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?
i'm continuing to stumble thru the discovery of docs, and having a
time of it :-/
finding info's a bit of a challenge so far -- as such, i have a couple
of rank-beginner questions. (if any/all are answered somewhere, a
pointer'd be very helpful!)
(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?
(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?
if so, can I install the SpringIDE (an eclipse plugin, right?) in the
standalone Studio? or do I have to install the "full" Eclipse?
(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?
(4) my goal is to be able to remotely administer the Server, config etc.
iiuc, that either requires
(a) a locally-installed instance of Studio on each/every box i use to
administer
(b) a full X11 env on the server, served via, e.g., VNC to a remote box
(c) a web-administration capability. _does_ Studio have one? or
must something like phpldapadmin be setup/used?
help's appreciated!
thanks.
