'''ccHost''' is an open source ([http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/ GPL] licensed) project that provides web-based infrastructure to support collaboration, sharing, and storage of multi-media using the Creative Commons licenses and metadata. It is used by [http://ccmixter.org ccMixter] and [[#Usage Examples|other sites]].

== Information ==

=== Short Description ===

"Web-based System Supporting Remixing and Collaboration on Media"

=== Goal ===

The goal of this project is to spread media content that is licensed under
Creative Commons throughout the web in much the same way that weblogs spread
CC licensed text. ccHost is web-based infrastructure that may be used to host
and allow for commenting, remixing, and distribution globally. The more
installations of ccHost and its variations, the more content there will be
available for enjoyment and artistic re-use in a sane and legal setting. ccHost
is what is used for the infamous Creative Commons CC Mixter project which
supports legal media sharing and remixing. For more information, contact Jon
Phillips at jon@creativecommons.org.

* '''Please add your installation here.'''

== Installation ==

''This needs to be added to and revised.''

=== Requirements ===

* PHP 4, MySQL 4, Cookies enabled in one's browser
* Install the GetID3 (1.7.3) library from here: http://www.getid3.org/#download before you install ccHost. (It's a simple download-unpack operation)
* If you would like integrated user comments and review threads you must install phpBB2 from http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php. Ratings, Editorial Picks and Contest Polls are built into the core ccHost, user reviews and comments are NOT and relies on phpBB2 forum software to achieve this.
* '''Platforms''': This system has been tested on Apache 1 and 2 Windows and Linux. If you've got it working on IIS or OSX let us know. We haven't tried.
* Here is my block of code in the apache virtual host for setting the rewrite rules to get pretty urls:

<pre>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ccmixter.localhost
ServerPath /ccmixter
#DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cchost
DocumentRoot /home/rejon/Documents/freelance/creativecommons/src/ccmixter

<Directory "/home/rejon/Documents/freelance/creativecommons/src/ccmixter">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?ccm=/$1 [L,QSA]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
</pre>

==== MySQL commands for Setting up DB ====

* install root mysql user:
** mysqladmin -u root password 'PASSWORD_HERE'
* once logged into mysql:
** create database cchost;
* to create a new user once inside mysql with access to a table cchost:
** grant all on cchost.* to jsmith@localhost identified by 'Secret15';

==== phpBB2 Installation ====

* [http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php Download Latest Version]
* [http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=install Official Installation Instructions]

==== Notes ====

* Installing the CCHost software involved download the source files from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80503&package_id=156675 sourceforge], and running a simple installation script. Permissions will need to be set on several folders, namely cclib/phptal/phptal_cache.
* The text for the front page can be changed by editing ccfiles/home.xml. The other menu functions etc are generally modified using the admin functions of the site.

== Projects ==

Creative Commons actively develops the following software projects:

* [[ccPublisher]]
* [[ccLookup]]
* [[ccHost]] ([[ccMixter]] source code)
* [[Command Line Tools]]
* [[CcNutch]]

Code for our projects is hosted at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/cctools Sourceforge.net] or [[CcTools Berlios|Berlios.de]]; see the [[Source Repository Policy]] for information on contributing code or starting a new project.

=== Supporting Projects ===

We also maintain several library projects which are reused in some of our applications:

* [[License Wrappers]] language-specific wrappers for representing and manipulating license information
* [[Creative Commons Web Services]]
* [[Web Services Client Implementations]]
* [[pyArchive]]
* [[Ajax License Chooser]]

=== Exploratory Projects ===

The projects below are currently being discussed or explored:
* [[Content Aggregation]]
* [[libcclicense]] - an abstract library for implementing license support (C-library)
* [[Dream CC Tool]] - A discussion of the "ideal" CC tool; possibly the successor to ccPublisher?
* [[Development Ideas]] - A collection of nascent ideas for CC-enabled tools. As these become more fleshed out, they'll be moved to their own pages.
