Hi Jon, I Installed coda from the repositories on a Debian Lenny (my coda server is a Debian Lenny). Here is what I wrote on my installation log, don't know if it helps. Note that my server is accessible both from the LAN and from an external vpn connection so there are some tricks to get the server to report the correct server name to everybody. My set up isn't perfect because *on the server* (and only on the server) I access coda using a different hostname. Don't know exactly why but I don't care because I don't need to to that :)
This server has been up for almost 2 years now and it's holding up pretty well. Let me know if I can help you with anything ;) Paulo Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add at the end: • deb http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/debian lenny/ # apt-get update # apt-get install coda-server # vice-setup: • Do you want the file /etc/coda/server.conf created? yes • What is the root directory for your coda server(s)? /vice • Is this the master server, aka the SCM machine? yes • Enter a random token for update authentication: *** • Enter a random token for auth2 authentication : *** • Enter a random token for volutil authentication: *** • serverid: 1 • Enter the uid of this user: 2 • Enter the username of this user: admin • Are you ready to set up RVM? [yes/no]: yes • What will be your log file (or partition)? /vice/rvm • What is your log size? 20M • Where is your data file (or partition)? /vice/rvm_data • What is the size of you data file ? 512M • Proceed, and wipe out old data? y • Where shall we store your file data? /vice/vicepa • Shall I set up a vicetab entry for /vice/vicepa? y • Select the maximum number of files for the server 16M • Shall I try to get things started? y # apt-get install coda-client Remove "127.0.0.1 SERVER_NAME..." from /etc/hosts Ensure that in the /vice/db/servers only one line exists mapping SERVER_FULL_NAME to 1. # /etc/init.d/codasrv.init start # /etc/init.d/auth2.init start # /etc/init.d/coda-update start # /etc/init.d/coda-client start # createvol_rep / SERVER_FULL_NAME • Do you wish this volume to be Backed Up? n # /etc/init.d/codasrv.init stop # /etc/init.d/auth2.init stop # /etc/init.d/coda-update stop # /etc/init.d/coda-client stop # /etc/init.d/codasrv.init start # /etc/init.d/auth2.init start # /etc/init.d/coda-update start # /etc/init.d/coda-client start # pdbtool pdbtool> nu *** pdbtool> ag -1 *** pdbtool> exit Change /vice/hostname to "PUBLIC_SERVER_FULL_NAME" On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 7:27 AM, Jon Foster <jon-li...@jfpossibilities.com> wrote: > I just installed the coda-server v6.9.5 debian packages for Lenny, with > all of its requirements, by adding your repository to my system.
