Title: [SharedFolders] domain name pointing to share
Post by: guest22 on August 26, 2012, 04:15:17 PM

Daniel and team,

how difficult/complicated would it be to have a domain (e.g. share.mydomain.com) point to the share?

In the server manager I can point to any ibay, but not SharedFolders

TIA

Hi.

It would be quite easy, just a small patch for e-smith-domains, i'm just not sure it would be accepted because it would modify a core package just for a contrib, wihch isn't installed everywhere.
Anyway, it's possible to make a domain pointing on a shared folders, here's what what I do:

- install smeserver-webapps-common from the fws repo (see http://wiki.contribs.org/Fws)
- Create a domain from the server-manager (you can choose any ibay you want)
- Configure the newly created domain to point to the share you want like this

Code: [Select]

db domains setprop my.domain.com TemplatePath WebAppVirtualHost DocumentRoot /home/e-smith/files/shares/my_share/files
signal-event webapps-update

Regards, Daniel

Daniel,

works exactly as you have explained above. Webdav clients can now access 'share.mydomain.com'

Merci bien!

Daniel,

I've created a sub-domain (mail.mydomain.com) and through you contrib smeserver-webapps-common pointed a webapp to this sub-domain. However, where the webapp normally is https access only, now it is http accessible. How can I enforce httpS for this webapp please?

TIA

Yep, you just have to add:

Code: [Select]

db domains setprop mail.mydomain.com RequireSSL yes
signal-event webapps-update

There's some other options for each domain (like proxypass, rewriterules, access restriction etc...), you can take a look at this template: /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/WebAppVirtualHost/50Content

Yep, it'll work for any path, as long as www has read access

hi Daniel,

1. BTW, is Ajaxplorer required to be installed for all these to work?
2. Is Encryption option available if using /opt/myshare

3. I read about this contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/Mount_Network_Shares
and intend to test it out soon. But before that I was wondering, if your new stuff will also work with NAS on the same LAN with a SME8.0 box, i.e. 1 NAS for 1 domain.
4. Is Encryption option available for NAS "shared-folders"

Would love to test it out. 

TYVVM

Nop, Ajaxplorer is optional

2. Is Encryption option available if using /opt/myshare

Nop, encryption will only work for shared folders (stored in /home/e-smith/files/shares/xxx/)

I never tested that. For shared folders, the underlying file system must support posix ACL (setfacl/getfacl).

Not tested, but might work, I really don't know
