Hi,
Are there any Gentoo MythWeb users out there who could help a bit?
I'm trying to set up MythWeb on our Gentoo backend. I'm following two Wiki's:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythWeb_readme
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythWeb
Unfortunately I've never run Apache and know nothing about setting
it up. As a result MythWeb is not working so far.
Some questions:
1) In the mythtv.org wiki it says I need to ensure that mod_env and
mod_rewrite modules are enabled. How do I do this?
2) If I try to access the backend at http://192.168.1.55/mythweb/ from
my Linux desktop or a Windows machine I only get a directory listing:
Parent Directory -
[DIR] data/ 27-Jun-2007 09:19 -
[DIR] includes/ 27-Jun-2007 09:19 -
[DIR] js/ 27-Jun-2007 09:19 -
[DIR] modules/ 27-Jun-2007 09:19 -
[ ] mythweb.php 27-Jun-2007 09:19 939
[TXT] mythweb.pl 27-Jun-2007 09:19 2.5K
[DIR] skins/ 27-Jun-2007 09:19
3) If I go a bit further and try to access mythweb.php I get the
following error messages:
Database Setup Error
The database environment variables are not correctly set in the
included .htaccess file. Please read through the comments included
in the file and set up the db_* environment variables correctly.
Some possible solutions are to make sure that mod_env is enabled
in httpd.conf, as well as having followed the instructions in the
README about the AllowOverride settings.
There aren't any db_* variables in .htaccess so I don't know what to configure.
Sorry that this is so general. I think it's a big hard job for
which I am unprepared to do but I would really like to get it working.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
