Daemon doesn't work

[KevanGP]

[UPDATE] I fixed it. Can't remember what exactly fixed it but I had to change some file permissions to +rwx and also added the following lines to the top of my Liquidsoap script. #!/usr/bin/liquidsoap

Log dir

#log.file.path.set("/tmp/basic-radio.log") set("init.allow_root",true) set("server.telnet", false) set("server.telnet.port", 1234) set("harbor.bind_addr","0.0.0.0")

[ORIGINAL POST] The daemon won't work. I get the following with systemctl status main-liquidsoap.

What is resu>?

It also says to try "journalctl -xeu main-liquidsoap.service", but when I do that I get logs from several days ago. TBH I reinstalled Liquidsoap earlier, so that may have broken things. But if I run liquidsoap without the daemon it works fine.

I just figured it out when installing it on another device. You have to run the following to make it work, assuming the name of your script file is "main.liq". sudo sh /path-to/daemonize-liquidsoap.sh main

The readme didn't say run it as root, but at least it works.
