=====1: Required tools and programs=====

• A: Linux or BSD-Server
• B: A Web server (I recommend lighttpd)
• C: PHP5 with Pear-extension . (I recommend php5-cgi)
• D: MPD 0.13 or later installed

=====2: Configure MPD=====

If you install MPD with a package-manager, you only have to change the entry "music_directory" to the directory where your songs (MP3, WAV) are stored.

** -> sudo vi /etc/mpd.conf**

After rebuilding the database...

** -> sudo mpd --create-db**

and restarting the daemon...

** -> sudo /etc/init.d/mpd restart**

... you should be ready to play music with MPD. For further information's read "man mpd.conf".

**Important:** The volume-slider wil only work, if you configure the mixer in mpd.conf to **SOFTWARE**!!

=====3: Install RelaxxPlayer===== Just unpack the relaxx-archive into your Web-Root. Make sure, that the /config directory is writable by PHP. If necessary, change user-rights or owner.

=====4: Configure RelaxxPlayer===== The default **USERNAME** is "admin". Leave the **PASSWORD** field empty. Once you have opened the "config"-dialog you have basic access to the MPD connection values and RelaXXPlayer-settings.

• If the MPD-Daemon is running at the same computer the **HOST** is 127.0.0.1 or localhost
• The default **PORT** as defined in /etc/mpd.conf for MPD is 6600
• The **PASSWORD** as defined in /etc/mpd.conf ist normally empty

In the "rights-select"-dialog, you can choose different rights for non validated (anonymous) users. So you can configure the player way, that anonymous-users are only allowed to add-song (for example). This might be useful for youth clubs or bars, where you want to use MPD and RelaXXP as a virtual jukebox. Initially all rights are enabled.
