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 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".
