server console screen is probably the most un-used screen ever...
Usually, mine I change it to default to login screen..
What you need to do is to access the machine from remote via http://your_server_ip_address/server-manager
First thing you probably need to do is to configure the remote access and enable the SSH with administrative capability.
If you're on windows, use WinSCP3 and Putty.. These are your best tools ever for working with SME..
Browse the Contribs Page (http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/ContribsPage) for various useful addons
Quick answers...
1. Look in Contribs for Squidguards, can't tell much, never use 'em myself
2. AD, nope.. Domain Controller yes.. Look in server-manager.. Notsure about AD, but search the forums for Samba 3.0.0
3. Search the Contribs
4. Read above about Putty, you can also access the shell from Server Console Screen, but I forget how ;-)
5. Click here for Documentations (http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/)
6a. Within reason.. Look at Contribs..
6b. ?
7. Usually yes but depending on your requirements...
8. YES!
As briank said, we can't really spoonfeed you.. But we can help you help yourself ;-) Good luck on your SME..

Try reading this
http://www.dungog.net/sme/help/
and searching the forums
A search for python will find many documentation and forum posts and web links.

Hi,
I installed Python 2.3.4 from source (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.4/Python-2.3.4.tgz)
unzip it (tar -zxvf Python-2.3.4.tgz)
./configure
make
make install
Then Python 2.3.4 automatically became default.
You can also download the rpm's from http://www.python.org/2.3.4/rpms.html

hello
I downloded again python 2.3.4 RPm file, and tried to install with:
rpm _Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
and also tried with
rpm _iUvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
Respone with both above commands:
1:python2.3 ########################## [100%]
But still i try to install mailman it sya
python 2.1 is minimum requierd
python 2.3 is recomended
what to do now
-
mobassir
You need to learn some of the basics first
> rpm _Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
Use
rpm -Uvh rpmname
and don't try to install the source (src) rpms, these are the wrong ones, they do nothing if you "try" to install them

If you bothered to do a search you would have found this

Hello
Oh sorry that was just typing mistake here in the post ,otherwise i used proper command,
rpm -Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
but i agree with u i realy need some basic help, becouse i am not used to with linux command, but trying to get knowlage from internet search and expert like u.
thanks for reply

Read my post, it said
"and don't try to install the source (src) rpms, these are the wrong ones, they do nothing if you "try" to install them"
by that I mean don't install rpmname.src.rpm etc etc
The correct command is something like (depending on the actual rpm name)
rpm -Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.rpm
(without the src, and of course you do not download the src rpms)
If you follow the search link I gave it tells you how to download the rpms and how to install them.
-
hello
Oh i am sorry i could not see abut "src" diffrencae , ok now i tried with
rpm -Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.i386.rpm
Responce:
error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
libdb-4.1.so is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
libssl.so.4 is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg
I think its need some these development tools , so i downloaded gcc-2.96-110.i386.rpm
It says
error: failed dependencies:
cpp = 2.96-110 is needed by gcc-2.96-110
glibc-devel is needed by gcc-2.96-110
its none stopable dependencies start
Few months ago i faced this problem in redhat 9 , when i was compiling any software , so some one recomend to install development tools from redhat cd with add/remove programe . and resolved.
But i dont know where are development tools in sme cd
thanks

Slow down .... do some reading and then slowly work your way through things.
I was very green with linux stuff and I managed to load all the things on that I needed by reading and searching.
Believe me I have loaded a heap of addons onto SME server and haven't broken anything yet ... and my servers have been running for over 2 years now.
As you can see by the ammount of posts I have done .... I have not asked too many things ... I search and read.
Patience is the secret ... ohh and a test machine is always a good thing to have :).

> is there any option that any remote user just can see mailing list page now whole server manager page and then click on mailing list icon to creat mailing list
Did you read the dungog Help file ?
If you did then you would know about the user manager panel
You install that and then configure it to just display the server manager panels required for a certain user.
log on to https://serverIP/user-manager
You may need to establish a VPN connection first for external users or setup a tunnel using ssh
