Topic: User login and pop/imap settings help

ok, i am not new to linux, however, i am new to linux console cmds, my question is simply this, i wish to install an rpm package off of a cd.

the package: smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
Avalable At: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//dmay/smeserver/7.x/smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm

Cd drive is on the same PATA(IDE) channel as the HDD, the cd drive is the slave,  and they are on the primary PATA interface.

If it is to strenuouse, or just plain stupid to install of of cd, i am not oposed to bringing it in off the network (copying it from my desktop to a local folder) and installing from there, but, like i said, i am verry new to the cmd line of linux, and will need, (my apologies and thanks in advance,) a compleat walkthrough, line by line..

If you wanted to download from distro.ibiblio then use "wget"

Using putty in windows http://www.putty.nl/latest/x86/putty-0.58-installer.exe
Using linux terminal ssh root@servername.domain
Or login to your server at a teminal
You are now in roots directory
Copy and paste these commands if you are logged in remotely else print this page out and issue these command at a terminal

Code: [Select]

mkdir phpmyadmin
This will make a new directory

Code: [Select]

cd phpmyadmin/
this command changes you into the new directory

Code: [Select]

wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//dmay/smeserver/7.x/smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
downloads the file you want

Code: [Select]

ls
output should be smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
will install the rmp you are trying to install

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
after update issue this command


Or

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
this will install the rpm in that directory using a rpm installation command

to login goto https://yourservername/phpmyadmin

username is admin

password is your roots password

Thank you sooooooo much for your help!   i had already figured out how to navigate (some what, some dos cmds work ) but i was definutly lost on the download and install part, many thanks

[WA-Naemr]

er, bit of a snag


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.


this happens when both trying to use the domain and the local ip address....


there is no visable ibay for phpmyadmin and when i try to add one, it tells me one exists

[cjensen]

login as you would for server-manager, as 'admin'

[WA-Naemr]

[WA-Naemr]

YES! Thank you verry much! now all i need is a resolution to the privilages issue....


Also, is there any way, to make it where i can start a username/ibayname with a captal letter or number?


and when using third party pop3/imap programs (outlook, outlook express, mozilla thunderbird) is there any way to set the server, so i can use standard imap/pop3 instead of secure imaps/pop3s ?


Thanks

I must be becoming a pest....

Is there any way to make the user password changer a public site?

so that clients on the outside (WAN) can use the user-password page to change there passwords?

As it stands right now, they all get the "forbiden" msg.
