Hi there,
Two parts here :)
UPGRADE HELP:
I wrote the questions below about aliasing to alternate drives and networked pcs then realized I am running version 1.1.4. So I've now downloaded version 1.1.6 but I have been unable to install the upgrade. I have a tgz package with "abyssws" in the abyssws folder, whereas for 1.1.4 I have an exe. Is there an exe for this upgrade?
ALIAS/NETWORK/ALT DRIVES
I'd like to do two things similar to what "Rangdo" wanted in post http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=956.
I have four pc's networked. On the primary pc I have an additional drive with files I would like to access. They are mp3's and I am using andromeda and other jukebox type scripts which, of course, require the path to the files and folders. Normally this would be "." but I want the scripts to read files in "X:\folder1\folder2\mp3". I've created a folder in the root called "/mp3" and set an alias to "X:\folder1\folder2\mp3". But when pointing the script to "/mp3" it continues to look for files within that folder. Pointing directly to "http://localhost/mp3" in the browser works fine so I can see the alias works as it should. So how do I fool the script into doing the same? Or does this go deeper into aliases in my httpd.conf file? *hope not*
Secondly, I have additional files on one of the networked pcs. So I will map that pc and containing folder to something, say "Z", and create an alias to "Z\folderwithmp3s". My question would be the same as above - how to get the script to recognize this alias.
Thank you in advance for any help! (please respond with complete wording as opposed to "just run it - end". it helps alot!) |

divaone,
It seems that you downloaded the Linux package of Abyss Web Server. Please go to http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws and download the Windows version.

Scripts do not use the web server aliases and they do not regognize them. Scripts operate at the Operating system level and recognize only the paths in your hard disk. So you should configure the script to look in the right directory (instead of giving it . as directory).
For example, if you take the case of andromeda, open the andromedaPrefs.php file and change the line starting by #mediaPhysicalPath to
| Code: | | #mediaPhysicalPath X:\folder1\folder2\mp3 |

DOWNLOAD:
Thanks. The download link lines looked similar and I thought there were two locations for the same download on download.php :)

Thanks, that answers alot. If it can't be done it can't be done. :D

Yes I tried to point to the direct and full path. The scripts, both andromeda and others, recognize and list the files but I get the following output:
http://localhost/andromedafolder/X:/folder1/folder2/mp3/mp3file.mp3
I will assume I will need to adjust a couple of lines within the script itself to get rid of the leading parent folder in the links :( (thinking of the long and detailed andromeda script and clones...).
Thank you for your help!!! |
