Maintainer

Darrel May (Contrib)

Description

  • Webshare is an addon for SME Server that provides secure web accessible file and directory storage.
  • Create and set permissions for each share via Server-manager GUI.
  • Can handle many filetypes in the webbrowser.


Step-by-step HowTo for installation of Webshare on a fresh SMEserver 7.x.

Check latest releases at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/

Installation

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

2. Install smeserver-webshare from the smecontribs repo (which will also install the dependency perl-Apache-Htpasswd)

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-webshare

3. Instructions at the end of previous installation advises the following commands:
signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot
but you can skip that (not necessary) and move on.

4. In a web browser login to server-manager as admin.
Under Collaboration there should be a new line named "Webshare". Configure the webshare name, users and passwords.

5. Access the newly created webshare using https://www.yourdomain.com/webshare/websharename Upload and download files as required.


Check installed version

yum info installed smeserver-webshare
yum info installed perl-Apache-Htpasswd

Uninstall

yum remove smeserver-webshare
yum remove perl-Apache-Htpasswd


Adjusting upload file size

Default php settings in sme server will severely limit the file upload size.

These can be adjusted by db commands, see http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_Server:Documentation:Technical_Manual:Booklet#Php

To see the default settings do

config show php

The following commands will set a 50Mb file upload size.

As this includes system overheads, you should specify a value slightly larger than the maximum file size you wish to upload.

db configuration setprop php MaxExecutionTime 3600
db configuration setprop php MemoryLimit 50M
db configuration setprop php PostMaxSize 50M
db configuration setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 50M
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
