Scuttle for SME Server

Maintainer

Dungog (Software)

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.

Orginates from Dungog HowTo and some input from the forums.

Installation

This contrib can be found in the Dungog repository.

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

2. If you have already enabled Dungog repo, skip down.

3. The following command will configure the Dungog repository on SME Server. The dungog repository will no longer be updated. All the contribs from this repository have been moved to the smecontribs repository.

DungogMember contribs are still at http://www.dungog.net After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

signal-event yum-modify

4. 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.

5. 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.

Note: signal-event post-upgrade & signal-event reboot is not necessary for Scuttle install

6. Create database structure

/usr/bin/mysql scuttle < /opt/scuttle/tables.sql

7. Copy and rename the config file

cp /opt/scuttle/config.inc.php.example /opt/scuttle/config.inc.php

8. Find scuttle mysql password (DbPassword=) with

config show scuttle

Copy the string, it should be similar to this: 2zvEiYibIewQOsQ07KAtObnh5FcOhUhaq+dtSAdXBjuOBsbSoPt5Bty8PEPfjhfHmL0wejMAmUMO

9. Open config file with text editor Pico (^-sign means ctrl-button)

pico -w /opt/scuttle/config.inc.php

Edit the following lines with these values (special for dbpass):

$dbtype = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '3306';
$dbuser = 'scuttle';
$dbpass = 'paste copied password here';
$dbname = 'scuttle';

Exit Pico, save to file, choose config.inc.php

10. Open http://yourserver/scuttle/ and register a user.

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

11. Firefox plugin

12. Restrict usage with PublicAccess db, (global-pw are default):

config setprop scuttle PublicAccess global-pw

Fore more options: Dungog HowTo Scroll to: "to limit access to the web app."

Check installed version

yum info installed *scuttle*

That will show both packages.

Uninstall

yum remove scuttle

This will also remove smeserver-scuttle.
