I store all my music on a remote network share using samba.

Is there anyway to tell ampache to have a catalog of this share eg //server/mp3 instead of using a local path?

Thanks

If I understand what you are asking, check out this link (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/urlmapping.html).

exactly

another fix for the problem is to mount your music to a certain location on your filesystem using smbfs I used todo this and it worked well

apt-get install smbfs

mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassw ord

check http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html for info on mounting on boot and stuff ;)
