[Solved] Volumio installation from github

Help and Support Help
1

Hello everybody,
I’d like to integrate Volumio in my project which is based on the latest Minibian.

I followed the instructions I found about PiBang typingoutloud.org/raspberry-pi-i … io-pibang/
and I tried both Web-UIs found on github.com/volumio (I have added both pi and volumio users).

If I put an index.html page in /var/www I can see it correctly but the volumio/index.php shows a white page.

I then added three lines to the top of index.php file and got an error message about line 32 in /var/www/inc/config.ing file

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

I opened config.inc file and tried changing line 32 from: define('ROOTPATH', $_SERVER['HOME'] . '/' ); to define('ROOTPATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/' ); and finally the interface showes up but it’s not responding at all.

What am I missing to make it work correctly?
Is there any guide available to set up volumio from scratch?

Thanks for any help you might give me,
and have a nice day,
V.

The WebUI shows? Have you checked MPD installation? I don’t think it comes with the WebUI-repo.
I’m not entirely sure what modules/dependencies/services the current WebUI uses, but you might want to check if they are installed.

I don’t think so. Volumio right now is a pre-made image, with tweaks and optimalizations included. It is based on a custom mixed operating system, which is why ‘apt-get upgrade’ might break it. This will however change in the future, to make it less platform-dependant.

Hello Meryn
thanks for your reply. I just made it!!

I had to update to PHP 5.5.6 and then no more need to modify config.inc file!

I just re-created the symbolic links from /mnt/ to /var/lib/mpd/music:

sudo ln -s /mnt/NAS /var/lib/mpd/music/NAS sudo ln -s /mnt/UPNP /var/lib/mpd/music/UPNP sudo ln -s /mnt/USB /var/lib/mpd/music/USB sudo ln -s /run/shm /var/lib/mpd/music/RAMPLAY
then I copied /var/lib/mpd/music/WEBRADIO from Volumio SD to my SD card
and it finally worked! :smiley:
