Please Could you tell me what Document Management System you Recommend. I have a Client that has 30 Users that need to share Documents but with Restrictions (Passwords/User Rights) etc. The User need to Upload and Download Slected File(s) but I need the User to aslo Know what the Details of the File(s)s are that they want to Download eg. File Deatils etc.

Thanks

hello,

www.opendocman.com

I set this up on two boxes for our Agency. Entering over 250 pdf, jpg a day. Pretty Robust, and the authors are quick to respond with assistance.

This scales pretty well if you need the capacity, and can manage groups or users to a very reasonable level.

We use knowledge tree here as well ... and we use it on the SME server

We have thousands of documents uploaded on it and it hasn't missed a beat.

below is the link for knowledge tree.

Please do not hijack threads. Next time please open a new one, with a proper subject. This way it will yield probably more useful replies as this thread has a different topic...

The installation instructions in the README from the DOCS folder of the package seems pretty clear to me...

Bud is not hijacking any thread! This is his thread about document management!
The installation instructions on the README is for SME6, and it's not a complete one, there are security measures and components that can be added to make OWL work as it should.
I'll be posting instructions on wiki.

Thanks,

I have to disagree. I know it is a topic he started, but as his topic is more specific than the topic he first opened, he might IMHO be better of opening a new more specific topic.

I meant the readme in the package you can ]download form the OWL website itself. It seems pretty clear and self installing as far as the configuration is concerned:

--------------------------------
|     Fresh Install - MySQL    |
--------------------------------
1. Move the intranet folder to where it is going to live
        'mv intranet /path/to/your/html/directory/'

2. Create a database.
        'mysqladmin -p create intranet'

3. Enter the info into the database.
        'mysql -p intranet < DOCS/sql/mysql-tables.sql'

   NOTE: For those of you that do not have shell access, you can use
         admin/tools/ctable.php to create the tables from the web
    change the script to reflect your host, username and password.

4. Edit owl.php in /config/
        -> change database type to mysql
        -> change any other things you may need.

5. Edit owl.php in /config/
   -> change database user, host, and password

6. Check permissions on Documents folder
        -> The "/Documents" folder MUST be able to be written to by your web server.
           If your web server is running as user "nobody" and group "nobody" (apache default)
           then cd to the files directory and type:

         *nix: 'chown -R nobody.nobody Documents'
         Windows: Check the permissions and security tabs

7. Login to your Intranet.
        -> in a web browser goto http://<yourhost>/intranet/
        -> default user is "admin" with password "admin"

Thanks for all the Info Guys. Really Appreciated.

I am Looking to Install Opendocman and need some assistance in installing it. There does not seem to be an .rpm for it so any Help will be Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks again Guys for taking your time and effort.

Bud,

The last time I installed this from scratch was about 3 years ago. You can try to install it to /opt, but if you are not hosting this to the outside world, you could just throw it in an Ibay.

The OpenDocMan website is rendering a bit strangely at the moment. All of the main content is found at the bottom of the screen, so scroll to the bottom (lots of empty space). I found the latest stable release here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69505&package_id=68461&release_id=490649

Basic install instructions can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14418&group_id=69505

Good luck!

Can anyone comment on the feature limitations of the GPL version of KT and how they effect its use ?
