SwissCenter - server for the ShowCenter, LinkPlayer and LinkTheatre
Requirements
You will need to install:
apt-get install php4-gd
Installation
Create a swisscenter directory in apache's DocumentRoot (/var/www)
mkdir /var/www/swisscenter
Download Swisscenter into previously created directory
cd /var/www/swisscenter wget http://www.swisscenter.co.uk/downloads/swisscenter.zip
Unzip the downloaded file
unzip swisscenter.zip
Change user:group
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/swisscenter
Apache
Now you will need to create a file in apache to see swisscenter
pico /etc/apache/conf.d/swisscenter.conf
and add this to that file
# SwissCenter Apache Virtual Host Configuration file Listen 8080 <VirtualHost _default_:8080> DocumentRoot "/var/www/swisscenter" <Directory "/var/www/swisscenter"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule> </VirtualHost>
Restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache restart
Run it
Go to your Swisscenter on your Linkstation
http://<IPAdddress>:8080
and if you get MySQL errors
pico /etc/apache/httpd.conf
comment out port 80 and add Listen 80 underneath
#Port80 Listen80
Now goto Swisscenter config on your Linkstation
http://<IPAdddress>:8080/config
and hopefully you'll see this:
Set up the databases and point it to your media and you should be away! In order to be able to get weather forecasts, internet radio and updates you will need to
pico /var/www/swisscenter/base/server.php
and add change
if ( $sock = @fsockopen('66.249.87.99', 80, $temp, $temp, 0.5)) // www.google.com
to
if ( $sock = @fsockopen('google.com', 80, $temp, $temp, 0.5)) // www.google.com
Once it's configured
http://<IPAdddress>:8080
and you should see this:
Troubleshooting
In the event of something not working as it should, do this and ask for help
Create a file to see your php settings
pico /var/www/swisscenter/config/test_php.php
and put this in it
<? phpinfo(); ?>
It should output your PHP settings when you try to reach it, check for MySQL support
http://<LinkstationIP>:8080/swisscenter/config/test_php.php
Create a file to check you MySQL settings
pico /var/www/swisscenter/config/test_mysql.php
and put this in it
<? echo mysql_pconnect('swiss','swisscenter','swisscenter'); ?>
Try and access it and see what it gives you
http://<LinkstationIP>:8080/swisscenter/config/test_mysql.php
