Comment 88 for bug 87122

I originally built and installed iFolder from source and was testing it when I came across this discussion.

So I removed that version and installed the lucid version from the PPA in my virtual machine and it worked. SO I played around with it for a few days and found it be reliable. On my test machine I am still using the client from my original build.

I decided to load on my Home Server a Viglen MPC, running the server version of lucid.

The installation didn't go as smoothly as planned. When I originally installed, then installation seemed to hang installing the mono-apache-server process. After I got around this issue I could not get iFolder working. So I used "apt-get purge" to remove all the packages, ensuring I removed any configuration files created on my server.

I then proceeded to install ifolder3-enterprise again and this time it did not have the same problem. I did however have an error coming from the browser when trying to enter the admin program. I have attached a screenshot of the error.

I looked in the Apache error.log and found this entry:

** (/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mod-mono-server2.exe:13566): WARNING **: The following ass
embly referenced from /tmp/www-data-temp-aspnet-0/91b03261/assembly/shadow/f6abe

0001/).

I had noticed that on my TEST box I had a package called "liblog4net1.2-cil", so I installed on my server, restarted apache and everything worked after that.

I followed the procedure posted earlier, with the following changes afterwards

1) Generated a Key for the box

$ sudo make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite

Not too sure if this is neccessary, just thought it was a good thing, seeing it was the first time I ran a web server on the box.

2) Created a link between the iFolder configuration and the apache configuration and then enabled the site

$ sudo ln -s /etc/ifolder-server/apache/ifolder_apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/
$ a2ensite ifolder_apache.conf

3) Installed the log4net package

$ sudo apt-get install liblog4net1.2-cil

4) Amended the Public URL in the Servers area from http://localhost/simias10 to http://<HOSTNAME>/simias10

And it all works. I am going to start trying out the client from the PPA tonight.

Lastly, over my time playing with iFolder I have noticed some issues with running the client through a Proxy Server. I don't run a Proxy Server by default, but I do have one installed to run Dan's Guardian on, for my kids. So I will have another look at that once I get the client fully implemented on my home PCs

Keep up the good work.
