Referring to google, there might be a problem with the GD library. Has anyone observed the same or a similar problem?

I have the 439 with x86 CPU

I also managed to install oxylbox and it works (even with thumbnail generation via nconvert). So in principle, the GD library should work.

Hey mr_hyde,

It would be nice, when everything is solved, you could write a "how to" for the installation of swisscenter and oxylbox. I had oxylbox running a while ago on a 109Pro (and on my desktop) and I loved the interface but it doesn't support srt so I would prefer using swisscenter. Which one do you prefer in combination with your Popcornhour?

Best Regards,
KL643

Hey KL643,

when i have time, i will summarize the installation of oxylbox. The generation of the thumbnails works on my 439 with the already implemented nconvert. Nevertheless, i also would preferr swisscenter, since it is database driven and from my point of view more professional

Actually it is possible to hear music and ** with swisscenter. but i still have problems to view images or thumbnails or albumart. It seems to be that the thumbs are generated, but they are not displayed. Also the background images are not displayed. I have to dig into this in more datail and i guess i have to post the problems in the swisscenter forum. As soon as i've got news, i will update you in this thread.

Regarding the oxylbox, i just copied the content of the zip from the PCH forum into /share/Qweb/oxylbox. I had to modify one file, which i could upload to the forum and i changed the apache.conf. I could also post this here, if this would be enough for you.

Thanks for the reply, well take your time...no rush

Hi KL643,

regarding the swisscenter, i guess, that it might be a problem with php, since other users report similar problems on different applications.

Hello,

i have installed apache,php,php-gd,php-mysql,... via ipkg

Swisscenter displays the background of the skin,... and Albumart (Music and Movies) is also displayed.

I will also test the digital image directory (this will take some time)

Hopefully Qnap will fix the problem in the current FW soon. Then swisscenter will probably work perfectly on the x86 QNAP's

[KL643]

I hope Qnap can make a QPKG for Swisscenter.

Hi,

to install swisscenter by itself is not complicated. Just copy the package to /share/Qweb and add some lines to the apache.conf

Actually the main problem is, that you need to patch the php-gd bug of the FW. It is still in the new stable (2.1.4 0317)

If you are interested, i could post a howto. But i hope, that they will eleminate the bug very soon. Then the php workaround will be obsolete

Pleazzzze do I'm trying the whole day to get it up and running (and I'm really not into this stuff...specially the add some lines to the apache.conf and the php stuff)

BR,

[mr_hyde]

ok,

1. install ipkg via qpkg
2. connect via ssh to a console
3. type:
> ipkg install php
> ipkg install php-apache (this will also install an apache, but no problem)
> ipkg install php-gd (will also intall some libraries)
> ipkg install php-mbstring
> ipkg install php-mysql (this will install mysql which is needed)

-> should be everything with respect to php,...

goto /etc/config/apache and open apache.conf

comment:
#LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
and add:
LoadModule php5_module /opt/libexec/libphp5.so

-> this will force the implemented apache to use the php of ipkg

go back to /etc/config
substitute the php.ini

> mv php.ini php.original
> ln -sf /opt/etc/php.ini php.ini

which links the php.ini to the ipkg version

-> The webserver of the FW has to be enabled, mysql has to be disabled, since you have to use the ipkg mysql (probably there is also a way to use the built in one, but as long as it works, i don't want to add more time)

If so, just go to /etc/init.d and

>./Qthttpd.sh restart

Now the php-gd should work

you can test it with a simple script (the extension has to be .php)

Code: Select all

<?php
header('Content-type: image/jpg');
$im = @ImageCreateFromjpeg ('background.jpg'); /* Versuch, Datei zu öffnen */   
imagejpeg($im)
?>


Place this script in /share/Qweb and add also an image 'background.jpg' to the same place (owner should be guest)

If this works (an image is displayed), the main problems are solved.

Now you have to start mysql manually:
>/opt/etc/init.d/S70mysqld start

and mysql should be up and running

then go back again to /etc/config/apache

and add the following lines to the end:

Code: Select all

# SwissCenter Apache Virtual Host Configuration file
Listen 9060
<VirtualHost  192.168.163.105:9060>
ServerName 192.168.163.105
DocumentRoot /share/Qweb/swisscenter/
<Directory "/share/Qweb/swisscenter">

AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Alias /root/ "/"

</VirtualHost>


Servername, IP Adress and Port have to be adapted to your preffered settings.

extract swisscenter and copy it to /share/Qweb/swisscenter

restart the webserver and you should find swisscenter at the corresponding port. If swisscenter shows up a background image, everything should work fine (also in the setup page only one problem should be shown up -> php module zip is not installed, but that is not a problem)

The only thing is that you have to restart mysql manually after a reboot, since it can't be started through autorun.s. At this stage of the boot sequence i think, the ipgk stuff is not linked.

Do you mean replace LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so or just ad the extra line LoadModule php5_module /opt/libexec/libphp5.so?

[mr_hyde]

> ipkg install mbstring

sorry, it should be php-mbstring

the apache message was not important to me

comment:

LoadModule php5_module /opt/libexec/libphp5.so

Do you mean replace LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so or just ad the extra line LoadModule php5_module /opt/libexec/libphp5.so?

-> extra line and just add the '#' to the existing line

[KL643]

Almost there....but..i added the following lines at the bottom of the apache.conf


[code]# SwissCenter Apache Virtual Host Configuration file
Listen 9060
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.39:9060>
ServerName 192.168.1.39

</Directory>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Alias /root/ "/"

</VirtualHost>
/code]

restarted the webserver and if I go to http://192.168.1.39:9060/swisscenter/config/index I get a page error. Also I'm getting warnings now : Re-launch process [apache].

[mr_hyde]

pls. look again in the apache.conf

i got the problem, that the system changed the line 'listen 9060' to 'listen 80'

and apache was stopped.

Are there any error messages if you type /etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh restart?

the following lines are ok

Code: Select all

Shutting down Qthttpd services: Qthttpd.
apache: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.163.105 for ServerName
Apache httpd is stopped.
Starting Qthttpd services:Apache logs have been cleaned.
apache: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.163.105 for ServerName


What is the error? Did you start the ipkg mysql and is it running?

BTW,
the php-gd test was ok?

[KL643]

The problem starts when I ad the

Code: Select all


# SwissCenter Apache Virtual Host Configuration file

</Directory>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Alias /root/ "/"

</VirtualHost>



At the bottom of the apache.conf...I get relaunch process Apache warnings and can not open http://192.168.1.39/9060/swisscenter/config/index
When I don't ad the lines to the Apache.conf I can open http://192.168.1.39/9060/swisscenter/config/index but with some errors


EDIT:
Also, I changed 1 thing..
go back to /etc >>I changed this to /etc/config because my original php.ini was here but this should be no problem...
substitute the php.ini

> mv php.ini php.original
> ln -sf /opt/etc/php.ini php.ini

which links the php.ini to the ipkg version
