Description

Scuttle is a web-based social bookmarks manager that enables you to:

• Store all your favourite links in one place, accessible from anywhere.
• Share your bookmarks with everyone, with friends or just keep them private.
• Tag your bookmarks with as many labels, instead of wrestling with folders.

Step-by-step silly HowTo for installation of Scuttle on a fresh SMEserver 7.1.3.

Orginates from Dungog HowTo and some input from the forums.

It reflects the experiences I've had during install and are probably not always applicable.

It's intended for Linux-newbies like myself, experienced users are probably better off using the original.

Installation

This contrib can be found in the Dungog repository.

1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.

2. If you already enabled Dungog repo, skip down to 6, if your'e unsure, go to 5.

3. Add dungog repository to your yum-repositories database, write/paste all code:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set dungog repository \
Name 'SME Server 7 - dungog' \
BaseURL 'http://sme.dungog.net/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/dungog/' \
EnableGroups yes \
GPGCheck no \
Visible yes \
status disabled

4. Do this for the changes to take effect:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/yum.conf

5. Check correct input with
db yum_repositories show dungog
It should contain the lines in step 3. If you get nothing in return, go back to 3.

6. Download and install scuttle and smeserver-scuttle
yum install --enablerepo=dungog smeserver-scuttle
I don't install this from smedev because it may contain an older version.
You will get a y/n-question, answer y if it looks fine.

$dbpass = 'paste copied password here';
$dbname = 'scuttle';
Exit Pico, save to file, choose config.inc.php

Step 13-14 are optional, not necessary for Scuttle to function.
