Updating the Media Center Part 3 (Jinzora and Mediatomb)

Jinzora is a web bases media streaming and management system which I have heard good things about so I thought I would give it a go. This service runs on PHP and this in turn needs a web server. Seems like a job for apache.

sudo apt-get install apache2


sudo apt-get install php5


sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql (Note include mysql-server if you didn't install squeeze center)


sudo apt-get install php5-gd

PHP 5 gets installed with some wimpy settings, too wimpy for most real apps so needed to edit some settings.

sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Set the following

"max_execution_time" to 300

"memory_limit" to 128M

"post_max_size" to 32M

"file_uploads" to On

"upload_max_filesize" to 32M


Install Jinzora
