    Hello,

    I have finally gotten an install of Campcaster to run. I was unable to
    compile LS version due to limited knowledge of the process. I used
    Ubuntu 7.04
    "Feisty:". I also had to change an instruction given in the cheatsheet
    to Feisty from Dapper to get things to work. All works as intended. I
    tried Ubuntu Studio but was less successful, I do not believe it is
    exactly the same as the official Ubuntu.

    The problem is not with Campcaster, but with my network. Some net
    sluething revealed port 80 and port 3344 blocked. I can run the web
    interface inside my small LAN, but not from outside. I am thinking of
    two solutions: find the block or use different ports. I found two ports
    that are not blocked, but changing the ports from the Campcaster studio
    interface causes Campcaster to "lose" all three servers Campcaster is
    well behaved here and simply asked if I wanted to fix the port setting
    to log on, well done..

    I note that I can access Station thru LAN even if Studio is not running
    and assume a configuration file is somewhere and it could be changed.
    Is this true? If so can the ports be changed there?

    My interest is somewhat casual as the Cheif engineer for a large non
    commercial station and several smaller non commercial stations. These
    stations are using very expensive software for automation and the
    investment is high in time to use it. Campcaster seems ideal for the
    target of unserved audiences, however and it will remain of interest to
    me for use at small stations in the future. My interest is in the web
    administration of a station running automation and I am using this
    fascinating software as a learning environment. My knowledge of Linux,
    the web and networks has been increased, thanks.

    I would also like to thank the people who are creating this software for
    the world, a fine gift indeed for a world in need of truth.

    Hi,

    The Campcaster storage server and web interface are web services which
    are run by Apache. I think the easiest way to make them accessible
    from outside on a different port is not to change anything in
    Campcaster, but make Apache listen on a second port as well (say
    10080), and redirect all requests to port 10080 to the same document
    root as the default.

    See the "port-based vhosts" section in the Apache virtual hosts
    documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/examples.html

    Caveat: nobody has tried this yet, so it may not work. Please tell us
    if it did. Thanks,

    Ferenc
