The AVAP-Daemon is the server daemon of Ida. First download the daemon. You can choose between a debian package, a bz2-compressed or a gz-compressed tar archive. To extract the tar.bz2 archive type
$ tar xvjf avapd-0.0.1.tar.bz2 |
or for the tar.gz archive
$ tar xvzf avapd-0.0.1.tar.gz |
Before you can compile the server, check that your version of gcc is 3.0 or higher! Then enter the new directory and run these commands to compile the server
$ cd avapd-0.0.1 $ ./configure && make |
For the installation you need root privileges!
$ su Password: # make install |
If you are running a Debian system and don't want to compile the server yourself, you can download the debian package and install it (you have to be root).
# dpkg -i avapd_0.0.1-1_i386.deb |
Now the server is installed and executable with the command "avapd". When you want to start the server, ensure that postgres is running and don't forget to start the mDNSResponder if you want to connect with iTunes to the server! To get a list of options use
$ avapd --help |
It is recommended to start the server in backround and to define a logfile.
$ avapd -b -l LOGFILE.log |
It's also usefull to start the server at boot time. So you need a startscript and rc-links on it. Enter the directory where the startscripts are and create a new file called "avapd". Use your favorite editor to do this (vi, vim, nano, ...).
# cd /etc/init.d # vi avapd |
Now copy in the following script.
#! /bin/sh # # Written by Alexander Bauer |
If you don't like to use syslog remove the "-s" option of avapd and add "-l YOUR_LOGFILE" instead. Of course you can add any options you want... And if you want the script to start the mDNSResponder for iTunes you must remove the "#" at the beginning of the following lines!
#RESPONDER="/path/to/mDNSResponder-66.3/mDNSPosix/build/mDNSResponderPosix -p 3689 -t _daap._tcp. -n `hostname`&" # su ida -c "$RESPONDER" # killall mDNSResponderPosix # killall mDNSResponderPosix # su ida -c "$RESPONDER" |
In the first of these lines you also have to correct the path of the Responder.
Finaly you can run the following commands to create the links.
# ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc0.d/K10avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc1.d/K10avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc2.d/S50avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc3.d/S50avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc4.d/S50avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc5.d/S50avapd # ln -s /etc/init.d/avapd /etc/rc6.d/K10avapd |
Now the server is installed and starts up at boot time.
