Server Setup¶

As might be expected for a web application as complex and flexible as mdid3, a number of configuration steps are required to get going.

Setup user accounts¶

Create MDID user account¶

(this allows mdid3 to run programs on it’s own behalf)

sudo adduser mdid

Add admin account (not the mdid utility account) to the staff group¶

sudo nano /etc/group

Find the following line and append your username (not mdid)¶

staff:x:50:

it will look like this when you’ve done it

::

    staff:x:50:mdid3admin:

| (**ctrl-x** will exit, prompting you to "*save modified buffer*\ "
(i.e.
| the file you have open) - type “y” and the return/enter key to
save
| before exiting )

Important: Log out of the command line and log back in
