Topic: Fancy jukebox

[Michael Smith]

The MP3 Jukebox blade is nice ... but if you want something quite a bit fancier, try http://netjuke.sourceforge.net (Netjuke).  It installs easily in an ibay but you have to move all your mp3 files to /home/e-smith/files/ibays/netjuke/var/music; it won't properly find them in your old music ibay without some VERY tedious fiddling with permissions. I found that even if you disable the jukebox on the appropriate ibay and install Netjuke there it doesn't work properly ... at least *I* couldn't get it to work.  A more experienced hand would probably have no trouble.  As for me, a fresh install in a fresh ibay and voila!

Okay, you're putting me on the spot to do a Real Live Howto, aren't you?  All right ... but not until I get these invoices out & these bills paid.  A couple of days ... I'll even test the procedure on another box just to check.

I have tried installing it and I can't get past the install script.  The error I am getting says that it can't connect to the database.

I am away from my machine at present but a howto step-by-step would be appricated.

How I did it might not be right but it works:

ssh or whatever to console
mysql
create database netjuke;
use netjuke;
grant all on * to www@localhost identified by 'password';
flush privileges;
exit;


cp netjuke-1.0b14-php4.0.6.tar.gz /home/e-smith/files/primary/html
tar zxvf netjuke-1.0b14-php4.0.6.tar.gz
chown -R www:www netjuke
go to http://yourserver/netjuke/installer/installer.php
use "www" as database user
use "password" as database password ( or whatever you used)
use "netjuke" as database
save file as inc-prefs.php
cp inc-prefs.php /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/netjuke/etc/
now go to http://yourserver/netjuke/
log in and you are done
make sure you delete the installer directory after testing your installation.

I gave netjuke its own ibay ... sorry, no howto yet ... gotta set up the test box & run through all the steps.
