Obsolete Releases > SME 8.x Contribs

keithone33:
this is being done from a fresh install of sme 8
your directions say start with 7
so does that mean you can't install within 8
Stefano:
last question: DID YOU DO what I suggested to you? can you please paste here the result of it?
johnp:
You should be successful if you follow his advice and install per link example

Stefano
I think keithone33 is reading the wiki contrib page for remote access contrib, where it has headings that say Install sme 7 and then later says Install sme8.
I think he is literally reading the words & not understanding.
The grammar could be improved.
I also think he has missed seeing the link you provided in an earlier post, where you said
"read here then" which had a link to
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup
but I think keithone33 never actually clicked on the "here" link (as it was visually overlooked).
I personally feel the use of short links like that are easily overlooked by novices or less experienced users.
I have even missed them on a quick read.
Personally I think it would be far better that you and others post the full link ie
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup
which is much more less likely to be overlooked by novice readers or readers "in a hurry"
So to keithone33
Please go to exactly this link which is for sme 8 and follow the instructions fully, keeping in mind you will need to configure a repo named sme7contribs on your newly installed sme8 server.
http://wiki.contribs.org/Remoteuseraccess#Installing_to_SME_8
Also when you install the remoteuseraccess contrib on sme 8 you need to use this command
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-remoteuseraccess
The reasons that you need to setup a sme7contribs repo on sme 8 is explained here
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup
which in brief says:
During the transition from SME7 to SME8, contrib packages will be migrated to the SME8 contrib repository. If the contrib is not yet in the SME8 Contrib repository and an entry in this Q&A suggests it will install properly then you will need to install the contrib from the SME7 repository.

You are misreading or misinterpreting the contrib wiki instructions, just use the steps referred to in the section Installing to SME 8
Read everything I said above again, just to be clear.
I believe you missed clicking on the link Stefano provided which would have told you how to setup the sme7contribs repo, and had you done that there would have been no confusion, the yum install command would have worked correctly, and you may not have got frustrated. People here were giving you the right advice, you just missed seeing it !

If ever this is an example of RTFM this is it, all the manual, particularly as, the Op said
"i host web sites for customers some (to my dismay) want to edit their own site, this seems to be a reasonable request just can't make it work?"
So they are no novice, far from it, it is in a commercial setting.
I am surprised Stefano was as controlled as they were. :-)
