Table of Contents

• In YaST, on the Installation Settings page, make sure you do not add the iFolder 3 or iFolder 3

Web Access components to the install. You will install them later.

• After the OES Linux system is up and running, use the Storage plug-in to iManager to create

the NSS volume, create a directory at the volume root, then use YaST to install and configure

iFolder. Make sure to specify the path to the directory as the iFolder data store during the

iFolder configuration.

5.2.3 Install Guidelines When Using a Linux Traditional Volume

to Store iFolder Data

• In YaST, specify an EXT3 or ReiserFS partition as your system device.

• (Optional) Modify the Software components to add the iFolder 3 or iFolder 3 Web Access

components to the install.

If you install iFolder at this time, be prepared to configure iFolder as part of the install process.

See the following:

•

Section 6.2, "Configuring the iFolder Enterprise Server," on page 53

•

Section 6.3, "Configuring the iFolder Web Access Server," on page 55

We recommend that your iFolder enterprise server and Web Access server run on separate dedicated

servers. For small office use, both enterprise server and Web access server can run on the same

server without degraded performance. For best performance, configure your iFolder server as an

independent system with, at most, the following services:

• OES Linux (Minimum predefined server plus graphics support and NSS if desired)

• Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 (can be configured on a different OES server)

• Novell iManager 2.5 (can be configured on a different OES server)

• Novell iFolder 3.x (typically post-installed on an OES Linux server)

• Enterprise server

• Web Access server (can be installed and configured on a different OES Linux server)

• Mono (The Mono package is required for iFolder 3.x enterprise server and for Web Access

server.)

• Apache 2 Web Server (The apache2-worker package is required for iFolder 3.x enterprise

server and for Web access server.)

• Other iFolder dependencies as noted in YaST by the iFolder 3.x and iFolder 3.x Web

Access install packages.

Installing other applications or services on the iFolder server affects iFolder performance and might

introduce conflicts with the required versions of applications iFolder depends on, such as Apache 2

or Mono.
