Couchpotato on Erasmus 3.0.30 password reset?

bogie6040 · 25. August 2016

I had couchpotato working and then it decided to start asking for a user name and password.... Anyone know how to reset the username and password on this version?
The settings.conf file that other threads I've read about for the OMV 2.x versions does not exist.

Thanks,

Bogie

The settings file should be there, /var/opt/couchpotato/settings.conf
You need to fully stop CP before editing that file.

I disabled the service and tried to go to that directory but there is nothing in /var/opt/
I even installed mlocate and searched for settings.conf - it finds nothing.
Do I need to uninstall and re-install?

Try the backup option on the plugin page, if settings are in the correct location it will allow a backup to be made, if not, it will give an error.
If it does error then something is very wrong and i would suggest that you uninstall/re-install.

The backup worked, then I noticed the settings folder was listed in the services window for couchpotato...
Apparently it was stored in a different directory....
/media/<big long alpha numeric number>/Couchpotato/settings.conf
I edited it with nano and cleared the password field, saved and after a really lengthy wait of applying configuration changes from re-enabling the service, it works now.

I don't know why mlocate couldn't find the file - a system permissions thing I'm guessing... Oh well it works now.

Thanks Jhmiller
