Ampache
Amarok is able to play music from an Ampache media server. Ampache needs an Apache server to work.
Ampache Client
Activate the Ampache service using .
Configure the service with the data entered on the server:
Now the Ampache service should appear in the left pane.
Ampache Server
On Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu you can install Ampache using
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:
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
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
so you can access Ampache's web interface using http://localhost/music/. You get the following page:
Choose your language and click to configure Ampache. Enter the configuration of your MySQL database:
Click 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 and you will get a configuration file as download.
Save this file to /usr/share/ampache/www/config/ampache.cfg.php and overwrite the existing (empty) configuration. After you clicked you can create the initial account to manage Ampache.
Log into your newly created account:
And you will get the web interface:
Click on in the on the left to create a new catalog of music.
Create a new guest account using :
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.
