    HOWTO: latest mod_musicindex and apache2

    This applies to most versions of ubuntu. If there are issues with older versions, let me know.
    (This is from scratch)

    First off, install apache2 and its headers
    sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-threaded-dev

    install needed headers for audio support
    sudo apt-get install libmad0-dev libid3tag0-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libflac-dev libarchive-dev

    get latest mod_musicindex source (as of this howto it is 1.2.5)
    wget http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet...x-1.2.5.tar.gz

    tar xvf mod_musicindex-1.2.5.tar.gz
    cd mod_musicindex-1.2.5
    sudo ./configure
    sudo make install

    sudo pico /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    and add the following line then close/save
    LoadModule musicindex_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_musicindex.so

    some files need to be accessible under "/musicindex" on the webserver and the README says you can add an alias in apache to do this, but its never worked for me so i do this method instead. Just remember you need to do this whenever you upgrade the module in case somethings changed

    #remove older version if you have one, first.
    sudo rm -rf /var/www/musicindex

    sudo cp -R /usr/local/share/mod_musicindex /var/www/musicindex

    sudo pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
    scroll to the bottom and find </VirtualHost> and copy and paste these lines starting directly above it, save and close

    Alias /music "/home/duffydack/music"
    <Directory "/home/duffydack/music">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride Indexes
    # Can be overriden in .htaccess
    MusicIndex On +Stream +Download +Search -Rss -Tarball
    MusicSortOrder album disc track artist title length bitrate freq filetype filename uri
    MusicFields title artist album length bitrate
    MusicPageTitle MusicPage
    MusicDefaultCss musicindex.css
    # Can only be set in apache configuration
    MusicDefaultDisplay HTML
    MusicIndexCache file://tmp/musicindex
    MusicIceServer [ice.domain.my]:8000
    MusicCookieLife 300
    MusicDirPerLine 3
    </Directory>


    Obviously replace /home/duffydack/music to where-ever your music is.

    Next, its advisable to change the port apache2 is using.
    sudo pico /etc/apache2/ports.conf
    change 80 to something else, 77 for example. Save and close

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    now try it out. http://localhost/music/
    or if you changed the port ie: http://localhost:77/music/

    Password protecting your site
    ------------------------------

    sudo htpasswd2 -c /etc/apache2/passwords duffydack
    of course change "duffydack" to something you want.
    enter a password when prompted

    sudo pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
    at the top with the /var/www directives, you want it to look like this

    DocumentRoot /var/www
    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Access"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwords
    Require user duffydack
    </Directory>


    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    and test it.

    Re: HOWTO: latest mod_musicindex and apache2

    Installing ICECAST to handle streaming. Good for setting limits on listeners if you have low upstream, and using with HTTPS

    sudo apt-get install icecast2

    now edit the icecast.xml file
    sudo pico /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

    at the top you`ll see
    <clients>100</clients>
    set it to 1 or 2 or however many listeners you`d like.

    scroll down a bit and find <authentication>

    now set better passwords than whats there. "hackme" isnt the best to have!

    <authentication>
    <source-password>hackme</source-password>
    <relay-password>hackme</relay-password>
    <admin-user>admin</admin-user>
    <admin-password>hackme</admin-password>
    </authentication>

    now find <hostname>localhost</hostname> and change localhost to the hostname of your computer.

    directly underneath <hostname> you`ll see where to set the port to use, looks like this.
    I personally use 8001 rather than the default 8000. Set it as the first port like so. Leave this part totally if you want to use 8000.

    <!-- You may have multiple <listener> elements -->
    <listen-socket>
    <port>8001</port>
    <!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> -->
    <!-- <shoutcast-mount>/stream</shoutcast-mount> -->
    </listen-socket>
    <!--
    # <listen-socket>
    # <port>8001</port>
    # </listen-socket>
    # -->


    now save/exit

    make a link to your mp3`s for icecast to use like this
    cd /usr/share/icecast2/web
    sudo ln -s /home/duffydack/music/ music

    now edit apache site config and add your icecast server details like this
    sudo pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

    scroll to bottom where you have (similar to) this, and set MusicIceServer option.

    Alias /music "/home/duffydack/music"
    <Directory "/home/duffydack/music">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride Indexes
    # Can be overriden in .htaccess
    MusicIndex On +Stream +Download +Search -Rss -Tarball
    MusicSortOrder album disc track artist title length bitrate freq filetype filename uri
    MusicFields title artist album length bitrate
    MusicPageTitle MusicPage
    MusicDefaultCss musicindex.css
    # Can only be set in apache configuration
    MusicDefaultDisplay HTML
    MusicIndexCache file://tmp/musicindex
    MusicIceServer :8000
    MusicCookieLife 300
    MusicDirPerLine 3
    </Directory>

    :8000 means the icecast server is on the same computer as the webserver, using port 8000. If its not, then change it to the hostname:port of your icecast2 server. eg: server:8000 or server:8001

    To allow icecast to be started you need to enable the service like so.
    sudo pico /etc/default/icecast2
    At the bottom, change Enabled=false to Enabled=true
    save/exit

    restart your apache and icecast to let the changes take effect
    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 restart

    Re: HOWTO: latest mod_musicindex and apache2

    sudo cp –R /usr/local/share/mod_musicindex /var/www/musicindex
    This command doesn't work for me as I do not have a folder called mod_musicindex in /usr/local/share. Also, I don't have a folder named musicindex in /var/www.

    I think this is the only thing holding me back from getting it to work. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Edit: Figured it out...the dash on the -R was wrong...something screwed up when copying & pasting.

    Re: HOWTO: latest mod_musicindex and apache2

    New Problem.

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /music/ on this server.
    Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) mod_musicindex/1.0.2 Server at localhost Port 80
    I now get this error message when I open up firefox and go to localhost/music (I am on localhost right now).

    obvious question, do you have permissions to the music folder in general? have to ask!
    Are you setting this up with or without user/pass protection? Icecast or not.. attach your apache site config if you like
