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 silly HowTo for installation of Webshare on a fresh SMEserver 7.1.3.
It reflects the experiences I've had during install and are probably not always applicable.
It's intended for Linux-newbies.
Check latest releases at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/
Replace filenames if you use other versions.
I don't use smedev for this install as advised by dmay
Installation
1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.
2. Download perl-Apache-Htpasswd (needed by package smeserver-webshare)
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/perl-Apache-Htpasswd-1.5.9-1.1.el3.rf.noarch.rpm
3. Install perl-Apache-Htpasswd
yum localinstall perl-Apache-Htpasswd-1.5.9-1.1.el3.rf.noarch.rpm
You will get a y/N-question, answer y if it looks fine.
Instructions at the end of previous installation advices the following commands:
"signal-event post-upgrade" and "signal-event reboot"
But you can ignore that and move on
4. Download smeserver-webshare
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/smeserver-webshare-1.0.0-8dmay.noarch.rpm
5. Install smeserver-webshare
yum localinstall smeserver-webshare-1.0.0-8dmay.noarch.rpm
You will get a y/N-question, answer y if it looks fine.
6. Instructions at the end of previous installation advices the following commands:
signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot
but you can skip that (not necessary) and move on.
7. Open your webbrowser and go to the server-manager.
Under Collaboration there should be a new line named "Webshare".
Additional information
Announcement: SME Server 7.x Contribs
If you connect to the SMEserver console by Putty ssh-client (or similar) you can copy and paste the commands (very convenient).
Please note that this was written in april 2007, if the software change then this howto may be outdated.
