Build dependencies:
Name Tested Notes
- libdb 4.3.29 4.2 and earlier won't work
+ libdb 4.3.29 not 4.2.x; 4.4+ might work.
libgc 6.8
libvorbisfile 1.1.2
libpcre 6.7 need UTF-8 support
If adding new 'player' commands, see README.raw for details on setting up
"raw format" players. Non-raw players are still supported but not in all
- configurations and they cannot support pausing and gapless play.

5. Make sure the server is started at boot time.
"Thought I was a gonner baby, but I'm bullet proof"
-These instructions assumes you are using Apache 1.3.x.
+As above, if you install from a .deb, much of the work will be done
+automatically.
You need to configure a number of things to make this work:
-1. If you want to have a 'jukebox' virtual host, modify the DNS accordingly and
- use a fragment such as this one:
+1. If you want online registration to work then set mail_sender in
+ /etc/disorder/config to the email address that communications from the web
+ interface will appear to be sent. If this is not a valid, deliverable email
+ address then the results are not likely to be reliable.
- <VirtualHost HOSTNAME>
- DocumentRoot /home/jukebox/public_html
- ServerName jukebox.DOMAIN
- ServerAlias jukebox
- ServerAdmin webmaster@DOMAIN
- ErrorLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/error.log
- TransferLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/access.log
- Alias /static/ /usr/local/share/disorder/static/
- </VirtualHost>
+ mail_sender webmaster@example.com
- /static/ should point to the 'static' directory installed by DisOrder. If
- you don't want to use the name 'static' then you can change the url.static
- label in the web interface configuration to your preferred URL; see
- disorder_config(5) for details.
+ By default the web interface sends mail by connecting to the SMTP port of
+ 127.0.0.1. You can override this with the smtp_server directive, for
+ exampler:
- Don't forget to reload Apache after modifying its configuration.
-
- Separate logging is not required but I find it convenient. Up to you.
+ smtp_server mail.example.com
2. The web interface depends on a 'guest' user existing. You can create this
with the following command:
If you don't want to allow online registration instead use:
- disorder -- setup-guest --no-online-registration
+ disorder setup-guest --no-online-registration
+
+3. Make sure that DisOrder can find its icons and stylesheet. For example in
+ your web server configuration:
+
+ Alias /disorder/ /usr/local/share/disorder/static/
-3. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it
- executable. For example:
+ Alternatively you could use a symlink from the right location in your
+ document root, provided your web server is configured to follow them.
- install -m 755 clients/disorder.cgi ~jukebox/public_html/index.cgi
+ cd /var/www
+ ln -s /usr/local/share/disorder/static disorder
-4. The config file must list the URL of the web interface explicitly:
+4. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it
+ executable. Example:
- url http://jukebox.DOMAIN/
+ install -m 755 clients/disorder.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/disorder
5. Try it out. You should be able to perform read-only operations straight
away, and after visiting the 'Login' page to authenticate, perform other
operations like adding a track to the queue.
6. If you run into problems, always look at the appropriate error log; the
- message you see in your web browser will usually not be sufficient to
- diagnose the problem all by itself.

7. If you have a huge number of top level directories, then you might find
- that the 'Choose' page is unreasonably large. If so add the following line
- to /etc/disorder/options.user:
- label sidebar.choosewhich choosealpha
+ that the 'Choose' page is unreasonably large. If so add the following line
+ to /etc/disorder/options.user:
+ label sidebar.choosewhich choosealpha
- This will make 'Choose' be a link for each letter of the 26-letter Roman
- alphabet; follow the link and you just get the directories which start with
- that letter. The "*" link at the end gives you directories which don't
- start with a letter.

- You can copy choosealpha.html to /etc/disorder and edit it to change the
- set of initial choices to anything that can be expressed with regexps. The
- regexps must be URL-encoded UTF-8 PCRE regexps.
