Installing and setting up Ampache on openSUSE 11.1

• Install the ampache package from the server:/php:/applications/openSUSE_11.1/ repository

In a nutshell, you have to

• Create a MySQL database, username/password, initialize database and then update those values in /etc/ampache.cfg
• Go to http://hostname/ampache/test.php If the tests are ok, go to http://hostname/ampache/ to make sure it works. (replace hostname with the server's hostname or IP address)
• Edit /etc/ampache.cfg accordingly to meet your requirements. (ie: use_auth = "true")
