Version 8.0 Contrib testing

This document lists Contribs that have had been tested running under SME 8

Contribs should work if they are perl or php based. Some binary application will work as well.

Test guidelines

Considerations_before_installing advises that Contribs for SME 8 have not yet been released, this is to avoid dev workload diagnosing bugs caused by contribs.

Please don't post sme 8 bugs unless you can replicate the bug with the contrib removed or isolated.


Important.png Note:
If you have suggestions, issues or solutions for a contrib, please post them in bugzilla

against the contrib.


Setup

During the transition from SME7 to SME8, contrib packages will be migrated to the SME8 contrib repository. If the contrib is not yet in the SME8 Contrib repository and an entry in this Q&A suggests it will install properly then you will need to install the contrib from the SME7 repository.

Check to see if you already have the sme7contribs repository set up using the command: 

db yum_repositories show sme7contribs

If it returns nothing then you will need to create a repo named sme7contribs, which points to the SME7 smecontribs repo 

db yum_repositories set sme7contribs repository \
GPGCheck yes \
MirrorList http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/mirrorlist/smecontribs-7 \
Name 'SME 7 - contribs' \
Visible no \
status disabled

signal-event yum-modify
yum clean all


Important.png Note:
now when you will install a package from sme7contribs, you need to use smecontribs to resolve some problems of dependencies...


The following shows an example of how to install a contrib from the SME7 repo: 

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-openvpn-s2s

Functionality hasn't been tested beyond ability to install

by Jáder: I have installed it as by howto.

Just had to use "signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot " because just "expand-template /etc/fstab" do not worked.

I found an error (will put on bugzilla): when creating a share with name longer than limit (12 as standard), just returns an generic ERROR and do not say the cause.

Other than that, it appears to be working I was able to copy to, read, del files.

Warning: The contrib allows to specify the TFTP server as "Self". This worked well under SME7 but not under SME8. To get this working under SME8, we had to choose the SME server's IP address to achieve the same result as "self" otherwise the clients cannot find/load from the TFTP server.

We have reported this as bug 6542 for the contrib but with this workaround, the contrib is working well under SME8.

- smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-49.el4.sme

User WebSpace

This contribs work followin the steps described here [3]

but without php interpretation. to enable php for users we need to edit the templated istalled with the package: 

   /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/90e-smithAccess50userdir

and add the following lines: 

   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

in the fragment of code that define "Generic user dir access directive"

after that we expand the modified template and restart the service: 

   expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

   sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

i hope that this hint can help unexperienced users, REDTEO

smeserver-roundcube

Bugzilla:6843

Works for me as follows:

  • install from sme7contribs:
yum enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-roundcube
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

At this point, attempting to open roundcube generates the following error in /var/log/messages: 

 httpd: PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare quoted_printable_encode() in /opt/roundcube/program/include/rcube_imap.inc on line 2656
  • download the latest sources from sourceforge (0.7.1 as of this writing):

- browse to http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundcubemail/ - click the download button - right-click the 'direct link' url in the download page header, and select 'copy link location' - at a shell prompt on the sme server: 

wget <paste link location>
  • extract the downloaded source (replace "roundcubemail-0.7.1.tar.gz" with the actual filename downloaded in step 2):
tar zxvf roundcubemail-0.7.1.tar.gz
  • copy extracted roundcube code on top of the code that was installed by the rpm:
'cp' -rf roundcubemail-0.7.1/* /opt/roundcube
  • Drop and re-create all roundcube tables from mysql (If you're updating an existin roundcube installation you'll need to manually figure out which of the commands in /opt/roundcube/SQL/mysql.update.sql)
mysqldump --add-drop-table --no-data roundcube |grep ^DROP |mysql roundcube
cd /opt/roundcube
mysql roundcube < SQL/mysql.initial.sql

Note: drop all tables using mysqldump courtesy of http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/comment/7075

Roundcube now opens at http://<my.smeserver.tld>/roundcube

  • Configuration changes (for each user):
    • login and select "Settings" from the top right
    • Folders (do this first)
      • Subscribe to the imap folders you want to access in roundcube. Only subscribed folders are available for selection as 'special folders' in the next step.
    • Preferences
      • Select 'special folders' and set the values you want to use for 'Drafts', 'Sent', 'Junk' and 'Trash'
    • 'Identities'

(manually enable this repo so your sme8 server can access it)

smeserver-wordpress

Install wordpress contrib from the SME7 repo: 

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs install wordpress smeserver-wordpress

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot


Initial Setup 

To setup wordpress start your browser with the URL http://www.yourmaindomain/wordpress and complete the forms. 
To make basic setup just enter a blog name and an administrator email address then click Setup. 
On the next screen you will be presented with the admin user name and a randomly generated admin password. Record these somewhere safe now! 
Then click the Log in button, and enter your admin username (ie admin) and password (the ones just displayed on the previous screen). 
The initial setup is done in the Settings link at the top right corner of the blog screen. 
Configure as required, and save your changes before exiting.

Optional: If you want to change the domain URL that wordpress will be accessed with, apply any changes to the URL property before setting up wordpress, refer to options below, default is wordpress.


Upgrade Wordpress:

Download the 3.4.2 tar file from wordpress.org.

Put the tar file in /opt, extract it and adjust ownership if necessary. 

tar xvf wordpress-3.4.2.tar

chown -R root:root wordpress

Go to http://www.yourdomain/wordpress/wp-admin and choose yes to update the Wordpress database.

Now you'll be able to download themes and extract them in your /opt/wordpress/wp-content/themes directory and apply them in wp-admin.


Usage:

Normal access by bloggers -> www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/

Admin or backend user access -> www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-login.php


Options:

*****THIS SECTION MAY NEED REVISION*****

  • You can fine tune access to wordpress with DB settings:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_RPM#New_DB_settings

  • Local Settings:

The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment, eg: 

nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/05local

check which setting you want to change with: 

cat /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php

then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old: 

expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config.php

If you think your setting should be the default, raise a bug.


Recommended Plugin (Akismet install):

Spam filtering is a popular plugin and recommended to prevent excessive spam being added to your wordpress blogsite. To configure the Akismet plugin offered by Wordpress do the following: 

Login as admin. 
Click on the Plugins link at top right of page. 
The Plugin Management page will appear, and a list of Inactive Plugins is shown. 
Check the tick box next to Akismet and then click on Activate 
To complete the process you will need to enter your Wordpress.com API key 
Click on the "enter your WordPress.com API key" link at the top of the page. 
If you do not already have a key, then click on the (Get your key) link. 
This will take you to the wordpress.com site. You need to create a new user account (if you don't already have one). 
Click the Signup link and enter required details. Select the option to create "Just a username please" and do not create a blog site at wordpress.com. 
You will receive a email confirmation to activate your account. 
After confirming your account creation, you will receive another email advising your new account details, and giving you the API key details. 
Return to the admin page of your new wordpress blog site and click on the Plugins link. 
Select Akismet configuration and enter your API key details. 
If preferred, tick the check box next to "Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month" 
Click the Update options button, and you should then see a confirmation notice that your key has been verified. 
Configure other Akismet settings as required. 
Save your changes, exit as admin user, and start using your blogsite.


Un-installation of Wordpress and removal of MySQL database:

1. To remove the package issue the following command on the SME Server shell:
