hi, i'm trying my 1st install of apache directory server/studio. i've installed the server on a headless, openSUSE Xen DomU. i used the 'binary' installer. nice-n-easy; currently, the service is up-n-running. is there amy reason/advantage to have used the .rpm instead?
AFAIK, not much, you can use RPM command for managing an .rpm bundle/package
i'm continuing to stumble thru the discovery of docs, and having a time of it :-/
most of the doco on the website are outdated, sorry for that.
(1) http://directory.apache.org/community/resources/mailing-lists-and-irc.html refers to IRC channels: Users IRC channel : #apache-directory @ irc://irc.freenode.net Developers IRC channel : #apache-directory-dev @ irc://irc.freenode.net on freenode, however, i can find no trace of either channel. are the moved? broken? dead?
No. These channels are active and you can find us there :)
(2) i've installed the standalone Studio (v1.5.4) on a lan box (OSX), and can connect to the remote server (@ the DomU). reading @ http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/141-configuration-of-apacheds-with-spring.html, suggests that to edit/modify configuration i need the SpringIDE. is that still the case?
NO, not required
(3) when I use Studio on the LAN box, is is storing config/data/etc _locally_ or on the server? if the latter, _where_ in the directory structure are they saved?
it is stored in a directory named '.ApacheDirectoryStudio' under user's home directory on the system where Studio was installed
(4) my goal is to be able to remotely administer the Server, config etc.
hmmm, I don't think you can edit the remote server's configuration. But you can edit a configuration file through Studio and export the changes back to server manually (e.x scp the file)
iiuc, that either requires (a) a locally-installed instance of Studio on each/every box i use to administer
this is an option but might be a overkill.
(b) a full X11 env on the server, served via, e.g., VNC to a remote box
X11 is not required if you can export the modified configuration file using scp or some other means
(c) a web-administration capability. _does_ Studio have one?
NO or
must something like phpldapadmin be setup/used?
no idea about this tool
help's appreciated! thanks.
