Topic: [Announce] Mambo-4.5.2-1.noarch.rpm for SME

[gerald001]

to the community :

I just realized that there is a new version of Mambo out there so I prepared the Mambo-4.5.2 with the additional patch as an rpm for the SME Server.

Go to  http://schwarzecker.homelinux.net/index.php
and in the download section
in the Category Mambo
you will find the rpm package together with the source package.

Should work on SME 6.01 as well on SME 6.5RC1

additional addons,templates and modules may be found at the mambofourge site.

have a nice day and enjoy life

Hi Gerald,
Great work, I've just finished setting it up now. Looks good. However your RPM installs everything in
/home/e-smith/files/primary
instead of
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary
on my 6.0.1 server. So I had to manually move all the files over. Also I have a mysql root password set so the database installation failed until I disabled the password. Maybe the rpm could prompt for a mysql root password? Last thing - I had to manually create the configuration.php file in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html - a new user would be at a loss to know where to put this file. Maybe you could create this file and leave it blank in your rpm? I also had to issue the commands
#/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop Primary PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/:/tmp
#/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify Primary
because /tmp wasn't writeable
Just some observations, once again thanks for the great work. You deserve a for that.
Regards Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,
thanks a lot for your input.
I fixed those 2 issues :
- primary instead of ibays/Primary
and
made the tmp writeable with your suggestions.

The only thing I did not get logically was the matter with password and ...
Could you explain to me a little bit more in detail ?
The configuration.php is generated whilst the first four steps when you finish the Mambo setup.
The values to put there are displayed at the end of the installation of the rpm.

 "go to http://your_e-smith-server/index.php to finish installation"                                                                                                
 "at step 1 use the following entries"                                                                                                                              
 "Host Name                    : localhost"                                                                                                                                  
 "MYSQL User Name         : www"                                                                                                                                        
 "MySQL Password            : mambo"                                                                                                                                      
 "MySQL Database Name  : Mambo"                                                                                                                                      
 "MySQL Table Prefix        : mos_"
--------snap--------

as I used the following commands to setup a database in the %post section of the spec file of the rpm package.

---------snip----
mysqladmin -u root create Mambo                                                                                                                                          
mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Mambo.*   TO www@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mambo'"                                                                              
mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges    
------snap--------

And/Or dou you have any other good suggestions ? I would appreciate.
