GNUMP3D in Zenwalk

| April 7th, 2009

Hello Internet.

It has been an long time i had written anything for GET-IT-DONE-FAST. but its time to cut the glass , from past few days i was working on Ubuntu 8.04 /8.10
And i have came across GNUMP3D  an live music  streaming interface for your music directory,
Which can be eventually shared on Internet and you will be able to listen to your music wherever your if you have an Internet connection.

Now i will stop bugging and explaining what GNUMP3D  can do because  you will know that for your self  soon.
Here we begin the process of
GNUMP3D  installation

1.   Creating a directory inside your usr/src location with the name gnump3d “mkdir /usr/srcgnump3d” Note:don’t forget to become root before doing this
2.   Then move to the created directory “cd /usr/src/gnump3
3.    Downloading the
GNUMP3D from “wget http://savannah.gnu.org/download/gnump3d/gnump3d-3.0.tar.gz” This commend will get a file for you with the extension ‘tar.gz’
4.   Now extracting it “tzr xvzf gnump3d-3.0.tar.gz” once you run this commend you will get a directory by name ‘gnump3d-3.0/’
5.   Now go to the directory which has been created while you extracted your ‘
gnump3d-3.0.tar.gz’ file via “cd gnump3d-3.0
6.   Once your are in the directory then just execute “make install“  and poof you are done installing the
GNUMP3D
7.   Now we need to edit an file “nano /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf“  once you are inside this file there are two values you must change and the rest depends on your requirement.
a.    Search for   the line ‘port = 8888′ and you can change the port here if you wish
b.   Search for the line ‘user = gnump3d’ and make it as “user = root
c.   Search for the line ‘root = /var/music/’ or similar to this and change it and point it to your music directory like i did “root = /home/khairulla/windows2/KHAIRULLA-DATA/EXTRA/MUSIC/”
8.   You are done configuring the file now you can save and exit the file by “Ctrl+O” to save and “Ctrl+X” to exit
9.   Once you exit from the file
“nano /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.confnow its time to start your GNUMP3D server by “/usr/bin/gnump3d start &” and your will get some log and finally the log will say that the server is running on http://localhost:8888

You know this is the end now just open your browser and enjoy the music from your browser only moreover if you are listening music in Zenwalk itself then you can even use Mplayer or Mplayer plugin for your ‘Iceweasel’
and enjoy the music.

Hi folks.

So we begin first go to your terminal and become root, you can do this by typing “su” in your terminal and then you will be asked for the root password.
Enter the root password, oh god now you are the “root” kidding.
Now just copy below line in to your terminal, if you like you can type it too.
wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
The above line will grab the rpm for you then type “rpm –import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt” this will get “GPG” key for you

Hi i find this is the easy and best  way to set up an ftp server in minutes  in your  Ubuntu or Debian distribution
Try this

From Terminal
sudo apt-get install vsftpd  — You may be asked to supply “sudo” password here
Don’t forget to backup before you use this configuration.
sudo cp /etc/vsftpd.conf /root/
# Put in /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Don’t forget to change khairulla into your local username
listen=YES                                                            ;You are Telling your system that it can listen to FTP Request
anonymous_enable=YES                                     ; You told your system that any one can login to your FTP  if you choose “NO” here then your FTP will ask for username and password before giving access to FTP
local_enable=YES                                                ; Local System Access
write_enable=YES                                                ; User can read write and delete files from FTP
anon_upload_enable=YES                                   ;
anonymous users can upload files
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES                          ; anonymous users can create directory’s
dirmessage_enable=YES                                     ;
xferlog_enable=YES                                            ;
connect_from_port_20=YES                               ;
chown_uploads=YES                                           ;
chown_username=khairulla                                 ; My local system username
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Khair  FTP service     ; My FTP Server Name
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd                     ; FTP root
directory
pam_service_name=vsftpd                                  ; Services name
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem               ; Certification file
anon_root=/home/ftp                                            ;
anonymous users directory

Now you must make writable directory for anonymous user.
cd /home/ftp                                                         ; Went to
directory ftp
sudo mkdir opendir                                              ; Created a directory named opendir
sudo chmod 777 opendir/                                    ; Changed the directory privileges  to read & write
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start                                 ; Now its time to start your FTP server
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
