Topic: Portal for SME 6.0

[micronator]

I am looking for a portal to install on my SME 6.0
I looked at METADOT. Looks very nice.
I tried it first on an RH7.3 because it will be more difficult on SME for the configuration.
I guess my 7.3 is a little bit confused since it is quite old and I tried lot of things on it.
So after quite a few hours, it still didn't work.
I am sure I am not the first one to want a portal on SME.
I look through search but still not enough.
If somebody have an idea it will be appcreciated.

Thank in advance.

I'm looking at Twiggi - somewhere in these forums I've seen a recipe for installing it -- in the past I've also looked at phpwebsite and phpnuke -- anyone want to comment on the relative merits? I once did install metadot anfd liked it, but never put it in production ( not on SME either)

HI,
I have been using Twiggi for about 12 months, very good and easy to install. There is a contrib on this site by Darrell May, you can find it under his contribs in downloads. Search these forums for more help.
Regards,
Del

Del,

I have been looking at D. May's website and all over for the cookbook for twiggi -- I want to make it available for all users -- do I install in an ibay? what are the steps?

I've tested PostNuke on 6 final and can tell you it works fine. There has been some performance concerns raised and I don't think they were resolved.

In order to get METADOT work

1 - install mod_perl contrib
2 - in /etc/httpd

change
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

to
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Don't forget to modify your templates to make sure you have the settings perminent...

Good luck.

Have you considered Xoops? This site is done with Xoops, and I assume the site his hosted on a SME server? I have set up a few Xoops sites (not on SME though) and it is excepionally easy to install and use.

Hi Van,
I just installed it and it was available for all users by default, yourdomain.com/twiggi
Good Luck,

Thanks for all your help on these forums.  I'd really like to check out METADOT but need more instructions than the above hint.

[ergozd]

I'll try to put together a HowTo. Stay tuned.

[ergozd]

Well, I put together a HowTo for Metadot...

There might be some "bugs" so use it at your own risk.

Good luck...

Good Evening,

OK I'm going nutzoid. I've tried to follow the how-to and have had limited to no success. I downloaded all the files listed in the how-to plus the latest metadot v6.3.2. I've installed the phpmyadmin contrib with success even though I can't access the dadblame https://192.x.x.x/phpmyadmin page. I don't understand why this is the case. I've installed SME Server Custom ISO three times using a fresh clean "wipe-it-out" install. I've used the phpmyadmin contrib in the past with no problems out of the box. More than likely, I'll do another fresh clean "wipe-it-out" install again to hopefully recoup.

When reading the how-to, it seems that I'm going forward, backing up, then forward again. I don't have any errors when installing the perl rpms. I don't have any errors when installing any contribs needed.

The errors I have are in relation to the phpmyadmin as well as accessing metadot via the browser. I'm getting your not authorized message when accessing http://192.x.x.x/metadot.

Any ideas on the command lines that would replace the screen shots of phpmyadmin? I don't understand the language #1 and #2, I can't access phpmyadmin anyways.

ANY HELP OR IDEAS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!! I like the looks of the metadot project and would like to implement it on a production server to take care of my web server front end.

I'm open to xoops but I like the looks of metadot better at this point.
