Linux 7.2

This release of iFolder supports Linux 7.2 only.


Installing iFolder and Apache 2.0.39

Because Apache 2.0 is relatively new, any other Novell products that use Apache might not work when you install Apache 2.0. We recommend that you have only iFolder and Apache running on the server.

You will also need to increase the number of open files handles on Linux. To do so, use the following command:

ulimit -n 2048

You might need to increase this number depending on the number of threads that you have. If the Apache 2.0.39 error_log shows "out of file handles," increase the number (2048) in the ulimit command.

You can permanently set the ulimit command by doing one of the following:


Disabling the Apache 2 Access_Log File Output

The iFolder client polling produces an extremely large access_log file. Disabling the access_log output can be accomplished by commenting out the following parameter in the httpd_additions_linux.conf file:

CustomLog logs/access_log common

HINT:  To comment out a parameter, place the pound sign (#) in front of it. For example:

#CustomLog/logs/access_log common

Syntax Errors Regarding SSL Certificate Files

You can place the SSL certificate and key files wherever you want on your server; however, the Apache binary distribution looks in the /export/httpd-2.0.39/bindist/conf directory for the certificate and key files.

If you followed the Apache and SSL instructions in the iFolder Installation and Administration Guide Guide, you will not encounter any problems. If you placed these files somewhere other than the /export/httpd-2.0.39/bindist/conf directory, you will get a syntax error regarding SSL certificate files when you try to run Apache.

To correct this problem, do one of the following:
