD, rtexprvalue is true, and deferred-value is specified for the attribute items of the tag handler org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.core.ForTokensTag, but the argument for the setter method is not a java.lang.Object
|
|
```

Switching to Tomcat 8 worked.

|
Changing filesystem charset to UTF-8
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
I had been using ISO-8859-15 filenames for ever. As part of the OS ugprade,
|
|
I decided it was more than time to switch the whole system to UTF-8. (One
|
|
specific issue that prompted this was the fact that GDM now seems to not
|
|
support ISO 8859-15 GECOS user names anymore).
|
|
|
|
In order to have Subsonic properly handle file and directory names encoded
|
|
in UTF-8, I had to set LANG for it:
|
|
|
|
```plain /etc/rc.conf.d/tomcat8
|
|
export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*and* to re-create the database from scratch (remove everything from
|
|
`/var/subsonic/db/` *except* `subsonic.script`).
