A newb looking for help #69

Hey guys, much respect for what you are doing and from reading what some people have got going with this software it looks amazing.

I am stuck in a bind at the moment, where it seems like the only option for my configuration to be able to surpass the 65k track limit is this application. The only problem is that I am a bit of a linux new as well as not being familiar with python.

On Ubuntu 11.x I have tried following the installation instructions, I downloaded every dependency I could see required and then I attempted running the python_web script. After running this, I look inside the log file and its giving me tons of issues, lots of "bash not found" etc errors.

On Windows 7 I have also tried to follow those specific instructions and I too met failure. At first when I ran the script I had a "Python Command Not Found" in the log. To alleviate this I changed my enviromental variable in order to include the python installation and after I did this I seem to be able to run the python_web.cmd without any errors appearing in the logs. I optimistically thought that perhaps I had the server running, but unfortunately I cannot log into any server, be it attempting via localhost, or remotely within my network.

I am really at my wits end, I wish I had the time to really learn this stuff but I am so busy with work and we need some way to get around the 65k limit. I know of the WMP fixes and such but unfortunately due to our NAS and RAID parameters the only way to do this without buying an expensive RAID controller would be to use your software.

I am asking if any of you could give me a hand a really give me a "For Dummies" explanation of how I can get this running. E.g: what OS? exactly what dependencies? exactly what commands?. I know I ask for alot, really I would appreciate any help.

Thank You.

Alec.

Wow, It seems to work now. I loaded Ubuntu 9.04 and all seems good... I will update this thread with any issues I encounter along the way though..
