The Unity Asset Server is installed on our Mac server, but after a reboot of the server we’ve been unable to connect to the server. Trying to start the server with the following:
postmaster -D /Library/UnityAssetServer/data
Returns with "cannot access the server configuration file “/Library/UnityAssetServer/data/postgresql.conf”: Permission denied.
I’ve tried to login as root, and that doesn’t work. Since I used the Mac install package, I have no recollection of the password for the postgrel user. Can anyone help?
Thanks!!!
The asset server has to be started as the unitysrv user. The user does not have a password so you will have to first switch to root and then unitysrv.
This is taken care of by the UnityAssetServer startup item in /Library/StartupItems. You should run sudo /Library/StartupItems/UnityAssetServer/UnityAssetServer start to manually launch the asset server.
If that doesn’t work, the installation may have been corrupted. In that case re-run the Asset Server installer. (This will not delete your existing data, and you wil be offered to reset the asset server administrator password.)
If all this fails please send the contents of /Library/UnityAssetServer/log using the Report Bug.app installed with Unity and describe the problem.
