SETUP

• These scripts were written and tested on Ubuntu 12.10 where bash is located at /bin/bash. You may need to create a symlink or edit these scripts accordingly.

• Please backup your database first. Something like this should do it.

  mysqldump --opt -u root -p newznab > ~/newznab_backup.sql

• The first step is to decide whether or not you will convert your database to the InnoDB engine. The InnoDB has a lot of benefits, too many to list here, but more ram is required. How much exactly, depends on too many things to list here.

• If you decide to convert your database, I recommend using kevin123's github. I recommend only converting the binaries a parts table, using compressed tables. But, there are many choices. I suggest you read his README and follow his recommendations. Or, simply:

  cd /var/www/newznab/misc/testing

  git clone https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-InnoDB-Dropin.git kev-innodb

  cd kev-innodb/lib/innodb

  php convertToInnoDB.php

• Now, you will need to clone andrewit's github and get his scripts.

  cd /var/www/newznab/misc/testing/

  git clone https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-InnoDB-Dropin.git innodb

• Clone my github

  cd /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/nix_scripts/

  git clone https://github.com/jonnyboy/newznab-tmux.git tmux

  cd tmux

• Edit the paths, timers, user name, what to run and then accept.

  nano edit_these.sh

• Edit some permissions, run as root. The file .tmux.conf will be copied to the users home folder. If, when you run ./start.sh you see 0 nzb's and you are sure there are more than 0 left to import, verify the path to the nzb's in .tmux.conf in the home folder of the user.

  ./set_perms.sh

• Run my script, as user. If, you have grsecurity in you kernel, you will need to run using sudo if you use nmon or bwm-ng.

  ./start.sh

• If you connect using putty, then under Window/Translation set Remote character set to UTF-8.

• If something looks stalled, it probably isn't. If all 12 panes are still there, it is most likely, as it should be.

• You must edit misc/testing/update_cleanup.php in order for it to actually do something, and update_parsing is good for fixing a few releases everytime it runs, not a silver bullet though.

• Now all panes should be running smoothly. If any pane crashes, it should remain open and return to the prompt. You should also be able to see the error that caused it to crash.

• Join in the converstion at irc://moonlight.se.eu.synirc.net/newznab-tmux.

• The development branch of this git is still under heavy development. To run the development branch, type the command below and repeat then edit the edit_these.sh file.

  git checkout dev

• Thanks go to all who offered their assistance and improvement to these scripts, especially kevin123.
