Topic: V7 queries

[fitzrik]

Hello there,

firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has put work into sme server and the contribs website. They're both excellent and a joy to use.

I have a couple of queries.

In the IMP email, there used to be an icon to add an email address to the address book. Is this gone? I can't find it but I may just be blind.

I have installed gallery2 which is also brilliant. If anyone needs help I'd be happy to oblige or post.
However when uploading photos it complains of imagemagick not being installed. Yum says it is and the commands such as 'convert' are there. What's wrong?

Is there anyway of deenforcing the 'strong' passwords as I don't really want to change mine

Thanks again. I'm delighted to be aware of this community.

I Currently have a single 300gig hard drive in there.
If I later want to add another and mirror the two is that possible??

Yes, or it will be when 7.0Beta5 comes out. You will need to perform an upgrade from the CD image, which will result in a "degraded" RAID-1 setup - i.e. a mirror with only one half.

I have written a script to make adding the second disk easy at a later stage, and it will appear in /sbin/e-smith in or just after Beta5.

To be clear - you must upgrade from the CD image to do this conversion to one-way RAID. A yum upgrade will not be sufficient.

Hi Richard, I wouldn't mind some help with gallery2. my problem at this stage is with mysql stage of the setup process, did you have any problem here, if you have any tips, I would appreciate them

Thanks Russell

Did you upgrade to 7.0beta? If so, you may have an old version of ImageMagick installed. Try "yum upgrade ImageMagick".

Thanks jan and gordon. I'll try those at some stage

Fixit , what is the problem. I followed instructions. On the web interface I changed username password and database name.

Before this I clicked the question mark for help and it gave me the commands to create the mysql database. I cheated slightly by using ssh to connect to the server and copying/pasting the commands in

Let me know

Richard

Hi Richard, I managed to get it to work, I used phpmyadmin, it was a password issue, all sorted out now. Thanks

You wrote in an earlier post that you would offer help about installing Gallery 2 and ImageMagick.

I've got most of it done using NetPBM, but have got stuck with jhead which has a missing dependency
"Error Output:
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/gallery/netpbm/jhead:
/lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/gallery/netpbm/jhead)
Status: 1 (expected 0)"

I've also tried downloading ImageMagick which fails with multiple dependencies, including the same one as above, and several others.

I don't really understand how to install the missing libraries, and when I looked on the web for suitable rpms was bewildered by the range of options. I guess I'm looking for something that will install the GLIBC_2.3 version of libc.so.6 - an older version is already in /lib/ and also in (I think) /usr/lib/.

Will YUM (or yum) go find it( and the other missing bits) for me if I ask it instead of rpm -UVH to install ImageMagick?

I've still groping my way to understanding Linux, so please be kind if my question is too naive.

I'm running SME Server v6.0.1-1, and have managed (for example) to follow instructions to upgrade MySQL to v 4.0.22, so I get the general idea, but get lost in more technical bits once I leave either the web management interface, or Midnight Commander.

Gallery 2 says it can work with just the bits I have installed of NetPBM, but actually won't make thumbnails of uploaded images, which makes it effectively useless.

Thanks very much if you or anyone else can point me in the right direction to take the final few steps to get Gallery 2 working. I did manage to install Gallery 1.3, and an upgrade to v1.5.1, but have now got stuck halfway between v1.5 (which I've moved) and 2.0, which I've installed but which doesn't work, so I can neither import my old albums, nor remake them from scratch.
