Description
General Overview and Installation
This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.
The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.
The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".
The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.
After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.
Module version 2.00.00
The Jinzora Media Jukebox is a freely available media jukebox. Foe further information please visit the project homepage.
After installation, you need to configure at least one directory where all of your media is located. In Jinzora, login as user "admin" (password is "ADMIN") and click on the admin tool icon (just above the "User: admin" string at the upperleft corner). The open the dialogbox "System Tool"->"Media Manager"->"Add Media Directory" to add a new media directory.
Though it is not mandatory, it would be wise to set a new password for the admin user.
There are still two small issues:
- The installation process suggests to raise the memory_limit parameter in php.ini from 8M to 32M. This is the max. amount of memory a script may consume.
- The installation process suggests to set upload_max_filesize parameter in php.ini to 64M. This is the max. for uploaded files.
I've decided not to modify php.ini in order to keep it simple for the moment. For streamlining this module, it might be worth to set these parameters to the intended values.
