does anyone have the know-how and the patience to give me some pointers on setting up a postgres database in order to install mb_server? I already have set up the database and the user etc, I can connect to the server using the username and pw but the script fails so i think it's a db permission problem

nikki` needs to go pack her computer up, brb
2005-11-28 33233, 2005
nikki`
other computer, that is
2005-11-28 33247, 2005
nikki`
you need to edit pg_hba.conf, or whatever it's called
2005-11-28 33221, 2005

I found it easiest to just set db access for the mb user to allowed without a password, but that's not very secure
2005-11-28 33240, 2005
nikki`
you can apparently make ident work, but I never worked out how
2005-11-28 33216, 2005
aimaz
k, I'll try that

I would look at my conf, but I just packed up that computer... :)
2005-11-28 33216, 2005
nikki`
I copied a line from the existing ones in pg_hba.conf, local something something trust or something
2005-11-28 33223, 2005

but I have to go take my computer to my flat now

2005-11-28 33231, 2005
r00ted
or is that up to amazon?

r00ted: depends on mb mapping to the right album on amazon, and amazon having the cover art
2005-11-28 33251, 2005

Oh and r00ted, it's unlikely that users will be able to upload album art due to a lot of complex copyright laws covering the images

none of these big chunky boxes like ntl sent my mum

that's why we use amazon's
2005-11-28 33202, 2005

Also it's less prone to errors with amazon's too
2005-11-28 33211, 2005

how so?
2005-11-28 33222, 2005
nikki__ rarely sees the right damned cover art

If users could upload their own, you'd get the odd person putting the wrong art, and it woul dbe inconsistant too
2005-11-28 33237, 2005

aimaz: had any luck?
2005-11-28 33239, 2005

ah
2005-11-28 33246, 2005

As in you'd have art of all sizes and quality being submitted, and consistency is awesome
