1) What paths am I supposed to enter when being asked for "Server's Data
Path" and "Default Configuration Path"? As I installed everything into /opt
(following the Debian howto), I guess I can't follow the suggested paths
that the Ubuntu-HowTo names.


Servers Data Path: this is the path  were the actual  files are stored.
Useally this resides in /var/lib/ but it might as well be found /opt. The
choice is yours.
"Default Configuration Path": this is the path were your config files
reside. On Debian useally /etc or, if you like /etc/simias. The choice is
yours.

2) Is there a way to get iFolder running without simbias-server-setup? Can I
edit the config files directly, where are they supposed to be and are they
documented?

3) How did it work before the existence of simbias-server-setup? The Debian
howto doesn't even mention this setup process, it just tells you to start
simbiasserver.

If anyone of you could answer some of these questions it would be of great
help.


Good question. I  actually  installed  a working iFolder a couple a months
ago (februari last year I think). Back then there wasn't a
simias-server-setup script: there was no ldap support, users (and admin)
couldn't change their password. But it worked!

Subject: [Ifolder-dev] updating Debian howto and Simias Server
Hi folks,

I'm about to install iFolder on a Debian Sarge system. Following the
Debian howto I realized that it was completely out of date, many links did
not work anymore, compilations did not work as suggested, etc.

I updated the HowTo, up to the point where I get stuck myself: Under

"Now to configure iFolder"

there is point 2. where it asks you to start
/opt/ifolder/bin/simiasserver

Obviously, the file is now called simias-server, but it refuses to start,
saying the server is not configured. Running the simias-server-setup brings
up a lot of questions, none of which are answered by the Howto.

Whatever I enter there (mainly following the HowTo for Ubuntu) brings up
the error message

Maybe you guys can help me to solve this problem so we can get the
Debian-Howto up to date and I will have a working system.
