[http://www.epiware.com/support.php Epiware] is an open source document management software (DMS )that includes all the tools an organization needs to safely capture, manage, store, and share documents over the Internet. It is a web based system written in PHP and uses MYSQL as the backend.

If I can do it, anybody can.

{{Note box|The standard open source download includes instructions for a plain-vanilla Linux install, but the unique nature of SME Server requires a couple of simple variations. It's pretty easy; the key is to put the PHP code in the '''''HTML''''' folder, and the program storage in the '''''Files''''' folder of the same dedicated Ibay. This gets round the restriction built into SME which prevents the httpd process owner from writing into the protected area of the system - The standard ''Install'' script supplied in the program download assumes that this writing permission is available.}}

==Installation==

First use the SME Server Manager to create an ibay called 'epiware' with the kind of access you want and allow it to run CGI etc. For my trial I just chose to make it accessible on the local network with no password, but you could make it face the internet and protect it with a password - make it really strong.

{{Note box|If you select Password Required when creating an i-bay, users who connect to it will be prompted to supply that particular i-bay's username and password before the code contained in the i-bay will run. The user name is always the name of the i-bay and the password is whatever the administrator assigns to that i-bay.}}

Now go to a workstation and type '''http://www.yourserver.com/epiware''' into the browser and you should get your first login prompt - the first time you do this, you need to enter a bunch of stuff about yourself and give a username and password. After that you'll only be asked for username and password.
