This worked for me:

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jinzora2

For those of you still getting this message:
Warning: Unknown(/var/www/jinzora2/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Try this:

Go to the jinzora directory (is it /var/www/jinzora2 ?) and do:

chmod -R a+rX .

I just did:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data jinzora2 (or whatever you named the folder)

and it fixed it for me.

If you have run the configure script as listed in the article, it should change the file permission.

You might want to try the following command

sudo chmod 755 /var/www/jinzora2

@etescartz

I am having the same problem. my media is on a fat32 formatted external drive. when i try to import media from it, i get the same error:

Warning: dir(/media/LACIE) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /var/www/jinzora2/install/browse.php on line 52

Anyone have any ideas why?

Hi.. If you don’t mind a linux n00b question .. I used this guide but I’m running into a little trouble.. When I’m browsing for media files i go to /home/”user”/ and then it doesn’t see any folders. If i leave it like that and hit analyze it doesn’t gives an error that /var/www/jinzora2/install/browse.php has no access to view the files under that folder (access denied on line 52 of that script)
The weird thing is that it has no trouble finding media on one of the ntfs partitions that i mounted from my windows hard drive (i have dual boot).. I have same media on both ntfs mounted partitions and ext3 partition in /home/”user”/Music.. So i wish i could use the music stored in my /home folder.. Any help with this is appreciated. (ignore any grammar errors please/I’m not a native English speaker)

Thank you for the quick response. =)

I was able to come up with that on my own and get him logged in. I’m only a couple months in from making the full jump into linux, so I’m happy to see I got it right. w00t!

Jinzora is still running a little quirky for uploading media from an external drive. His drive comes up, but no directories or files show up after that.

@nephilim11: To uninstall Jinzora, you simply have to delete the Jinzora2 folder and the database.
sudo rm /var/www/Jinzora2. Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and delete away the Jinzora2 database. You can start afresh after that.

Hiya! Your guide has been the easiest to follow so far that I’ve found. Thank so much for posting! I was able to get everything running smoothly on my lappy…er…laptop, but am now trying to get it running on my boyfriend’s computer.

There have been a few snags with his install though. Ultimately, I figured everything out except for when he tries to login…it comes up as invalid password.

I know this is a silly question…but what command prompt would I use to uninstall jinzora2 completely so I could start new? There were so many snags, like I said, along the way of his install…I’m not sure where things went wrong, so I figured an uninstall would be the best thing. Maybe you know of another way?

Thanks in advance!
Tia

@iceman600: Yes, it will use the system default media player to play the music. This is how you configure your system to handle Web streaming, nothing to do with Jinzora.

ok i did it just a couple of wifi problem…
when i acces it on my vista laptop and select a song it actually give me an option to download and it opens the media player to play the song. is that what it does really? i mean when you select a song it will open another media player for it to play?

im sorry for asking to many questions…
