If you have an iFolder 3.8 (and some previous versions) server, and you use the local database (instead of LDAP or what-not), then you may have run into a situation where you have to change a password for a regular user when that current password is not known. Of course, if the user *knows* his [...]
(This article was updated for technical accuracy, and tested, 20100109. I’ve been chasing packages, across URLs, across the ‘Net… Ugh… ) My previous iFolder-related cheat-sheets here on this blog have been reasonably popular (see the ifolder3 category for reference). I get quite a few comments and requests for various configuration alterations and such, but I [...]
…and I’m not happy about it. Oh, its not really Suse’s fault directly. Or Opensuse’s fault specifically. In fact it is a combination of faults, including my own. But mostly, it is Novell’s fault. You see, I cannot live without iFolder. And I realize that now, more than ever. Aside: Here are two great links [...]
Here is my version of a “cheat-sheet” for installing iFolder3.6 on SLES10sp2 (It is based on — and is almost the same as — my earlier cheat-sheet based on iFolder3.6 on Opensuse10.3, with minor differences). This cheat-sheet kinda’ leaves you out on your own once you get to the part about running the configuration script [...]
Today’s question comes from Stan Chelchowski. Here’s the essential part of what he wrote: ”How do you migrate open source iFolder server and corresponding iFolders to new hardware? Both are running SLES10. Can this all be done by copying directories between the servers and then making the new hardware take on the old server’s identity?” The [...]
This is a follow-up to an earlier, similar post about Opensuse 10.3 and iFolder 3.2/3.4. Please follow the link to read the history, or this post might not make much sense on its own… I’m still loving my OpenSUSE 11 installation, a few days after release. Except for the fact that I have to re-initialize [...]
Here is my version of a “cheat-sheet” for installing iFolder3.6 on Opensuse10.3. This cheat-sheet kinda’ leaves you out on your own once you get to the part about running the configuration script (see below), but I don’t want to over-do it here and try to help you with every option you could possibly choose. Other [...]
I admit it. I thought I was out of luck. Let me explain… You see, I run various versions of iFolder3 servers (home is 3.4, corporate is 3.2, customers, etc) that I depend on. But, I could not resist jumping to Opensuse10.3 as soon as it came out. Right after getting the OS installed, migrating [...]
