There are probably a million tutorials out there to do this, but as I’m doing it for the second time, I figure that I should probably write it down.
First thing’s first, make sure you’re all updated:
sudo apt-get update
Then install lamp
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
and run through the install process. Make sure you write all of that info down.
Then download wordpress. Assuming they still have their download architecture the same as the time I’m writing this, you can just use this command.
wget http://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
And unzip this file.
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
You should see a LOT of stuff unzipping.
Then remove the tarball
rm latest.tar.gz
Now you need to create a database.
mysql -u WHATEVER YOUR USERNAME IS -p YOUR PASSWORD
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress_risp.* to "AUSERNAME"@"localhost"
#hit enter and make a new line
-> IDENTIFIED BY "password";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT
Write down this information.
Next move your wordpress folder to where it’s going to be seen by the web, in my case /var/www/risp
mv wordpress /var/www/risp
rename the file “wp-config-sample.php” to “wp-config.php”
mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
edit it using your favorite text editor, in my case vim
vi wp-config.php
Follow the instructions in the document to add your MySQL DB stuff that you established earlier.
At this point you’re pretty much done. Navigate you localhost/wp-admin/install.php in your favorite browser to set it all up.
I’ve made some progress on the RPi Streaming Server.
To replicate this you’ll need to do the following:
1. Install miniDLNA
sudo apt-get install minidlna
2. Edit the config file to how you want it. Edit it using vim
sudo vi /etc/minidlna.conf
3. Here’s what I’m working with, and it works.
# This is the configuration file for the MiniDLNA daemon, a DLNA/UPnP-AV media
# server.
#
# Unless otherwise noted, the commented out options show their default value.
#
# On Debian, you can also refer to the minidlna.conf(5) man page for
# documentation about this file.
# Path to the directory you want scanned for media files.
#
# This option can be specified more than once if you want multiple directories
# scanned.
#
# If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can
# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),
# followed by a comma, as so:
# * "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music)
# * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures)
# * "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos)
#
# WARNING: After changing this option, you need to rebuild the database. Either
# run minidlna with the '-R' option, or delete the 'files.db' file
# from the db_dir directory (see below).
# On Debian, you can run, as root, 'service minidlna force-reload' instead.
media_dir=A,/home/pi/stream_files/media/audio
media_dir=P,/home/pi/stream_files/media/pictures
media_dir=V,/home/pi/stream_files/media/video
media_dir=/home/pi/stream_files/media
# Path to the directory that should hold the database and album art cache.
db_dir=/var/lib/minidlna
# Path to the directory that should hold the log file.
#log_dir=/var/log
# Minimum level of importance of messages to be logged.
# Must be one of "off", "fatal", "error", "warn", "info" or "debug".
# "off" turns of logging entirely, "fatal" is the highest level of importance
# and "debug" the lowest.
#log_level=warn
# Use a different container as the root of the directory tree presented to
# clients. The possible values are:
# * "." - standard container
# * "B" - "Browse Directory"
# * "M" - "Music"
# * "P" - "Pictures"
# * "V" - "Video"
# if you specify "B" and client device is audio-only then "Music/Folders" will be used as root
#root_container=.
# Network interface(s) to bind to (e.g. eth0), comma delimited.
#network_interface=
# IPv4 address to listen on (e.g. 192.0.2.1).
#listening_ip=
# Port number for HTTP traffic (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer).
port=8200
# URL presented to clients.
# The default is the IP address of the server on port 80.
#presentation_url=http://example.com:80
# Name that the DLNA server presents to clients.
#friendly_name=
# Serial number the server reports to clients.
serial=12345678
# Model name the server reports to clients.
#model_name=Windows Media Connect compatible (MiniDLNA)
# Model number the server reports to clients.
model_number=1
# Automatic discovery of new files in the media_dir directory.
#inotify=yes
# List of file names to look for when searching for album art. Names should be
# delimited with a forward slash ("/").
album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg
# Strictly adhere to DLNA standards.
# This allows server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images, which may
# decrease JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA products.
#strict_dlna=no
# Support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO.
#enable_tivo=no
# Notify interval, in seconds.
#notify_interval=895
# Path to the MiniSSDPd socket, for MiniSSDPd support.
#minissdpdsocket=/run/minissdpd.sock
You can grab the file itself here. The only thing that’s different is where I put the media directories. The rest of the instructions are still in the .conf, it’s much simpler than mediatomb for example.
Here’s a video of the whole thing working on 3 devices!
