HOWTO: ubuntucenter/ Hive / ICenterX

[Nier1690]

For all those that still would like to use ubuntucenter/ Hive / ICenterX here it is:
I have it running under Fiesty Fawn 7.04

First I download files from:
https://files.bountysource.com/file/download/137/ubuntucenter-alpha-01.deb
to my home folder.

Then I installed
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql php5-gd php5-mysql id3v2 imagemagick libgd2-xpm php-auth

Once I was finished I opened firefox and went to localhost/phpmyadmin, user name root and no password.
From there I created privileges a new user for UbuntuCenter.

Then

sudo dpkg --install --force-all ubuntucenter-alpha-01.deb
You might receive an error but it will continue.
One important step


sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status


Edit out the dependecies libgd2 and libgd2-dev or you will not be able to log back in.

After all that I reopened Firefox and localhost/center and everything worked.

This is with thanks to an old post I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289620&highlight=center+hive

Here is a link to the hive website for some more info currently the project is on hold but it's said to start up again this summer.

It's basically a central location that you can access all your music from online.

Hmm - not a bad start, just not, quite, getting, support methinks :)

I might be able to help out some with this project if anyone is still actively pursuing it. I can see this being developed and integrating things like mythtv, etc in it :)

Has potential...
