Topic: Gollem requires ftp turned on

[shell]

just a small note for anyone installing gollem - horde addon, if u don't have ftp access turned on (off by default) gollem will only show a login screen - no place for username or password - just the button "login".

just wanted to put this in a topic that will be able to be found when searching as have spent the last hour trying to find a fix!

i simply ran the default install:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smedev install smeserver-gollem

which installed both the smeserver-gollem and gollem-h3

i am using version 1.0-13 of the smeserver and 1.0.3-1 of the h3

did signal-event post upgrade and reboot.

my sme is 7.1.3

the gollem (file manager) options in horde were available and the file display setting "please select a backend"  has Local FTP server as the only option.

if there is a better howto - or somewhere else were this info could go someone YELL out at me and i'll put it there.    also if i have done something wrong (which often happens!   ) then i'll await correction.
ps the gollem addon is V cool.  about to have a look at the dungog method for changing directly into the home directory on opening gollem.

Hi,
I've tried this but i get a "no match for argument: smeserver-gollem" 

i've also spent nearly an hour searching for the gollem rpm without success.. (wiki, forums,...)
I'm running SME SERVER 7.2 and i'm a newbie! Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance

It usually takes about 3 hours for success around here... 

I don't use gollem, but here's how I would find it (a quick and nasty method).

First, repeat the command with all repos enabled..

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=* install smeserver-gollem
The results that come back tell you that it lives in the smecontribs repo.

Select No and then enable the smecontribs repo (the standard repos are already enabled).

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-gollem
and away you go. Select Yes this time.

There are more 'technically' correct ways to use yum to find packages. Try man yum and read up on it.

Check the wiki and the bug tracker. It's posted somewhere that contribs(that are stable) were moving from smedev to smecontribs.

You can also browse the repos to find files...

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/

(hmm.. I just looked. What happened to the pretty repo data layout?)

EDIT.

Found the pretty layout... you have to go into the repodata folder.

eg.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7.3/smecontribs/i386/repodata/

You would be saver if you instructed them to use the yum search command instead of relying on them choosing no when prompted to install.

Hi,

I've tried:
yum --enablerepo=* install smeserver-gollem
and the result was:
"No match for argument: smeserver-gollem"
"Nothing to do"

However, when i do:
yum --enablerepo=* install gollem
the result was "gollem-h3" is under the Extras repo.
I've installed gollem-h3 but it leads nowhere!..

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

SME attemps to use standard packages when possible. These standard packages know nothing of SME so to integrate them you need an additional package, usually smeserver-<name of program>.

It's very likely you don't have the smecontribs repo setup as your using SME 7.2.

I'm not sure 100% in what package the repo's live in but give the following a try...

Code: [Select]

yum update smeserver-yum
then repeat the above.

If you decide to update fully to 7.3, then read the wiki/forum as I think there were a few steps to do before hand.
