Use MP3s under public_html in root?
I have about 1TB of MP3s. Due to leechers, I don't want them accessible via the web, so I serve downloads of files via a PHP proxy file.
I want to offer a podcast and I am pretty sure dir2cast can help in my scenario, but I just cannot get it to work.
Server layout:
Where my website is /home/company/public_html/
Where dir2cast sits /home/company/public_html/podcast/
Where my mp3 files are /home/company/mp3s/
My settings in dir2cast.ini are:
MP3_DIR = /home/company/mp3s/
;MP3_BASE
;MP3_URL
The files are found and recursively so throughout the directories I have (brilliant) but links to the files in the XML come out as:
file:///home/company/mp3s/show1.mp3
Any help would be blinding!
Cheers
Heya,
If you peek at the source code, file:// is the last resort when it couldn't work out the right URL from a combination of HTTP_HOST and DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variables.
You can also just specify your "web root" by setting MP3_URL, which in your configuration you've commented out. Just set that (as well as MP3_DIR) and you should be set.
