Topic: server-manager navigation

[Ashley Shaw]

Hi there,

I went to http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/ and downloaded servermanager-navigation-0.0.1, I installed the rpm through update system after that was finished my server-manager no longer displayed update system. I followed the server-manager navigation HowTo carefully, but was unable to add the update system option to the server-manager panel again. These were the steps:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 1: Download and install the following rpm.  Note force is needed.

# rpm -Uvh --force dmc-mitel-servermanager-navigation-*.noarch.rpm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 2: The rpm installs and executes this default script to populate the server-manager navigation panel:

# /sbin/e-smith/servermanager-navigation-default.sh  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 3: Customizing the panel

Valid panel entry names may be found in /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin.  Any custom panels you add must have a similar link created.  If you want a panel to be visible you must list it along with all the standard SME default panels.  To customize the panel use this db entry:

# /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop admin AdminPanels updates

or create a custom script:

# cd /sbin/e-smith
# cp servermanager-navigation-default.sh servermanager-navigation-custom.sh
# pico servermanager-navigation-custom.sh
# sh /sbin/e-smith/servermanager-navigation-custom.sh  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I completed all these steps, but still no luck. What does db do? what is its purpose?

Thanks
Ashley
