Topic: Jinzora Contrib Kicking My A$$

[jdanvers]

Hey guys... what am I missing?

Fresh build sme 7.0 server from my cd that I built when it was first released (production, not one of the betas), and then updated to (presumably) 7.1.  I just built this box today - 27 Feb 07.

I installed the jinzora contrib as shown here --> http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=35530.0

Piece of cake.  I'm stuck, and starting to get frustrated, at step 6 of the web based installer ( http://myserver/jinzora/ ) - "Backend Setup" but let me backup a step to "Main Settings"...

The 1st part is easy - admin username / admin password - I'm just using admin (default) and the same admin passwd as what the system uses - the box is internal, server only mode - purely for testing / playing / learning.  Security not a big issue.  Access level - standard user.   Backend type Database, Front End slick, Blue Grey for the Style.  Data Structure = Filesystem.  

( Proceed to Backend Setup ) (( and this is where something is wacked ))

Database user - default is root (I don't care - I'll use this)
Password - I'll use system (admin) passwd again
dB Name = jinzora2 (default I think)
dBServer = localhost
dBType = MYSQL
Create dB = ( I've tried both True and True (drop) )

... I keep getting (I think) dB creation errors.  Do I in fact have to use the 'False' choice and then use the install/jinzora.sql thing-a-ma-bob?  If that is the case...  how do??  {shrug shoulders}

I found another post here in the forums re: enabling mysql network connections - I did:

config setprop mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly no

... that from a putty shell and then did the signal-event upgrade / reboot commands.  Still no joy.  ;(  ;(

Initially this looked surprisingly butt easy - that was an hour or two ago and I'm getting tired of getting my butt kicked here....  <grin>

Thanks guys...

Step 6 > Mysql values
- databasename 'jinzora2'
- user 'jinzora'
- find mysql password with 'config show jinzora' [see extra settings below]
- Create Database : true if it's your first time, but look for
"The database tables have been created successfully." in the output
Step 7 - enter the full path to your music
eg. /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dungog/files/music/
php open_basedir expects the music to be in an ibay
[symlinks don't work, mounting drives under ibays may]

after installed, rm -rf /opt/jinzora/install

And the command you entered into putty enabled you do make databases trough LAN and i know that you're just testing things but don't use commands you don't know if something doesn't work. It's better to ask.  

Did you install both
http://sme.dungog.net/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/RPMS.dungog/jinzora-2.7-1.noarch.rpm
and
http://sme.dungog.net/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/RPMS.dungog/smeserver-jinzora-0.9-6.noarch.rpm

If not do it now and then continue with the instructions i have posted. If you installed jinzora make sure that you also instal smeserver-jinzora.

- find mysql password with 'config show jinzora' [see extra settings below]

The "Extra Settings" that bpivk refers to appear to be at the bottom of this page in the Security & Settings section. It looks like this might be the relevant section

Find your mysql password for this web app by running the following command
'config show torrentflux'

So it looks like if you run

Code: [Select]

config show jinzora it will give you the mysql password.

haymann that's what i posted

- find mysql password with 'config show jinzora' [see extra settings below]

Ok we can leave the extra settings but i didn't have the will to delete that part of the text.

Yes you have to type config show jinzora and then paste the password into password field. But you have to install smeserver-jinzora first.

you've highlighted a problem with the documentation

a.
> Installation: "yum --enablerepo=smedev install smeserver-jinzora"
has outdated rpms

b.
the instructions here are not mentioned
http://www.dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#jinzora

[jdanvers]

Snoble...   Bingo!  Thats pretty much what I was (am) thinking.  That test machine that I was monkeying around with yesterday is history as I needed to gut it for parts for a user (I'm playing @work).  I've got another one that I'm fixing on building today and I'm thinking that I'm going to try this again but use some of the lessons learned from yesterday to see if perhaps a "streamlined" how-to sort of install instruction could be written up.

Three hours after previous post...  this thing WILL NOT install based on any available information in these forums.  At least not for me.  { sigh }  

In detail here is what I have tried:

Install 7.1 SME from CD

Log into server-manager of newly built machine, go straight to software updates - update and reboot as required

Enable remote access so that I can ssh into it

Relax the damn password strength requirements... and then create user and admin group to assign myself to.

Create ibay to house music files

Download and install these two files --> jinzora-2.7-1.noarch.rpm & smeserver-jinzora-0.9-6.noarch.rpm.  I believe that they are sourced from dungog.  I tried both rpm -Uvh *.rpm and even the more proper yum localinstall (on subsequent retries)

Change the permission on some files per this post --> http://www.dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#jinzora (at INSTALL)

Finally...  start the web based installer.

It fails EVERY single time at step 6 (Backend setup).  EVERY single time.

Observation:  According to what I've read and been told the username should be 'jinzora' - and there should be a log string of jibberish for the password based on output from config show:

[root@crowtunes tmp]# config show jinzora
jinzora=service
    DbPassword=
    Name=Jinzora Jukebox
    PublicAccess=local
[root@crowtunes tmp]#

... as you can see, the name is NOT 'jinzora' but rather 'Jinzora Jukebox' and apparently there is NO (??) password.

I don't know if white space in the db username is a problem, no password is a problem, or what.  I have uninstalled ( rpm -e the two packages above ) and then subsequently removed the /opt/jinzora directory structure several times.  Re-install try again.

I give up.

I installed netjuke several times on my, and others, 6.x machines and that just flat out, plain and simple worked.  1st time, every time.  This (jinzora) is a bummer.

{big sigh....} ;(  ;(  ;(

[stephen noble]

if DbPassword is blank there is no way it will work
that is the point to raise a bug

the webapp.php page explains what Name does
it isn't related to passwords or mysql

Hi guys.

Just been playing with the joomla contrib from Dungog.
And I have exactly the same problem with missing password.
Is this something funny in SME or in the Dungog install routines?.

[stephen noble]

it's entirely possible that there is an introduced bug,

http://www.dungog.net/sme/changelog/index.php
* Thu Jan 25 2007
- remove phpinfo
- simplify mysql password creation
- add php directives
- don't alias / in httpd for nul values in URL
- [0.9-4]

but i haven't received a bug report ...

Has anyone been able to to get jinzora to work?
Is there a better how out there for 7.1 server?

[jehu]

Ok did the Yum update for which included the latest version of jinzora and was able to get the database password.
I still think I like netjuke better...it seems to be very slow and this is while on my LAN.  I will test some more.
