That worked awesome, got everything up and running on my network. Thanx guys.

Is there a way to make samba and webmin to start at startup??

Perhaps a search of the forum will reveal the answer you seek.

you just need to start samba at boot time...

# cd /etc/rc2.d
# ln -s ../init.d/samba S92samba

If you're using R4V2 do:

# update-rc.d samba defaults

Ok my next question
I have an entire harddrive dedicated to mp3s on my windows box, can I play them on my mythbox over the network? As in load them in to the library on the mythbox?

please create a new topic as your question may easily be missed or people with similar questions will not see it

I'm getting error denied messages when trying to access webmin from my windows machine. Yes I did add in the correct allow's in the miniserv.conf file. I turned off all of my firewalls just in case that was somehow hindering it.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks for this great resource!

I couldn't get things working as described in this thread since I couldn't log into the computer administrator web page and got a "Permission Denied" error after the security certificate windows.

I got Samba working with the instructions here: http://www.linux-mag.com/2000-04/newbies_02.html in case anyone else is having the same problem. It's probably not the most secure setup, but I'm not worried too much since I'm inside a subnet with my only gateway being a dial-up connection on another computer running ICS.

Now if only I could get my PVR 350 working for TV output *sigh*. MythTV and KnoppMyth look better and better the more I see of them. I'll be backing up my Linux partition before trying to get the the TVOUT working again, though (any guesses what happened last time I tried?).

Cheers.

Just something minor, caused some confusion for me. Probably a little late in saying this and I think most have figured this out just looking at the conf file but, . . .

In part 1 of these instructions:
allow <chosen IP address>

should be
allow=<IP address> # note the '='

for example:
allow=127.0.0.1

if you want more than one address to have access:
allow=127.0.0.1 192.168.1.30

if you want the localhost access and your LAN:
allow=127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0

This was what I had to do in a v2 and v3 KnoppMyth install. Threw me for a brief rut.

well i followed your instructions for getting webmin running. worked great .. someone asked how to make it start up every time

System Tab> BootUp and ShutDown > (to the bottom) webmin

click on webmin click "YES" for start at boot time?

bam

starts every time..

as for the OS X I also turned on FTP. this allowed me to move my music and videos to their proper folders.

so far move there but i have yet to get the music to show up in the play lists. and the image that i moved over showed up in the list but would not display. Permissions issue i believe, still playing.

you can lead a person to knowledge but you cant make them think.

When I try to do the Sambe password bit at the very beginning of this howto I get this error and thus I cannot connect to the share from my windows box.

NM fixed this problem. Now the problem is I cannot write to the share, I think I have made the share writeable in the Security and Access Control section...

[edit] Made my user a part of the mythtv group and now it seems to be fine.

A quick hint in case anyone else makes the same mistake I did - after wasting a couple of evenings on samba (webmin is great) I discovered that my firewall on the WinXP box was stopping me from connecting to the /myth share. It didn't raise any alarms, just stopped the connection.

Using ZoneAlarm, I had to add my Knoppmyth box to the 'trusted' zone. Now it is all sweetness

Odd, I thought firewalls were about stopping incoming comms not outgoing?

Once I got webmin up per your instructions I used that to set up webmin and samba to start at boot ( go to the "server" tab on webmin, select "boot-up and shutdown" - select the two processes you want to start at boot-up, and select the "start on boot" button at the bottom of the page and that should do it.
