http user has no permissions to /dev/dsp

hello,

I've installed a nice program called 'Glirnath' on my webserver - with this program I am supposed to be able to use remote connection through apache to play music with mpg123 on my linux box.

it said i need to give the websever permissions to access the sound device so i tried all of these:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp
chmod 666 /dev/sound/dsp
gpasswd -a http audio

but I keep getting the error:

Please check the permissions of the audio device '/dev/sound/dsp'. Your web server user needs to be able to read and write the file.

One way to do this is (probably) to execute the following command as root:

  chmod 666 /dev/sound/dsp;

nothing works!

please HELP!

Re: http user has no permissions to /dev/dsp

Did the chmod commands you executed give you any errors?

This page is in russian, but the commands are readable to us at least:

Try either or both of these and see what happens:

 REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
 REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660

Re: http user has no permissions to /dev/dsp

hi,

for both of these i get command REGISTER not found..

I try to skim through the link you sent and i saw it had something to do with a /etc/devfsd.conf

I have no such file on my system!

What to do?

thank you

That Russian page I found earlier is pretty confusing, so I found the above link.  Looks like they used chmod 777 instead of chmod 666.  777 should give you full permissions.

Re: http user has no permissions to /dev/dsp

I solved the problem.

The issue was in php.ini there is a directive called open_basedir, this directive needs to contain all folders php can access.. added /dev/sound to it and now i think we're ok.

thanks a lot!
