Topic: Version 3 of unofficial update script

[gregswallow]

I have written an imail to him to solve this problem together with him. In the meantime just delete the securemail contrib lines twice in the script (once for download, second when installing them) or download them via a browser and copy them to the appropriate subdirectory.
Afterwards just start the script once again.

Stay tuned for a final solution...

I can understand this - he should get credit for his work - and people should know that they are using his bandwith.  I don't think we should use tricks to undermine his method of not allowing the download unless he gives permission.  

Maybe suggest to him that for the purposes of this script we could create a notice that pops up inside the script, saying something like:

"You are about to download and install Securemail - created by Damian Curtain and the download is provided by www.pagefault.org - Please see his website for more information: http://www.pagefault.org/howto/securemail.shtml - Please support him and thank him if you find his contribution useful"

Hi everybody!

The solution about the Securemail Contribs was much easier than expected. It was not Damien who changed the behaviour of his web server, but his provider for all of the sites he is hosting. Damien said, that we indeed could fake the browser type to get the files again, but I wanted to confirm, that he does not get problems with his provider, when we do so.
I hope, I will get a confirmation mail from Damien within the next 1-2 days, so I will re-remark   the Securemail Contribs then.

Still stay tuned.

.. I tried with:

-U "Internet Explorer"

and this works, so I have updated the script with this change and re-enabled the option

HTH

HTH

NO, that helps NOT! I wrote im my last posting, that I want to wait until I get the final confirmation from Damien!!

And I would have used "SMEupdate" instead of "Internet Explorer".

Hi!

So, now I added a german information. Could someone else edit the script and complete the french translation (and maybe add other langauges like spanish)?

I have done an online check (ping to www.contribs.org), make contrib install optional, and let the user send an error mail to me, if there are errors while downloading.
(I only get the plus.log with this mail and the root e-mail address, no other informations. )

The only problem could be a not yet working e-mail configuation, while updating with the script.

Nice work Stefan.  It seems lots of people have been checking out the update script.  http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php?pagename=Latest%20version%20of%20update%20scripts is the 23rd (out of 968!) most visited page on contribs.org - see http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php?pagename=MostPopular

Regarding what features we should add next...I was thinking about installing yum and creating a repository just for systems updated with this script.  There is a yum contrib here - http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/6.x/beta/yum/

I made a howto on a wiki page here a month ago with a sort of extreme/experimental upgrade for SME6 - http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php?pagename=LatestRedHat7.3RPMsUpdate  That was a bit extreme - lots of stuff broke - but it is a guide maybe for a scripted install of yum and some other updates.  I think we could use yum to add some more updates (maybe just updates from fedoralegacy) - it is pretty automated for upgrading the kernel for one thing.

Huge thanks to gregswallow and all who contributed to smeplus!

Its fantastic, installed perfectly without a glitch, no post upgrade problems at all.

Wonderful.
Thanks for creating this great script.

There's slight problem with script. I'm changing these lines:

#download Antivirus script
cd /root/plus
wget -nc -nd -S http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/swerts-knudsen/SpamFilter/antivirus_install.sh -a /root/plus/plus.log
echo -n "."

#download Spamfilter script
cd /root/plus
wget -nc -nd -S http://wiki.contribs.org/downloads/SpamFilter/spamfilter_install.sh -a /root/plus/plus.log
echo -n "."


To this:

#download Antivirus script
cd /root/plus
wget -nc -nd -S http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/swerts-knudsen/AntiVirus/antivirus_install.sh -a /root/plus/plus.log
echo -n "."

#download Spamfilter script
cd /root/plus
wget -nc -nd -S http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/swerts-knudsen/SpamFilter/spamfilter_install.sh -a /root/plus/plus.log
echo -n "."


Hopefully, the swerts-knudsen version of the spamfilter was what you were going for...

Thanks compdoc for that I found too that these two contribs did not d/l but after applying your fix they did.

The only question I am left with is where the hell do I find the PHP admin panel.

Just by the by I applied this update to the Custom ISO with a few other things that I had loaded but it worked fine, sure I got a couple of messages about rpms already being installed, but apart from that all good.

I've found the advanced workgroup contrib from James Prize extremely useful:

e-smith-advworkgroup-0.3-4.noarch.rpm at /pub/Linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/jprice/beta/e-smith-advworkgroup. I've tested it against Samba 2.2.8a and 3.0.7-1sme.

Code: [Select]

The only question I am left with is where the hell do I find the PHP admin panel.

Simply enter the URL to your domain and append it with "phpMyAdmin". E.g...

Code: [Select]

https:www.yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin

Use your SME admin name and password to log on.

Another bug?

when I first ran the script, it ran fine until it hit the spam and virus scanner problems mentioned above. But after fixing the script, and running again, I got the following error:

[root@entrance root]# sh smeplus.sh
: command not found
'meplus.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token in
'meplus.sh: line 5: case "$start" in


I got it to work by removing the quotes from around "$start" on line 5.

Is this the correct thing to do? does this need correction in the script? its odd it ran fine the first time thru...

[soprom]

Cyrus-imap users should keep away from this script. It changes something in the authentification which is incompatible with the cyrus-imap server. The server will not work and you'll be done.

[gregswallow]

The antivirus script on contribs.org is not as up to date as the one on swerts-knudsen.com (nov 13 versus Nov 23 - and there are differences in the text).  Both the antivirus and the spamassassin scripts download rpm's from contribs.org though first, so I think it would be allright if we change the links for the scripts back to swerts-knudsen.com.

[girkers]

I tried the PHP admin thing, but I get "Document contains no data" message.

I also got an error about mysql not being able to find the script when I rang the update.  So until I can get to my PHPAdmin page, I can't tell was version of MySQL I am running.

Please help
