Hi, Are you updating from a previous version of Rivendell, or switching from another automation system over to Rivendell?
If updating from a previous version of Rivendell, as long as your /var/snd has the correct permissions then you can just import your database from the old Rivendell install, run rdadmin (to trigger the initial database check / update), and you should be good to go. Unless you're updating from the 1.x.x branch, in which case you'll also need to ensure that Apache is running and set up correctly. If you're switching from another automation system then it'll all depend on the system you're coming from. You can still set up a drop-box on the Rivendell machine and dump your audio files into that, let Rivendell do the import. If your files all have metadata (mp3's with the ID tags, WAV files with Cartchunk, etc) or if the information is a part of the file name (you can specify the metadata pattern in the dropbox setup) then Rivendell will do most of the work for you. > > > Hello, > > > > > > Yesterday we started installing Rivendell (2.6.0) at the station where I work > (Radio Capelle, Netherlands).
