FreeNAS Sickrage - Help & Info Web Page Fix

freenas.sr.help.fix.txt

After switching to the new repo and updating, I lost the ability to see the SickRage Version, branch and commit on the Help & Info page. After trying seveal methods, I've came down to this ... It might not be the only way to do it, but it worked for me as of today (01/29/2016)

Credits go to neoatomic and delfrogo (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/new-sickrage-repo.39368/)

Step 1.
Do a backup with the Sickrage GUI. The procedure should not break anything but let's be cautious.

Step 2.
Stop Sickrage plugin in the FreeNAS GUI by going in Plugins, Installed, Stop.

Step 3.
Via command line, enter your Sickrage Jail (after logging in your FreeNAS, type "jls" to find the Sickrage jail number. After use the command "jexec 'jail number without quotes' tcsh")

Step 4.
Move to a tmp folder and download the sickrage zip from the github.
cd /tmp
git clone git://github.com/SickChill/SickChill.git SickRage

Step 5.
Delete the old SickRage folder.
rm -R /usr/pbi/sickrage-amd64/share/sickrage/SickRage

Step 6.
Copy the newly downloaded SickRage folder from the tmp folder to the one you just deleted.
cp -R /tmp/SickRage /usr/pbi/sickrage-amd64/share/sickrage/

Step 7.
From there, you need to give permission to the new sickrage folder. I tried giving 755 but it didn't work, 777 did the job. I know it might be dangerous, but it's the way I found.
chmod -R 777 /usr/pbi/sickrage-amd64/share/sickrage/SickRage

Step 8.
Restart Sickrage from the FreeNAS GUI. In Sickrage, you should see no difference except for the Help & Info page. Pressing the Check for Update button should work without any problem.

Cheers,

I didn't have a git binary in my jail so I downloaded the zip instead for step 4:

wget https://codeload.github.com/SickChill/SickChill/zip/master
unzip master
mv SickChill-master SickRage

But these instructions did get me working again after things got all messed up after some update. Thanks.
