Hi Ross–

Thank you so much for your careful instructions. I never would’ve got this app working without your help. Many thanks to Connor, too, for the additional tips.

I have one basic question: what’s the reason for using the Linux version of Jinzora rather than the Mac version? Are there any drawbacks to doing it this way as opposed to using the proper Mac version? Any information on the differences would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jeremy

[...] sudo rm -R /var/www/jinzora2/install Once done, refresh your browser. You should be logged in to the Jinzora home page. On the left pane lies all the configuration options. You can change the look and style of Jinzora via the Interface and Style setting located at the bottom of the left pane. Access your Jinzora Web Media server from other computer If you want to access Jinzora from an external terminal, either in a cybercafe or with your mobile PDA, you can reach it by pointing the URL to http://your-ip-address:8888/jinzora2.

installation failed at the “backend setup” stage for the “Cannot have signed integers larger than 32-bits in getid3_lib::BigEndian2Int()” error message. and got completely stuck.

while reinstalling i found it to be completely useless

Note my previous comment:

change
chmod 777 -R temp
chmod 777 -R data

to
chmod -R 777 temp
chmod -R 777 data

(switch positions of -R and 777)

This should fix it.

Skip the command on Settings.php

hope this helps

There is no settings.php file in the jinzora2 directory.

chmod 777 settings.php
chmod 777 jukebox/settings.php
chmod 777 -R temp
chmod 777 -R data

The 3rd and 4th command didn’t work either, any ideas?
Thanks

I’ve finally gotten to the point where it’s importing my library when I get the following error: “Cannot have signed integers larger than 32-bits in getid3_lib::BigEndian2Int()”

What is THAT supposed to mean? I’ve got a lot of Japanese music, tagged in Japanese…is that the problem?

Also, until I set the MySQL root password to blank in phpMyAdmin it refused to create the database. Now, however, I cannot access phpMyAdmin. How can I re-authenticate?

Also, Gwain, Jinzora IS for Linux. Did you not see where it says to download the Linux version?

Dear Ross,

First of all, I’d like to thank you for the excellent explanation on how to set Jinzora for the mac (I’ve been struggling with Linux codes and mpd like a madman before this!!!)
I have two questions for you.
the first is: I’ve been trying to access my mac from outside my network using its external IP (I’ve already forwarded port 8888 on my router), but it doesn’t seem to work…
The second is… Have you heard of MPoD for the iphone? Do you have any idea on how to configure it to use Jinzora?

Thanks a lot!!

Drausio

if settings.php did exist, then it wasn’t in the main folder of jinzora2. I just skipped that command and it installed fine!

And I left install.zip right where it was and it worked fine.

Also, In step 3: the last two commands didn’t work as written. However when I reversed the positions of the flag (-R) and the permission #’s (777) it worked fine!!

Thanks

I have jinzora st up on my server with 300 plus gigs of music.One of my biggest problems that I have had is with streaming m4a files from the server with itunes as the default music player. I can not get the m4as to stream at all. As a fix I converted all of my files to mp3s.That only took two days of work. Any ideas? I have Asked this question on the jinzora site but still have not gotten a good fix.

This reminds me of GNUMP3d for Linux. It’s basically the same idea just not as polished…and well for Linux.

How well does Jinzora work with streaming to iTunes? iTunes “works” with GNUMP3d but does not auto resolve the addresses.

Connor -

Thanks for pointing out the mistake re: step 21. I’ve edited the tutorial to include the ‘htdocs’ part

settings.php is one of the most important files for jinzora2, it does exist You wouldn’t be able to install without it.

The default user/pass for MySQL in MAMP are root/root, but most people would have changed those.

Zipping the install folder is a great idea. But it does need to be moved/removed even if you zip it.

Dyndns.org is a good call. The earlier part of your comment was covered by step #23 (?).
