I'm using the PHP-version of inAudio and want to use MS Access as data-provider.
You need to setup 2 ODBC-providers to to this.
<-- Back to the F.A.Q mainpage
Open the Data Sources (ODBC) administrator which you can find in the Windows Control Panel (or in Windows Control Panel -> Administrative Tools on some systems)
Select System DSN from the tabs on top (a user DSN won't work):
Click the Add-button.
The "Create New Data Source"-window will be displayed.
Select Microsoft Access Driver from the list and then click the Finish- button.
The ODBC Microsoft Access Setup window will be displayed:
Give your connection a name (for example php_inaudio) and then click the Select..-button. The Select Database window will be displayed.
Navigate to the directory where you installed the application-files for Octagon inAudio
(for example c:\program files\octagon inaudio).
Then go to the subdirectory db and you should see 3 .mdb- files.
Double-click on the file inaudio.mdb.
You are now back in the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup-window. Click OK.
Repeat the procedure with the file playlist.mdb which is situated in the same directory as inaudio.mdb.
When you are done setting up the 2 ODBC-providers, Open the inAudio Control Panel.
Click the Change-button in the Database Settings panel.
The Database Provider and Settings window will be displayed.
Select Access.
The Edit Php-access connections-window will be displayed.
Type in the names of the ODBC-connections you set up earlier or click browse to browse the available ODBC-connections on your system.
When you are done, click Test Data Sources to make sure you have gotten everything right.
Click OK, save your changes and re-index.
All done :)
