Talk:Metadot

-(, it seems that putting in the template for the DAG repository puts this page also in the Yum_Repository category which is not my intention, will try to find a workaround - Cactus 02:56, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

After quickly reviewing your contribution I would suggest you to rewrite your howto as not to install in an ibay as this is not prefferred behaviour, use /opt or something like that for beter customizability. - Cactus 02:58, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

we should have a template inserted into any howto that doesn't install into /opt, asking for the howto be modified. Snoble 23:20, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Fixed the problem with unwanted inclusion of the template by using the <noincludes></noincludes> keywords around the category as described in the Help:Category section of the wikimedia site. - Cactus 03:36, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

I have tried many attempts to put Metadot into the opt/ without success, I have found it to be easier to put Metadot into an ibay.

I wouldn't use -y, users should be allowed to see what will happen, and not proceed

Template

Hi fixit. In the point "modify 50DirectoryIndex00 to include index.pl" not modify template. Instead copy this template to customs-template dir, and make the necesary changes under customs-template files. --PicsOne 14:12, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

===========

If you want to modify the original templates, you must copy to the templates-custom dir:

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/50DirectoryIndex00 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

then make the necesary changes there:

cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
pico 50DirectoryIndex00

To run under /opt dir I think this can run:

#Metadot 

Alias /metadot /opt/metadot
Alias /images/ /opt/metadot/html/images/
Alias /js/ /opt/metadot/html/js/

Those option above I have tried and they don't work. Don't you need something like <VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80> and all that

ServerName mydomain.com

ServerAlias www.mydomain.com

DocumentRoot /opt/metadot/

I seem to have a lot of trouble installing Metadot into the opt/, I have managed to do that at one stage with Virtual domains though, but you need the primary ibay to host the main metadot portal and the Virtual domains in the opt/.

I have attempted many different ways and I have found that the ibay option works best, if I could find a method for the opt/ I would use that for sure.

I make a minor modification in your howto about expand template. I go to install under /opt dir and tell you the results. --PicsOne 12:21, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
