Obsolete Releases > SME 8.x Contribs

Installing Contribs in sme without internet access

(1/8) > >>

mealogav:
I have a SME 8 server (server only mode) on a local network.  Security is very high on this network so there is no public internet access.  I am using SME for a PHP and mySQL application and I would like to install phpMyAdmin to make administering mySQL databases easier and the MCrypt module to PHP (used to encrypt a sensitive comment field in a mySQL blob field.

Is it possible to download the necessary packages, copy them to the server and install manually?

I'm not an SME expert but I can get by at the Linux command line.

Thanks  Gavin

stephdl:
yum localinstall <package-name>

at least you need to download all this package and install it manualy

Thanks for such a prompt reply - fantastic.

Can you be a little more precise?  (How did you get that listing?  It is obviously very useful in giving all the dependancy packages!)

I think I can find the packages on my local UK mirror site and can download them.  Where do I copy them on my SME server, and then how do I install them?  Can yum be used?

Sorry if these are simple or stupid questions as far as you are concerned ...

Thanks for your help - Gavin

johnp:
You could create an ibay called something like mycontribs and copy the files to the files directory and install the from there /home/e-smith/files/ibays/mycontribs/files.

That way when you do a backup the are included.

He likely tried to do a yum install, but modified the command for your purpose. If you do a yum localinstall and don't have all the dependencies, it will let you know.

In his example, <package-name> would be smeserver-phpmyadmin

mealogav:
Hi - thanks.  Saving in an iBay is a good idea.

But how do you actually perform the installation?  Do I use yum but somehow point it at the iBay location to find the packages, or do I have to use more "manual" commands?

Thanks - Gavin
