I want to create my own .mac server or at least part of it.
- iDisk,
- iSync (between computers),
- iCal sharing,
- and Backup.
I have found a great little howto for FreeBSD and have been trying to get this to work on the Sme Sever 7.0
http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/mac/tips/idisk/idisk-v2.shtml
EDIT This has changed to http://www.tnpi.net/wiki/Do_It_Yourself_.Mac
I have mod_dav installed as per
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20install%20mod_dav%20on%20SME%207.x
and have created an ibay named idisk
- with a group named mac
- Group read and write access
- and access open to the entire internet with no passwords
- and php disabled
I enabled mod_dav for idisk
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop idisk ModDav enabled
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify idisk
Then created a virtualhost called /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/31idisk
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
ServerName idisk.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html"
Alias /idisk "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html"
</VirtualHost>
This is not working yet
and
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
But now I need to add a davLOCK for idisk and not sure where to put the text:
# <Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html">
* Dav on
* AuthType Digest
* AuthName iTools
* AuthDigestDomain "/"
* AuthDigestFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavUsers
* AuthGroupFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavGroups
* Options None
* AllowOverride None
*
* <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
o require valid-user
* </LimitExcept>
*
* Order allow,deny
* Allow from All
# </Directory>
Any Help Deciphering the rest of the Document would be most helpful
http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/mac/tips/idisk/idisk-v2.shtml
including what to change to work with SME and anyother hints
-
In order to create idisk.domain.com
go to the server-manager and click on Domains. Then add idisk.domain.com and resolve locally to the idisk folder
This is how I created the virtual disk
-
I have added the code
# <Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html">
* Dav on
* AuthType Digest
* AuthName iTools
* AuthDigestDomain "/"
* AuthDigestFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavUsers
* AuthGroupFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavGroups
* Options None
* AllowOverride None
*
* <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
o require valid-user
* </LimitExcept>
*
* Order allow,deny
* Allow from All
# </Directory>
to the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35Davlock
I have never used web dav before so not sure what to expect at this point
-
next I changed to the directory
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk
and
mkdir kingjm
then
htdigest -c WebDavUsers iTools kingjm
and entered in the password twice
This created a file called WebDavUsers with the names and encrypted password
I also added the code
# <Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/*/Public">
* Options +Indexes
# </Directory>
#
# <Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/kingjm">
* <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
o require user kingjm
* </LimitExcept>
# </Directory>
to the 35Davlock file
and expanded the httpd.conf file
at this point there is no security measures in place as I thought there would be
I wish some one would help me figure this out
Coincidently
I have just found this on mod_dav

Try looking in the log files to see what mught go wrong at times you are accessing the specified domain and folder. To start go for /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log and perhaps also /var/log/httpd/access_log. There might be some information there.

I checked all of the above
in the error log it says
[Thu Dec 07 13:00:22 2006] [error] [client 192.168.10.50] client denied by server configuration: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/kingjm/Documents/index.phtml
So does this mean that I was not authorized
I can still access this folder without even asking for a password

Yes indeed at 13:00:22 (your local time on the server) you tried to access the location and you were not authorized.
-
Why will it not ask for password?
and why can I still access these folders
-

I don't know. I find it hard to paste together the pieces you are posting here.... the error you posted was from 13 local time, is it still around 13h or is it later?
Perhaps you misconfigured something so unresticted access is granted. Could you paste the relevant sections from the expanded httpd.conf file to see how that reads, maybe we can help you from there.

it is now 14:04 my time
The Code from my httpd.conf
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
ServerName idisk.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html"
Alias /idisk "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html"
</VirtualHost>
DAVLockDB /var/run/davLocks/DAVLock

AuthType Digest
AuthName iTools
AuthDigestDomain "/"
AuthDigestFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavUsers
AuthGroupFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/WebDavGroups
Options None
AllowOverride None
require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/*/Public">

<Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/kingjm">
require user kingjm
</Directory>
-
<Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/kingjm">
require user kingjm
</Directory>
[/code]
Shouldn't the last part read:
<Directory "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/idisk/html/kingjm">
Order deny, allow
Deny from All
require valid-user
require user kingjm
</Directory>I don't know for sure if everything is inherited from other more general settings, therefore it could be that you need to set every configuration entry for a directory section.
On top of that it could well be possible that you need to access over SSL (https) in order to be prompted for a username and password.

hmmm I rebooted my computer without changing from the code I listed above... haven't got to your last post yet.
Now when I go to mydomain.com it is asking for the login/passwrd that I wanted for just idisk.mydomain.com
I should add that I have just changed mydomain.com to a new one
now the new mydomain.com automatically goes to mydomain.com/idisk
but only shows mydomain.com in the address bar. I know that it is mydomain.com/idisk because the title of the page is "idisk directory"
error log says
[Sat Dec 09 18:20:56 2006] [error] [client 192.168.10.50] File does not exist: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/nf-images, referer: http://mydomain.com/
I am stumped but will keep looking
-
well I think that now I am a little close
mydomain.com asks for the login and password. If I give the password takes me directly to idisk.mydomain.com but the address in web browser still says mydomain.com.
The Good news
www.mydomain.com works as no login/password is asked for.
I still have not changed any of the code.
except that I have entered another user and given that user another name/password... When i enter one name in I can still access the other users space
I will now continue to try and get this .mac to work
-
I have created an ibay called www.mac.com with permission so that everyone locally can read without a password
then mkdir -p /home/e-smith/files/ibays/www.mac.com/WebObjects/Info.woa/wa/Query
then pico and add a file to the Query directory named retrieveDiskConfiguration
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
cat << EOT
{
payload = {
guestReadEnabled = Y;
guestWriteEnabled = N;
hasGeneralPassword = N;
iDiskQuotaInBytes = 1048576000;
iDiskUsedBytes = 339338752;
relativePath = Public;
};
statusCode = success;
}
EOT
next pico a file named accountInfo
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
cat << EOT
{
payload = {
iToolsBackupActivated = Y; trialAccountDaysLeft = -1;
};
statusCode = success;
}
EOT

I want to change www.mac.com to a local ibay
I tried to change this under the Domain tab in the server-manager and resolve locally but this is not working at present
When I ping from the sme box it shows that it is pinging locally but on a computer behind the sme box it still goes to the apple site
Can anyone help?

What's in the "DNS Servers" line ? (System preferences -> Network -> TCP-IP for the active interface)
The mac has a habbit to resolve dns names from the root unless you have an explicit domain name server in that line or the dhcp server has provided one - so yes - if sme has been THE dhcp server for the mac then it should be the one that resolves the names.
Also it may be that the .mac name/ip is hardwired in a way somewhere (I doubt that)
The best place to look for this type of q is at http://www.macosxhints.com - I do remember there was a discussion re this and there was a working solution (though years ago)
-
is this working yet ?
-
No I have given up on making all of it work. I you can follow through the note s that I have above you can continue on. PLEASE DO... and put any other information that you have found into solving the mystery.
-
I will one day when i get more of an understanding of sme and the other packages involved.
where's all your determination gone ?
I see you already know your way round sme and seeing you give up make's me wonder if it is possible on sme.
It would be a bloody good contrib, just keep at it, hacking away i'll help test or what ever but i aint a programmer or anything.
Could you at least edit your first post or create a new post with all the procedures in one post instead of them being in several replies, just to keep it all together.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem to use the contrib mod_dav, I installed it well with:
yum install smeserver-mod_dav --enablerepo=smedev
In the httpd.conf, I have well:
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
All is ok.
When I want to apply mod_dav to a ibay:
<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/webdav/html>
Dav On
</Directory>
After that apache is broken. I however tested the contrib subversion (which uses mod_dav): read/write works fine.
But to make a simple sharing calendar, I prefer to use mod_dav alone.
Somebody can help me to configure httpd.conf to add mod_dav to ibay on sme7.1.3?
