# Fix: startup.json Still Has Wrong WebDir
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
After fixing the code, `startup.json` is still created with:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "C:/ProgramData/jellyfin/wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Root Cause
|
|
The fix in `StartupHelpers.cs` (line 141) only affects **newly created** files. If `startup.json` already exists in one of these locations, it won't be recreated:
|
|
1. Current directory: `D:\Projects\pgsql-jellyfin\startup.json`
|
|
2. Application directory: `bin\Debug\net11.0\startup.json`
|
|
3. Config directory: `bin\Debug\net11.0\config\startup.json`
|
|
|
|
## Solutions
|
|
|
|
### **Solution 1: Delete Existing startup.json** (Quickest)
|
|
|
|
Delete the existing `startup.json` file and let Jellyfin recreate it with correct values:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Find and delete startup.json files
|
|
Remove-Item -Path ".\startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
Remove-Item -Path ".\bin\Debug\net11.0\startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
Remove-Item -Path ".\bin\Debug\net11.0\config\startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
Remove-Item -Path ".\bin\Release\net11.0\startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
Remove-Item -Path ".\bin\Release\net11.0\config\startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
|
|
Write-Host "Deleted existing startup.json files. Run Jellyfin to recreate with correct paths."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Solution 2: Edit Existing startup.json Manually**
|
|
|
|
1. Find the file: `startup.json`
|
|
2. Open in a text editor
|
|
3. Change:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "C:/ProgramData/jellyfin/wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
To:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
4. Save
|
|
|
|
### **Solution 3: PowerShell Script to Fix All Instances**
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Fix WebDir in all startup.json files
|
|
|
|
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse -Filter "startup.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
|
|
foreach ($file in $files) {
|
|
Write-Host "Checking: $($file.FullName)"
|
|
|
|
$content = Get-Content $file.FullName -Raw
|
|
|
|
# Check if it has the wrong path
|
|
if ($content -match '"WebDir":\s*"C:/ProgramData/jellyfin/wwwroot"') {
|
|
Write-Host " -> Found incorrect WebDir, fixing..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
|
|
|
|
# Backup
|
|
Copy-Item $file.FullName "$($file.FullName).backup"
|
|
|
|
# Fix it
|
|
$newContent = $content -replace '"WebDir":\s*"C:/ProgramData/jellyfin/wwwroot"', '"WebDir": "wwwroot"'
|
|
Set-Content -Path $file.FullName -Value $newContent
|
|
|
|
Write-Host " -> Fixed! (Backup created)" -ForegroundColor Green
|
|
} else {
|
|
Write-Host " -> Already correct" -ForegroundColor Green
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Write-Host ""
|
|
Write-Host "Done! Rebuild and run Jellyfin." -ForegroundColor Cyan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Solution 4: Add Code to Auto-Fix on Startup** (Most Robust)
|
|
|
|
Add code to automatically update incorrect paths when loading the config file. This ensures old config files are fixed automatically.
|
|
|
|
I can implement this in `StartupHelpers.cs` if you want.
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
After applying a fix, check your `startup.json`:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Get-Content startup.json | Select-String "WebDir"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Should show:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Not:
|
|
```json
|
|
"WebDir": "C:/ProgramData/jellyfin/wwwroot"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why This Matters
|
|
|
|
Using relative path `"wwwroot"` instead of absolute path:
|
|
- ✅ Makes installation portable
|
|
- ✅ Works regardless of where Jellyfin is installed
|
|
- ✅ Matches the template file `startup.json.windows`
|
|
- ✅ Consistent with other platforms
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Choose a solution above** (I recommend Solution 1 - delete and recreate)
|
|
2. **Rebuild** the project
|
|
3. **Run** Jellyfin
|
|
4. **Verify** the new `startup.json` has `"WebDir": "wwwroot"`
|
|
|
|
Would you like me to implement Solution 4 (auto-fix code) to prevent this issue in the future?
