Title: Pydio contrib - problem with EPEL repo
Post by: Charles2008 on October 29, 2013, 03:31:05 PM

I have just been installing the Pydio contrib and should perhaps mention a small issue I came across whilst following the (otherwise excellent) contrib
instructions.
http://wiki.contribs.org/Pydio

at this point :

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=fws --enablerepo=rpmforge --enablerepo=epel install smeserver-pydioI received an error that the EPEL repository hadn't been configured.
I ran the whole process again ... same error message.

So I went to the wiki EPEL page:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel
... and ran the instructions to enable the EPEL repo on SME8 and then ran the above (in the code box) commands again - everything then went fine.

So it looks as though there is an issue with the instructions to enable the EPEL repo in the instructions of the Pydio wiki page. I would have a bash at correcting it, but don't have wiki access.

BTW - am I supposed to disable these repo's once the install is completed?
Is there a security angle, or not?

Instructions include EPEL configuration, see http://wiki.contribs.org/Pydio#Installation

The 3 additional repository are disabled already, and just used for the installation commande with the --enablerepo switch

There seems to be a problem with the instructions that I followed on the Pydio page:

This seemed not to work (to enable the EPEL repository):
http://wiki.contribs.org/Pydio   ...   part of block of instructions

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux' \
MirrorList 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-\$releasever&arch=\$basearch' \
status disabled GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
signal-event yum-modify
And this seemed to work (to enable the EPEL repository):
http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel   ...  SME8 instructions

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'Epel - EL5' \
BaseUrl 'http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch' \
MirrorList 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch' \
EnableGroups no \
GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL \
Visible no \
status disabled
I have Pydio up-and-running now (BTW thank you) using the second block of code from the EPEL wiki page. It seems to be OK, so I am assuming that I haven't 'mucked it up' too badly.
