When any Jamu options include -M then Jamu will only use the backend's MythDB directory settings. The jamu.conf directories are ignored. So if your BE has its directories properly set and accessible there should not be any directory related errors.<br>
<br>
Jamu only runs on a backend machine as it needs direct access to the video and image directories.<br>
<br>
People are not always aware that all directory settings in the MythDB are per hostname. This means that if you are NOT using storage groups Jamu looks for frontend video and graphics directories associated with your backend's hostname. If you are not using storage groups and set a separate frontend's directory settings it means nothing to Jamu as the hostname will be different than the separate backend.<br>
<br>
If this is the reason that Jamu is not finding video and/or graphics directories then you need to add the directories to your backend preferable by running a FE on the BE (just for adding the directory settings) or by adding the records to the MythDB directly. Of course if you pick the direct to DB method please backup your database first. If you can possible avoid to not use the direct to db method. A FE takes very little disk space.<div>
