I'm assuming that you have Apache, PHP and MySQL running when you
get to this point.
- If you're upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 please refer to the MIGRATION Notes.
- Your database can't be re-used, but fear not the Ampache guys thoughtfully
- included scripts to port the data from your old database to the new one.
- (They get an extra beer for that one)
+ Unpack ampache from the tarball and name it ampache. Please insure that you
+ place ampache in your web path.
- If you're upgrading from 3.1 to a newer version refer to the MIGRATION Notes.
- There should be an automated update script which will allow you to keep your
- current database.
+ If you are migrating from an older version of Ampache to a newer version of
+ Ampache please see the MIGRATION notes.
If at any time during this install you can't figure out where you have gone
wrong check out /test.php for help.

- Ampache has a flagging system that allows users and admins to flag songs to be

- command line script called write_tags.php.inc located in /bin that will attempt
- to write out the tags as set, and approved in your Ampache database. This is a
