VidiScript is one of the powerful FREE open source video sharing or video streaming community scripts available online today! I recently had a chance to install VidiScript for one of my clients and faced many code issues while installing it. I thought to share the steps that I followed to install it.
VidiScript application is built for older PHP versions, and new PHP versions ( 5.3.x, 5.4.x, 5.5.x, etc.) seem to have issues. I manage to fix all of these code issues, and you can find the complete installation steps below.
1) First thing you have to do is, install the requirements. The requirement list is given below.
Vidiscript requires the following server setup:
- PHP 4.3 or higher
- GD Graphics library 2
- .htaccess and URL rewrites must be enabled
- cURL Enabled
- Latest IonCube loaders
- Your server must support FFmpeg
Also:
- FFmpeg (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu)
- FFmpeg-PHP (http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net)
- MEncoder and Mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu)
- LAME (http://lame.sourceforge.net)
Recommended PHP configuration:
- safe-mode= off
- open-basedire = (no value)
- max_input_time = 1000
- max_execution_time = 1000
- upload_max_filesize = 200M
- register_argc_argv = On
- post_max_size = 200M
So, let’s install the requirement. I presume you already have PHP 4.3 or higher, GD, .htaccess, mod_rewrite, Curl, and IonCube loaders ( These are very easy to set up, and if you need steps to install these, please do let me know. ) To install FFMPEG and mention applications, please follow the article- Install FFMPEG on CentOS/Fedora/RHEL : Easy Steps
After completing the steps, please set up the PHP configurations as mentioned. ( type “php -i | grep php.ini” to get the php.ini file location ). If you have other domains in the server, it is not suggested to set the values in the main php.ini. Instead, you can add the values in your domain-specific custom php.ini file.
2) Now, we have met all the requirements, and it’s time to Download VidiScript.
