It's unfortunately not a list, whcih I find intuitive, and useful, but one
of those web base wiki sort of things. As you can see from another messahe,
I posted teh problem there this mornimg. Zero replies since then.

I am confused by this. Is this a request to be able to reproduce the
probkem? If so, absolutely.

OK, here goes:
black# uname -a
FreeBSD black.fas.com 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Sat Dec 27
19:11:47 EST 2008 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
ports of interest:
ampache-3.4.3
mysql-client-5.0.75
mysql-server-5.0.75
apache-2.2.11
Once you have these installed add the folloowing lines to
/usr/local/etc/apache22httpd.conf
<Directory "/usr/local/www/ampache/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /ampache "/usr/local/www/ampache"
Edit /usr/local/www/ampache/config/ampache.cfg.php.dist and put doubel
quotes around the names of the rss* bairables (to work around a known bug"
Point your browser to the ampacge/install.php file the webserver for this
machine.
Complete step 1 of the install process
Go to step 2, when you press "write config file" you will be prompted to
download this fle instead (not cerrtain wh the directory it goes in is
writbale by the www user). Donwload this file and install it as:
/usr/local/www/ampache/config/ampache.cfg
Try to proced to step 3. You should get an error message saying that
Ampache is already configured (but it's not0.
I beleive this is a repeatvle bug.
Thanks for the help here.
