Root path "/home/$USER/SquishBox" not found!

[hasis]

Setup: Raspberry Pi 4, RaspOS Lite (2023-10-10)

Fresh install of the script, pressed [Y] for Web server, but web server returning a Root path not found error (technically this is a 200).

Running the headlesspi.py script directly (or via bashrc) seems to work:

nikita@raspberrypi:~ $ ./headlesspi.py 
fluidsynth: warning: Requested a period size of 64, got 444 instead
fluidsynth: Connection of Midi Through Port-0 succeeded
Loading bank 'bank1.yaml' .. 
fluidsynth: warning: Sample 'SineWave': ROM sample ignored
Bank loaded.
Selected patch 1/26: Piano

But no luck or obvious errors with the WebUI.

Thanks for the project, 🤞I can get this bit working! :)

This seems to be another change in Raspberry Pi OS moving from bullseye (debian 11) to bookworm (debian 12): home directories have permission 700 by default, which means the web server cannot view the contents of SquishBox/ in your home directory. The installer has been updated to fix this - if you re-run the installer and just install the web server it should fix things. You could also just enter the command:

sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi

replacing pi with your username, assuming you installed fluidpatcher in your home directory.

Very cool, thank you!
