Webshare for SME Server

Maintainer

Darrel May (dmay) at myEZserver (Software)

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Please note that this was written in april 2007, if the software change then this howto may be outdated.

Please do edit if you find errors or have improvements, but make sure that it works!

Good luck /Per
