help installing

[dba61]

I'm a newbie to Linux and Subsonic. Could any one please give a step by step instruction on installing the software. I am using Fedora 11 and have both Apache and jetty installed. I thought I followed the instructions correctly, but since nothing works I made a mistake(s) somewhere.

Another question is once it is up and running how would I go about creating a password file for multiple users and expirations times and setting it up to be accessed through DynDNS?

Thank you,
Danny

Did you follow the tutorial at the Subsonic Homepage? (http://subsonic.sourceforge.net/install ... standalone) - assuming you are using the standalone installation as you are talking about Jetty.

What seems to be the issue? I am running the standalone version on F11 without any problems. It's running through a proxy on Apache and mounted all my media from a windows host over samba
For some info on how to set it up to run as a service, that way you do not need to manually run the subsonic.sh every time you reboot the server, you can read this: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1634

Subsonic has all it's users in the local database and there's no expiration feature ( a cool idea though, maybe you should post it as a feature request ).

Regarding DynDNS I am not using that myself ( I'm using no-ip.org ), but I searched in the forum and found this thread that should cover the most of it: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... ght=dyndns

It normally doesn't work too well on Linux...
