 Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 11:56 pm Post subject: Help setting up Murmur |
 |
|
I'm trying to set up Murmur (the Mumble server) on a Gentoo box, but I know little to nothing about Linux, and even less about Gentoo. Stumbling in the dark here...
Here's what I've done so far...
| Code: | wget -O murmur-static_x86-1.2.3.tar.bz2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.3/murmur-static_x86-1.2.3.tar.bz2/download
tar -xjvf murmur-static_x86-1.2.3.tar.bz2
cd murmur-static_x86-1.2.3 |
I'll note that I don't have root, so I'm using the static build.
At which point, I edited the ini before proceeding. And then...
| Code: | | ./murmur.x86 -ini murmur.ini -v -fg |
Then I set a super user password. However... that's as far as I've been able to get.
And on top of that, I'm not sure how to get Murmur to run, then stay running in the background or whatever, because Linux command-line just completely blows right over my head.
I don't think I actually made a super user to begin with though, so I'm not sure how I set the super user password. That part makes no sense. I also don't understand how to make it automatically register users rather than having to do it manually.
Basically... I'm pretty sure I've installed it, but I can't figure out how to set it up and get it to run and stay running and what have you, and some assistance would be appreciated. T_T |

| Why didn't you just use "emerge murmur" instead of manually compiling it? |

| I don't think I can use emerge on my server. |

You can still make use of a package manager without needing root access, see here.
To get it to run automatically without access to the system init scripts, the most reliable way would be a crontab @reboot line with daemontools starting the service. The manual is dry but everything you need is in there. |

...I don't understand any of that. 
If you could just give me the magical little command thingy to type, that would be really helpful, because I really honestly understand practically nothing about Linux.
The stuff I've done so far, I didn't even figure that out on my own... I was helped with that much. |

Hi, I'd say you really (and I mean _really_) need to check if you do or do not have root or sudo access on the machine.
Emerging murmur is really the best way to install it on a gentoo box. With a static server, you need to launch the daemon and let it run, if you emerge it you can set it up as a system service. Ofc it's possible to set it up with the static server, but it will require a bit of knowledge you obviously don't have.
If it's a server you're renting, you should really have root access on it (or get a new hosting company asap).
If you have sudo access :
| Code: | $ sudo emerge murmur
$ sudo nano /etc/murmur/murmur.ini
$ sudo eselect rc add murmur default
$ sudo eselect rc start murmur |
Once you get a server running (check with "sudo netstat -lnptu|grep murmur") you can install a webserver and Ice (check mumble documentation) to use an admin panel (I personnally recommend http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmumbleadmin/)
