=== Ampache Server ===


On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install '''Ampache''' using
{{Input|1=sudo apt-get install ampache}}
You need to tell the '''Apache''' server where it can find the '''Ampache''' files. Create the file ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/ampache'' with the following content:<br />
{{Input|1=
Alias /music "/usr/share/ampache/www/"
<directory />
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</directory>
}}
Restart '''Apache''' with the command
{{Input|1=/etc/init.d/apache2 restart}} so you can access '''Ampache'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> web interface using http://localhost/music/. You get the following page:<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation.png]]<br />
<br />
Choose your language and click <menuchoice>Start configuration</menuchoice> to configure '''Ampache'''. Enter the configuration of your '''MySQL''' database:<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation1.png]]<br />
<br />
Click <menuchoice>Insert Database</menuchoice> to create the user and database. You will get an error message because there is already a configuration file which is empty. Just enter your '''MySQL''' configuration again and click <menuchoice>Write Config</menuchoice> and you will get a configuration file as download.<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation2.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
Save this file to ''/usr/share/ampache/www/config/ampache.cfg.php'' and overwrite the existing (empty) configuration. After you clicked <menuchoice>Continue to Step 3</menuchoice> you can create the initial account to manage '''Ampache'''.<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation3.png]]<br />
<br />
Log into your newly created account:<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_login.png]]<br />
<br />
And you will get the web interface:<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_webinterface.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
Click on <menuchoice>Add a Catalog</menuchoice> in the <menuchoice>Admin</menuchoice> on the left to create a new catalog of music.<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_catalog.png|600px]]
<br />
Create a new guest account using <menuchoice>Admin -> Add User</menuchoice>:<br />
<br />
[[File:remotecollections_ampache_createuser.png]]<br />
<br />
Now you need to allow guest access on your server. Open the configuration in ''/usr/share/ampache/www/config/ampache.cfg.php'' and remove the ';' character before ''auto_user = "guest"''. Restart '''Apache''' and the server configuration is finished.
