I am just an old disabled guy that plays with the computer as a hobby. Not an Xpert in any thing!

I ran across SME and love it.

Would like a little feed back. I am looking for a CMS to set up on the web, and need input as to what works well with SME server. Open source types only, disability checks don't allow for $$$.

I want it as secure as can be reasonably expected in todays world, and would really like the ability for users to have a secure login available.

Easy to install on SME would be a big plus. I like MetaDot fine, and it install like silk, but appears to run a mite slow. so I am looking for suggestions. I have it tweaked with the recommened tweaks.

Any feed back would be appreciated, although no rush is necessary.. I don't do rushing any more.

Thanks, and hello to all, hope I am on topic in this thread.

Again, many thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi,

I can warmly recommend TYPO3 (http://typo3.org)
It runs fine under SME7 - and have hundreds of extensions. It can be configured in just the way you like...

However, even that the documentation is extensive - it requires some time to get a site running.

But, if you have the patience, you will experience a CMS system much more powerfull than Mambo, Postnuke, Joomla and others... In fact - several reviews compare the TYPO3 with commercial CMS systems at USD 200k.

Just my 2c..

Take a look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

You can play with demos to your hearts content. Drulpals not bad as well.

Thanks much for the feedback.  All are fine suggestions.

I like all three, Typo is one that I really like playing with, (that's all I do is play), but I was guessing that it would be harder than ever to get it running under SME.

So much for guessing, I suppose.

With only an 9th grade education, old age, and being an old former Marine, grey matter is in short supply.

I'm going to try these setups, with my limits, they should keep me busy for quite a spell!

Thanks Much!
Ed

Stephen, I tried to install the dungog RPM, but gave an error on the db username and/or password.
Has there been any changes?

I just tried an installation here on a test system, followed exactly the instructions and it worked fine. Have you used the proper mysql password eg.:

config show joomla
joomla=service
    DbPassword=+ObgSUzK2IVoPs/ ... cut ...

I took the HowTo to litteral, I entered 'config show joomla' as the password.....

I must say, install is very easy and very quick. Nice CMS!
Thanks

Hi guys!
I found dungog rpms to install joomla wich I was interested to.
After installation (very easy!!!) I have 2 questions for you:

1.Snoble wrote

http://www.dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#joomla
Is there a way to have joomla working in the www.mysite.xx (not www.mysite.xx/joomla) directory? Or is there a way to redirect it there?

2.Dungog says:

to add a more memorable URL eg. YourServer.net/site
config setprop joomla URL site
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
pico -w /opt/joomla/configuration.php and
edit $mosConfig_live_site from joomla to site
I've done so, but now I can access joomla in "www.mysite.xx/joomla" and "www.mysite.xx/site" at the same time!!! Where is the problem?

>is there a way to redirect it there?

it's a question everyone wants to know
raise it as a bug, but we don't know how to fix it

if you have to have this just install in an ibay

>but now I can access joomla in "www.mysite.xx/joomla" and "www.mysite.xx/site

is it a problem ?
some joomla code looks for the /joomla directory
so we added an extra /dir instead or replacing the original

I just used something I found in one of the forums and made a index.php in html of Primary:

?php
echo "<script>self.location = 'http://www.mysite.nl/site';</script>";
?>


It seems to do the thing

EdelingF and snoble
For redirection I use this html "index.htm" in "primary"
Quote
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Redirect...</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=http://mysite.xx/site">
</HEAD>
</HTML>

Hi,

Maybe you like Joomla:

http://schwarzecker.homelinux.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=28&func=selectfolder&filecatid=41


regards

I've tried this contrib and seems to work fine! Do you think that install joomla in "opt\joomla" is better than in "primary"? Why?
