So I had some time tonight to take another look at this. I got the webUI working by installing the project under the first user rather than creating another one as suggested in the tutorial. I think I agree that there must have been a permissions problem before. The Samba share also works and I'm able to save images there. I checked through the mapped drive in windows and the command line in ubuntu that the files are getting to the /home/"username"/aiinput folder. I'm also checked that the file permissions are correct as per your suggestions in post #27.
The issue now is that the images are not being seen in the webUI. I've setup the UI as per the tutorial, but there is no indication that the program is looking in the right folder for the images. How can I check where it's looking?
The laravel.log file doesn't exist, which leads me to believe nothing is wrong with the program.
Thanks so much for the help and the great program. I'm looking forward to finally getting it working.
UPDATE:
I've been able to get over that last hurdle and now the program seems to be running properly. I'll have to monitor over the next few days to fine tune things.
I made a mistake in the trigger url and I can't figure out a way to modify or delete the bad web request automations. Perhaps that's a feature that should be added?
Thanks again guys for all the help and contributing to the community. Much appreciated.
