Topic: NetJuke MP3 dB IBay Add-On

[jdanvers]

I have followed what is, near as I can tell, the defacto HOW-TO on installing this great little ibay add-on from this link:  http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/index.html?frame=http%3A//sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_8.htm

I have it up and running BUT...

I can't seem to make any changes to it, ie; I would like to change the security model, change the color scheme, etc...  everytime I go to make a change I get prompted to save a text file called inc-prefs.txt.  On another machine that I built about two years or so ago on a 6.x box (pre-contribs.org version) I can make changes like this all day and they "just happen".  Not here.

Ie; (if anyone familiar w/netjuke)
I log in as admin user.
Click Admin | Appearence Preferences
Change the theme from Artekopia to Creative Commons
Click Save

... I get asked about saving this file.

I have read someplace about "simply merging" this file with the existing inc-prefs.php file.  That doesn't appeal to me (not to mention the fact that I tried it and no change anyway...   )

I then went to the source, netjuke.org, and found this link where they mention something about giving the web server itself rights to the file in question - link here:  http://www.netjuke.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article

Tried that too - no joy.

Anyone?  What am I missing?  

TIA folks...

Have you tried to change to ownership of the file to your web user.
the command you need to run in you netjukeibay/etc directory is

Code: [Select]

chown -R www.www . inc-prefs.php
then you need to login as the admin user, click on the admin link then system preferences then select safe to file.

Mumm...  you 'da man.  I did change permissions on that file - just to the wrong user appparently.  I had tried apache - thought that would have been good enough - guess not.  www and your chmod -R seems to have done the trick.  

Thanks.
