Jeremie,
Thanks for the bug report.
You're welcome.
Although Ampache is capable on running on just about any webserver,
Ampache's packaging does not support the installation on nginx. The
packaging only supports the installation on Apache2, Lighttpd and
Mythbuntu. I consider installation on any other webserver a custom
install.
I am not asking for a nginx support, I just think that the installation
should not fail if the user is using another web server than apache2.
As for now, apache2 (and lighttpd) is only a recommendation. Ampache
does not depends on apache2, the package should then respect this.
However with the upcoming Apache2.4 transition Ampache's packaging
will only support Apache2. I am contemplating splitting the package
into ampache-common and ampache-apache.
Ampache-common would be for users such as yourself which want to use
Ampache on webservers which are not supported in the packaging. This
will also allow users to setup ampache in VM's, LXC's or what ever
where the installation of a webserver in not desired.
Splitting the package will also allow motivated community members to
develop there own packages for their favorite webserver ie:
ampache-nginx or ampache-monkey or .....
Trying to support multiple webservers has IMHO made the maintainer
scripts overly complicated and splitting the package would
significantly simplify the maintainer scripts.
I think there should not be any web servers support. The user should be
able to install ampache, whatever he's webserver is. No ampache-apache2,
no ampache-nginx... Only ampache. The very best could be some example
configuration files (see redmine package, containing configuration files
for lighttpd, apache2, nginx... in /usr/share/redmine/example/). Then
the user can use it, or write his own configuration file.
I sincerely hope you won't choose to only package ampache with apache2,
which would be a big pain for non apache2 users.
