SME8.0 Contribs QA

Version 8.0 Contrib testing

This document lists Contribs that have had been tested running under SME 8

Contribs should work if they are perl or php based. Some binary application will work as well.

Test guidelines

Considerations_before_installing advises that Contribs for SME 8 have not yet been released, this is to avoid dev workload diagnosing bugs caused by contribs.

Please don't post sme 8 bugs unless you can replicate the bug with the contrib removed or isolated.

	Note:
	If you have suggestions, issues or solutions for a contrib, please post them in bugzilla against the contrib.

Setup

Create a repo named sme7contribs, which points at the SME7 smecontribs repo

db yum_repositories set sme7contribs repository \
GPGCheck yes \
MirrorList http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/mirrorlist/smecontribs-7 \
Name 'SME 7 - contribs' \
Visible no \
status disabled

signal-event yum-modify
yum clean all

	Note:
	now when you will install a package from sme7contribs, you need to use smecontribs to resolve some problems of dependencies...

example :

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-openvpn-s2s

smeserver-shared-folders

Functionality hasn't been tested beyond ability to install

by Jáder: I have installed it as by howto.

Just had to use "signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot " because just "expand-template /etc/fstab" do not worked.

I found an error (will put on bugzilla): when creating a share with name longer than limit (12 as standard), just returns an generic ERROR and do not say the cause.

Other than that, it appears to be working I was able to copy to, read, del files.

Warning: The contrib allows to specify the TFTP server as "Self". This worked well under SME7 but not under SME8. To get this working under SME8, we had to choose the SME server's IP address to achieve the same result as "self" otherwise the clients cannot find/load from the TFTP server.

We have reported this as bug 6542 for the contrib but with this workaround, the contrib is working well under SME8.

Workarounds

Contribs that sort of work, but need improvement

smeserver-vmware

The contrib introduces a dependency that cannot be resolved. This dependency is not necessary for sme8. Download vmware-server 2.02 and obtain a license key (you need this during installation in vmware-config.pl).

yum install xinetd
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm

configure vmware:

vmware-config.pl

and set vmware to autostart and reboot:

ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Watch the console for a correct start of vmware services. Features like maintenance from external networks, vmware configuration db commands described in the contrib vmware do not work. Use

/etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart 

to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .

No warranties, Happy VM-ing!

smeserver-zarafa

Zarafa - Because of PHP 5.2.10 in SME8b5 WIP there is a problem with the mapi.so module, see bugzilla:5789:

Tested with:

- SME8b5 WIP
- zarafa-6.40.0 RC2
- smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-49.el4.sme

User WebSpace

This contribs work followin the steps described here [2]

but without php interpretation. to enable php for users we need to edit the templated istalled with the package:

   /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/90e-smithAccess50userdir

and add the following lines:

   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

in the fragment of code that define "Generic user dir access directive"

after that we expand the modified template and restart the service:

   expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

   sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

i hope that this hint can help unexperienced users, REDTEO
