Help PLEASE

Hi, I have a serious issue, I have a hosting package at cirtex and I have phpmotion and an smf forum installed. The problem is my site is so popular that the bandwidth they offer (1500 gb a month) and disk space (30bg total) is not even close to enough. I dont have the money to pay for any really serious professional hosting from them because I get no money from the site and pay all fees out of pocket. Dreamhost on the other hand I have an account with 687gb disk space and 8tb of bandwidth which is perfect for me.

So I have tried to setup PHPmotion on dreamhost on one of my other domains without success. I however have setup ClipBucket. The site is fully functional except that the videos I upload are in a constant state of processing.


All I have done is install clipbucket on my domain with all the instructions that comes with it (MySQL changes, PHP coding in files for recognising hostname/db name, ets and chmodding all the appropriate files) I think the problem might be the ffmpeg issue. Clipbucket says that it offers a static option if I dont know the location of the dynamic encoders and I assumed that means I didnt need to install anything on my server, I am starting to think that is not the case and I have no clue how to install ffmpeg, lame, etc

I dont suppose anyone out of kindness would be willing to help me?

You can find the ffmpeg path by typing which ffmpeg in shell.

On my shared server the path is /usr/bin/ffmpeg

I might tryout ClipBucket later today. If all goes well I'll drop back.


For phpmotion I believe you'll need to install a customised ffmpeg along with a sizeable chunk of dependencies. The process is very do-able on a shared server at DreamHost, but be forewarned it can be quite a beast of a thing to get right. You'll need to be prepared to sink a few hours into it, but perhaps ClipBucket will suffice.
