Topic: Moin Wiki

[lewinskys]

I have my SME server up and running. I am able to access it through the web page on a PC.
I am looking to install a WIKI app on it. I am following the how-to on this site. But I am not understanding something. (Being a newbie). I downloaded the Moin RPM onto the PC. But Where? How? Do I put it on the SME Server to intall it with the RPM command? I tried to login as Root, but it can't find the file. I used the SMB on the PC to connect to see the shares, and put it in different directories. But no luck.
I guess the basic question is, What is the process to download RPMs and install them on the SME Server?

I am assuming you are using a windows desktop.

The simplest way to gat an rpm to the server is to install winscp http://winscp.net/eng/index.php. This will allow you to open a session between your desktop and server as root and do all sorts of things. least of which is transfer files.

Just drop the rpm you wish to install into the root directory log in as root in an ssh session and issue rpm -Uvh nameofrpm.rpm and it should install.

To list the files in the directory at the root prompt type ls to get more info use ls -la.

All you would have had to do to install the rpm that you have dropped into an ibay is to go to the folder you dropped the rpm into.

So for instance if you dropped the rpm into admins home folder at the root prompt you would need to issue.

cd /home/e-smith/files/users/admin/home

You will then be in admins home directory an ls will list the files available and you can then install the rpm.

An alternative to doing this would be to issue

rpm -Uvh /home/e-smith/files/users/admin/home/nameofrpm.rpm

Hope this helps.
