5.2 Enterprise Server

5.2.1 Install Guidelines When Using a Linux POSIX Volume to Store iFolder Data

  • In YaST, specify an Ext3 or ReiserFS partition as your system device.

  • (Optional) Modify the Software components to add the iFolder 3 components to the install.

    If you install iFolder at this time, be prepared to configure iFolder as part of the install process. For more information, see Section 6.0, Installing and Configuring iFolder Services.

5.2.2 Install Guidelines for Other Components

We recommend that your iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server and Web Access server run on separate dedicated servers. For small office use, both enterprise server, Web Admin server and Web access server can run on the same server without degraded performance. For best performance, configure your iFolder server as an independent system with, at most, the following services:

  • Directory services.

  • iFolder 3.9.x:

    • Enterprise server

    • Web Access server

    • Web Admin server

    • mono-addon version 2.6.7 (The Mono package is required for iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server, and Web Access server.)

    • Apache 2 Web Server (The apache2-worker package is required for iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server, and Web Access server.)

      IMPORTANT:Ensure that Apache is SSL-enabled and is configured to point to an SSL certificate on an ifolder server. For more information, see Section D.3, Configuring Apache to Point to an SSL Certificate on an iFolder Server.

Installing other applications or services on the iFolder server affects iFolder performance and might introduce conflicts with the required versions of applications iFolder depends on, such as Apache 2 or Mono.
