Topic: Documents Archiving

[Samer]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a free documents archiving software that could be used with SME?

Thanks,

[BlueSky]

try this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/owl

I'm still trying to get it to work on SME, but it seems very promising.

How about this one - Darrell Done this specifically for SME not sure if work on SME 6

OWL has far more options. You can set permissions, track updates, send subject files by email to users, and much more.

Blueskay - I'm working on this as well.  Found a bug in the newest version that would't let me even run the thing - beat my past that one (they missed a ';') and now things look good except my files won't up/download to the database.  

All the remarks, comments, security is working but the darn files aren't being transferred.

let me know how you are doing and if you have any insights into this.

For now, I had to put OWL on a separate machine running RedHat 9.0. I tried everything on SME but still I cannot upload my files. I am sure this is a SME specific issue, but I still did not figure it out. I will let you know if I ever find the solution.

I have owl working under e-smith now

this is e-smith version 6 with the newest version of owl.

I am storing as file and not to the database (I had hoped to get it storing to the database but on hind sight, this will be better if I want to use rsynch for backing up changed/newer files etc).

the details to be aware of

I have created an ibay I call services

inside of this I have a number of webbased applications including owl

inside of services, I have the owl folder
on the same level as owl, I have a folder with the name:  Documents
(case sensitive)

ie
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/services/html/owl
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/services/html/Documents

the Documents folder is owned by the group that has access to the Services ibay

the relevant owl.php values are below

Also, be aware, I did find one error in the php.conf file.  There was a line I needed that wasn't properly terminated with a semi colon.

Hope this helps you.

If you have any problems, give me a shout.  

my emali address can be found at: http://allt.webhop.net

It is displayed as an image so the spammers can't harvest it and will be found at the bottom of the left hand frame.

==========================================

$default->owl_fs_root      = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/services/html/owl";
$default->owl_LangDir      = $default->owl_fs_root . "/locale";

$default->owl_FileDir           =  "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/services/html";


$default->owl_use_fs            = true;

I will give it a try on a fresh SME installation because I have already formatted my test server. I will let you know of any comments.

Thanks,

I'm having the same issue with uploads on OWL.  Can you tell what you changed in php.conf and where to find php.cong. (Sorry I'm windoz guy making the switch)  It looks like I have all working except the uploads.  I'm having an upload problem with Yappa-ng as well so maybe this will fix both.

Thanks,
Rick
