- 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. Will not install on Koozali SME Server 9.1.
Check latest releases at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/
Installation SME8
1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.
2. Install smeserver-webshare from the smecontribs repo (which also installs the dependency perl-Apache-Htpasswd & perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5)
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.
Installation SME9
Update pending. Being moved to smecontribs for Koozali SME 9.
1. Login as root to the console.
2. This contrib currently resides in the sme8contribs repository. See https://wiki.contribs.org/SME9.0_Contribs_QA#Setup for instructions on enabling it. Dependencies require the enabling of the epel repository as well https://wiki.contribs.org/Epel#tab=For_SME_9_x.
3. Install with
yum --enablerepo=sme8contribs,smecontribs,epel install smeserver-webshare
4. Then
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
5. Go to server-manager panel and setup webshares.
6. Access webshare using
https://your-domain.tld/webshare/nameofshare
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
Using with ibays & SME users
From this Italian forum post http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46399.msg227523.html#msg227523
are instructions re how to use webshare with an ibay and SME users, so the files/dirs are available also via samba. This allows an ibay to be accessed by the webshare frontend it does not link the standard webshare to the ibay webshare.
Create the custom template and fragment
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf nano 86WebSharealias
Contents of 86WebSharealias
{ my $db = esmith::ConfigDB->open_ro("WebShare") or return "# webshare disabled\n"; my @webshare = $db->get_all_by_prop( type => 'WebShare' ); foreach $webshare (@webshare) { #name my $key = $webshare->key; #use ibay? my $useibay = $webshare->prop('UseIbay') || "no"; #use sme users? my $smeusers = $webshare->prop('SmeUsers') || "no"; $OUT .= "# webshare\/$key\n"; if ( "$useibay" eq "no" ) { $OUT .= "Alias \/webshare\/$key \/opt\/webshare\/$key\n"; $OUT .= "<Directory \/opt\/webshare\/$key>\n"; } else { $OUT .= "Alias \/webshare\/$key \/home\/e-smith\/files\/ibays\/$key\/html\n"; $OUT .= "<Directory \/home\/e-smith\/files\/ibays\/$key\/html>\n"; } { use esmith::util; my $release = esmith::util::determineRelease(); if ( "$release" ge "7.0" ) { $OUT .= " SSLRequireSSL\n"; } else { $OUT .= " RequireSSL on\n"; } } $OUT .= " Options +Indexes\n"; $OUT .= " AllowOverride None\n"; $OUT .= " order deny,allow\n"; $OUT .= " deny from all\n"; $OUT .= " allow from all\n"; $OUT .= " AuthName \"Restricted $key access only\"\n"; $OUT .= " AuthType Basic\n"; if ( "$smeusers" eq "no" ) { $OUT .= " AuthUserFile \/home\/e-smith\/db\/webshare\/htpasswd.$key\n"; } else { $OUT .= " AuthExternal pwauth\n"; } $OUT .= " Require valid-user\n"; $OUT .= " AddType application\/x-httpd-php \.php \.php3\n"; $OUT .= " php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on\n"; $OUT .= " php_flag track_vars on\n"; $OUT .= "<\/Directory>\n"; $OUT .= "\n"; } }
Create an ibay in server manager with the name ibaywebsharename, with no password and enable "Execution of dynamic content".
Configure the db setting, expand template & restart service
db WebShare setprop ibaywebsharename UseIbay yes SmeUsers yes expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf service httpd-e-smith restart
Copy files from original webshare in /opt to ibay
cd /opt/webshare/ibaywebsharename cp -a ./* /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibaywebsharename/html/ cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibaywebsharename/html rm index.html
Now Create a link in the /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibaywebsharename/html dir
mv ./files ./files.old ln -s ../files
Access the ibay webshare via web browser with this URL (note to use https:)
https://yourdomain.com/ibaywebsharename
Access the ibay webshare files locally via samba network share
\\servername\ibaywebsharename\files
Additional information
to be documented more but reading configuration file you can create a special webshare with user that have right on other webspaces. It seems that to do so you have to create
db WebShare set MultiAccess MultiAccess WebShareName YOURNAME Webshares SHARE2,SHARE3,SHARE5 Users user1:pass1,user2:pass2
