Installing Swat

[mark2020]

I have red hat 8.0 and I want to install the swat web base tool to make samba users. I can't find how to enable it.

Thanks for your help

I didn't see HebbeLille's post No swat.

I did try the rpm -q samba-swat command and it said the package wasn't installed. I don't have the swat file in /etc/xinetd.d/swat. Could I install these files off the red hat discs?

Thanks...
Mark

Hi,

Do you use webmin? Anyway, what I did was to download and install the swat-package from redhat.com, and then swat came available through webmin... I still can't access swat directly.

Me thinks webmin is better than swat.

SWAT is not installed as part of Red Hat 8.0. Go to rpmfind.net and find a version that is listed as Red Hat 8.0 and install.

see "man rpm" for install instructions.

normally:

# rpm -ivh package.rpm

Could you tell us if you managed to install it? How did you do it? Just so that this can be used as a faq for others....

Here is how I installed it:
1. Put in RedHat 8.0 CD 3.
2. Mount it at [tt]/mnt/cdrom[/tt]
3. [tt]rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/samba-swat-2.2.5-10.i386.rpm[/tt] //Daniel

Are you then able to use it directly from a browser, at

http://localhost:901

????? Or do you have to do more configuring to make it work?

 

[danielhozac]

After you have it installed, you'd have to edit [tt]/etc/xinetd.d/swat[/tt] and change the [tt]disable = yes[/tt] to [tt]disable = no[/tt]. //Daniel

i have installed swat and followed the exact instruction as listed in this forum but it still didn't turn out to be work.

Do you need to configure something in order it to work and as well, i not sure about what is localhost?? =

http://localhost:901

it is come by default or you have to key in some name to it??

Please guys... i need help!!!

Did you try webmin instead ?

 

[hoffchai]

No. I didn't try webmin because i'm not sure of it. I need some guidelines on this installation and probably give me some tips on configuration to make all things work.
