Is Release Title in the database?

Eh?

It says on the wiki that "A release has a ReleaseTitle and consists of one or more Tracks"

but it doesn't seem to exist in the database anywhere, so it's in the server software?

it's album.name in the database

ah, I see

heh I should hope the ReleaseTitles are in the db :p

daq4th: I think if Foo presents Bar, "Bar" should be the one credited as the artist.

I usually run far away from those tracks though :/

ok, thats the way i did it ...

we go to add stuff to MusicBrainz, do we add the same logical album 3

times?"

Ah damn, copy/paste fail

That doesn't make much sense to me :/ "buy track 1 *from some album*"

that's like saying "I ripped tracks 2 and 5 from a cd, should I add them separately in mb?"

you take one day off from MB and all hell breaks loose. :-9

Yeah exactly lol

ruaok: oh?

mb-devel. :)

ah, the technical ngs stuff?

heh, at least it's civilized hell :p

yeah.

I didn't understand it anyway

"We're a community music cataloging enterprise; not the English language police." haha I agree with that statement :)

well, all that will be my afternoon reading for a not-so lazy sunday.

nikki: Could you do your EAN/UPC comparison magic please? http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008KGTN/

I'm hoping they're different, I think Amazon mixed up the UPC's on two ASINs.

what am I comparing it with?

Can't you compare the EAN and UPC of that one product?

The other is http://www.amazon.de/Essential-DJ-Mixes-Vol-1-V...

amazon only returns an EAN for those... 4032989102570 for the first one, 4032989102556 for the second

hm

Well Amazon and http://www.imusic.dk/item/4032989102570/ agree on EAN/tracklist, but on the cover it shows the other UPC http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9396/djdages...

..2556 matches a 19/19 track release on Amazon and imusic :/

hm, helpful...

it wouldn't exactly surprise me if they were mixed up, the covers are exactly the same

on the other hand, maybe they just mixed up the track lists...

Does the 19/19 one have "Oldschool" and "Newschool" as disc titles?

pronik` is now known as pronik

ruaok: hehe, good luck^W^W have fun reading :)

yea. :-)

navap: on the B00008KGTN amazon tells me i bought this item in 2003

They both show a date of 2003-04-XX on Amazon I think.

Greetings@ all

could someone provide me some help with the virtual mb server? - PLEASE!

What's wrong with it?

i got stuck with this odd msg codebase 8 schema base 10

i tried hard with this one forum howto

Aha, you need to make a checkout of the new version of the codebase

but when i am finish i got 2 options

a non running version -- with several files lost

or a non running version moining about the code/schema version

Okay, go to your homefolder, and do "svn co http://svn.musicbrainz.org/mb_server/branches/R... mbserver"

ok just a mom

And then "cd mbserver" and do what the virutal server guide says from there. That should have an up to date version of the codebase that won't complain about incompatible DB schemas.

Errm, actually you'll need to ditch the already existing DB and recreate them with the new checkout too.

ok done the svn

Okay, cd to the newly made directory

now under svn dir a got mb_server and mb_server-20081123

Then ./admin/psql SYSTEM

Waiy, scratch that

ok

Before that, cd mb_server-20081123 and edit DBDefs.pm

Make sure it has the corret values, you can reference the DBEfs.pm file in the older directory for what should be i there.

thats the first fault ....

if you do the svn co thing

the newly received dir has now admin/DBDefs.pm file neigther DBDefs.pm.default

the newly received dir has no admin/DBDefs.pm file neigther DBDefs.pm.default

Hmm, it may be located in the root of the new svn co'd folder instead.

It's in cgi-bin

So yeah, in the new folder, you can cp cgi-bin/DBDefs.pm.default cgi-bin/DBDefs.pm

And then edit cgi-bin/DBDefs.pm

done

created also a secret value

Okay, from the new folder, now try running adming/psql SYSTEM

This should give you a Postgres prompt if your DBDefs is correct

i got a prompt now ... template1#

Okay good

You need to drop the old databases that were created with the old script version

You can do that with "DROP DATABASE musicbrainz_db;"

ok i know how ...

And "DROP DATABASSE musicbrainz_db_raw;"

Ah okay.

dropped

Okay, \q, to get out of thee prompt and now you should be able to continue with the virtual server guide using your new checkout of the code.

if i try now the admin/Initdb thing then i will get an error - i�m sure :(

Well try it and see what the error says, and we'll go from there. ;)

ok ...

i�ll do now the perl ./admin line ....

ok mbdump/cdtoc ... and ongoing

mddump/puid

mbdump/puid

mbdump/track

this is a long one i know :)

i this works then i know whats wrong

Heh

there is a "mv mb_server mb_server-20081123" line in this forum howto

and that just mess up all

Mind linking to the forum post, I'm intrigrued.

ok the script loads now artist

id=1224

already load track

50% and ongoing

sadly vm could not handle more cpu�s :)

now creating indexes

still on the indexes

Muz?

Yes??

Ah ok .. thinking you are deepreading the forumpost :)

Nah, nothing to say whilst that churns away.

Ok

Index creating done ... now some Alter Table Op�s

some warnings about skipping pg_authid and vacuum it

That's fine

The hard part will come - when i try to start indianer

:)

DONE!

try to start the apache?

You might need to copy the apache files over from the old SVN folder to the new one

Or use them as reference to edit th efiles in the new svn folder.

I thnk they may have moved about too. :/

ok tried to start

started success but got an error -> you don�t have permission

What's the exact command and exact error?

the start cmd (apache-perl start) was a success

but if i try to access the server over a browser i got

Forbidden - You don�t have permission to access / on this server
