Indexing page for your recordings
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 2:29 pm
While searching for an easy way to index and display all our recordings, with search facility and basic authentication, I came across this one:
http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/
Well, it served exactly our needs.
How I did it in short- create a new folder /var/www/recordings (debian).
Extract there the contents of autoindex files.
Make a symlink to your recordings FTP directory, in our case it's /home/ftp/cron/RECORDINGS.
ln -s /home/ftp/cron/RECORDINGS/ /var/www/recordings/RECORDINGS
chown -R -h www-data:www-data /var/www/recordings
To be able to use admin.php page and lead search with link to each recording, I created a second symlink
ln -s /home/ftp/cron/RECORDINGS/ /var/www/RECORDINGS
astguiclient.conf
Indexes are disabled in apache2.conf:
Set the appropriate permissions for the sensitive files.
When setting up AutoIndex put ./RECORDINGS/ for Base Directory.
The same way was for /var/www/reports, all our reports are copied daily to /home/ftp/cron/REPORTS.
Hope this helps for anyone with similar to our needs.
