INSTALL : WebDAV file share
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
Note: if you don't know what WebDAV is you probably don't need it. The default
|
||
|
|
vfs_sql is generally faster and easier to setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Filemanager's WebDAV support allows you to store your files online in
|
||
|
|
phpgroupware, in a way that cooperates well with other web applications (for
|
||
|
|
instance, in Windows you can then access your files as a "web folder", and
|
||
|
|
similarly KDE, Gnome, MacOSX, and amultitude of applications (eg MS Office and
|
||
|
|
OpenOffice.org) all include some way of browsing files on a WebDAV share)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
To install:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1/ Setup a WebDAV server - currently this code has only been well tested using
|
||
|
|
Apache's mod_dav (http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/). mod_dav is included in
|
||
|
|
Apache 2, and most Linux distributions include it as a package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To setup mod_dav ensure that you have the module installed correctly ( RTFM :)
|
||
|
|
and create a virtual host (eg files.yourdomain.com) something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<VirtualHost files.yourdomain.com:80>
|
||
|
|
AccessFileName .htaccess
|
||
|
|
ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.com
|
||
|
|
DocumentRoot /var/files
|
||
|
|
<Location />
|
||
|
|
AllowOverride All
|
||
|
|
Options +Indexes
|
||
|
|
DAV on
|
||
|
|
DirectoryIndex /
|
||
|
|
RemoveHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
|
||
|
|
RemoveType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
|
||
|
|
RemoveType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
|
||
|
|
</Location>
|
||
|
|
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
|
||
|
|
#This ensures phpgroupware can modify .htaccess files
|
||
|
|
order deny,allow
|
||
|
|
deny from all
|
||
|
|
#make sure your phpgroupware server is included here.
|
||
|
|
allow from localhost .localdomain
|
||
|
|
</Files>
|
||
|
|
ServerName files.yourdomain.com
|
||
|
|
ErrorLog logs/dav_err
|
||
|
|
CustomLog logs/dav_acc combined
|
||
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2/ On the setup page (phpgroupware/setup/config.php) specify
|
||
|
|
the WebDAV server URL (eg http://files.yourdomain.com ) in the: "Full path
|
||
|
|
for users and groups files" text area, and select DAV in the:
|
||
|
|
"Select where you want to store/retrieve filesystem information"
|
||
|
|
combo. If your file repository supports SSL you might want to enter
|
||
|
|
'https://files.yourdomain.com' instead - note that phpGroupWare itself wont
|
||
|
|
use SSL to access the repository, but when it redirects the users browser to
|
||
|
|
the repository it will use the secure https url.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3/ Make sure your WebDAV repository contains a "home" directory (important!)
|
||
|
|
So if your WebDAV directory is /var/files, you would need:
|
||
|
|
/var/files/
|
||
|
|
/var/files/home/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4/ (OPTIONAL) Ideally you want some kind of authentication on the WebDAV
|
||
|
|
repository, so that users accessing it directly still need their phpgroupware
|
||
|
|
password.
|
||
|
|
To enable authentication you must use a third-party Apache authentication
|
||
|
|
module. Which you use depends on how you have setup authentication in
|
||
|
|
phpGroupWare - for instance if you use an SQL DB (the default) then set up
|
||
|
|
mod_auth_pgsql (http://www.giuseppetanzilli.it/mod_auth_pgsql/) or
|
||
|
|
mod_auth_mysql (http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/)
|
||
|
|
An example .htaccess file is included for postgresql - mysql would be
|
||
|
|
similar. Your file repository also needs to be configured to allow
|
||
|
|
phpGroupWare to write .htaccess files (the setup in (3) will allow this)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that using an Apache module for authentication is not strictly
|
||
|
|
required in order to use WebDAV within phpGroupWare.
