Sun, 06 Mar 2005 16:19:17 -0800 Sun, 06 Mar 2005 16:19:17 -0800 en-us http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 http://ask.metafilter.com/15969/How-to-get-ModMp3-to-read-directories I'm running Apache 1.3, with the latest version of mod_mp3 to stream mp3s. It is pulling mp3s from 2 directories, one of which has a collection of mp3s not in subdirectories, and the other directory only has sub directories which contain mp3s. Mod_mp3 will read the mp3s from the first directory, but not the second one that only has subdirectories. What the duce? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.15969 Sun, 06 Mar 2005 12:19:30 -0800 jackofsaxons apache mod_mp3 streaming mp3 http://ask.metafilter.com/15969/How-to-get-ModMp3-to-read-directories#272225 Sounds like a permissions problem. Does the user Apache is running as (find out with ps aux | grep httpd, or grep apache) have read permission (ls -l on the parent directory and the root of the tree) on that directory? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.15969-272225 Sun, 06 Mar 2005 16:19:17 -0800 maschnitz http://ask.metafilter.com/15969/How-to-get-ModMp3-to-read-directories#272243 It appears that the problem was I specified mod_mp3 to only play the filetype mp3. I removed that and it played it just fine. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.15969-272243 Sun, 06 Mar 2005 17:33:12 -0800 jackofsaxons
