Title: User login and pop/imap settings help
Post by: WA-Naemr on April 12, 2006, 11:43:24 AM: ok, i am not new to linux, however, i am new to linux console cmds, my question is simply this, i wish to install an rpm package off of a cd.

the package: smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
Avalable At: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//dmay/smeserver/7.x/smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm

Cd drive is on the same PATA(IDE) channel as the HDD, the cd drive is the slave, and they are on the primary PATA interface.

If it is to strenuouse, or just plain stupid to install of of cd, i am not oposed to bringing it in off the network (copying it from my desktop to a local folder) and installing from there, but, like i said, i am verry new to the cmd line of linux, and will need, (my apologies and thanks in advance,) a compleat walkthrough, line by line.. :-(

Post by: WA-Naemr on April 13, 2006, 05:55:58 AM: er, bit of a snag

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.

this happens when both trying to use the domain and the local ip address....

there is no visable ibay for phpmyadmin and when i try to add one, it tells me one exists

Post by: WA-Naemr on April 13, 2006, 08:53:53 PM: YES! Thank you verry much! now all i need is a resolution to the privilages issue....

Also, is there any way, to make it where i can start a username/ibayname with a captal letter or number?

and when using third party pop3/imap programs (outlook, outlook express, mozilla thunderbird) is there any way to set the server, so i can use standard imap/pop3 instead of secure imaps/pop3s ?

Thanks

Is there any way to make the user password changer a public site?

so that clients on the outside (WAN) can use the user-password page to change there passwords?

As it stands right now, they all get the "forbiden" msg.

I must be becoming a pest....

Since you brought it up:

1. A subject line of "HELLLLP" is not very informative.

2. Saying there's a problem and then finding out it was a typo on your part is slightly annoying.

3. Not learning to search these forums for answers (for example, password strength has been asked and answered many times) is more than slightly annoying.

That all being said, I think the only way to solve your user password issue from outside the LAN is to have the user authenticate to the server via PPTP, thus putting the user on the LAN; then he/she can access the user panel.

I too ran into the avatar permissions problem and have not solved it, but then again have not tried especially hard. Everything else about phpBB works great.

Post by: WA-Naemr on April 15, 2006, 05:49:09 PM: Thank you, i was afraid of that, not shure if i want ppl on the network via vpn yet.. and i wish i could search, but i was getting timed out every time i tryed, even with very explicit searches that there was a 1 in 200 chance there was anything in any post even remotly like it, i suppose i am doomed to slowly search the forums by hand :-? thank you for the passowrd help, and i will keep you updated on what i find for avatars

and when using third party pop3/imap programs (outlook, outlook express, mozilla thunderbird) is there any way to set the server, so i can use standard imap/pop3 instead of secure imaps/pop3s ?

Post by: NickCritten on April 25, 2006, 10:30:30 AM: In *nix you use chown to change the ower and chmod to change the permissions.

The folder for the avatars should already have its owner group set to set to www (thats apache by the way) to check, cd to the parent folder and do a ls -l

To change the permission on a specific folder to 777, you would do chmod 777 images

For more info on any CLI command, either do a <cmd> --help for quick help or man <cmd> for the full manual.

Also if you are asking Linux (as opposed to SME-only) questions, you are much better off searching google for the answer... There are lots of Linux for Newbies website out there (I should know, I'm still wet behind the ears myself! ;-)
