Installing the Web Portal Components¶
Enable the TeamDrive Web Portal yum
Repository¶
The TeamDrive Web Portal components are available in the form of RPM
packages, hosted in a dedicated yum
repository. This makes the
installation and applying of future updates of the software very easy —
you can simply run yum update
to keep your Web Portal software up to
date.
To enable the repository, you need to download the td-webportal.repo
file
and place it into the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/
, e.g. by using
wget
:
[root@webportal ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/td-webportal.repo \
http://repo.teamdrive.net/td-webportal.repo
This will enable the “TeamDrive Web Portal Version 1.2.2” repository, which you can check
by running yum repolist
afterwards:
[root@webportal ~]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: security repo id repo name status td-webportal-1.2.2/7/x86_64 TeamDrive Web Portal Version 1.2.2 11 base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 9,363 extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 263 updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates 807 repolist: 10,821
Download and Install the TeamDrive Web Portal Package¶
Perform the download and installation of the Web Portal installation RPM
package using the yum
package manager:
[root@webportal ~]# yum install td-webportal
The TeamDrive Web Portal depends on the Yvva Runtime Environment version
1.4 or later to be installed and configured beside other required
software components like the Apache Web-Server and Apache SSL module. They
will be installed by yum
as a dependency on td-webportal
automatically.
Once the TeamDrive Web Portal software has been installed successfully, you can proceed with the initial configuration.
Installing the Web Portal HTML Documentation (optional)¶
The documentation for the Web Portal (in HTML format) can be installed locally, so you can access it directly from the Web Portal (or any other host running an Apache HTTP Server).
To install the HTML Documentation, install the following package via yum
from the “TeamDrive Web Portal” repository:
[root@webportal ~]# yum install td-webportal-doc-html
The HTML documents will be installed in directory
/var/www/html/td-webportal-doc
. From your web browser, open the following
URL to access the documentation:
Note
This step is optional. If you leave the documentation installed when the
Web Portal goes into production and is accessible from the public Internet,
you should ensure to restrict access to this URL to trusted hosts or
networks only. This can be achieved by adding the appropriate access control
rules to the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/td-webportal-doc.httpd.conf
.
