Hi,

Listed below is a outline of the steps to be followed to update RPM packages on medusa.

1) Download or create the RPM and put this rpm in /home/install/contrib/4.1/arch/RPMS

2) Install it on the front end as follows:

# rpm -Uvh /path/to/created-or-downloaded RPM

3) Once the required RPM is installed on the front-end it requires to distributed to the compute nodes.This is done as follows:

# /home/install/site-profiles/4.1/nodes

# cp skeleton.xml extend-compute.xml

Inside extend-compute.xml, add the package name by changing the section from:

Mambo has now been modified to work with options similar to limbo
like external authorization, auto login and auto user registration.

The names of the variables respectively are
1) $mosConfig_ect_auth

2) $mosConfig_auto_login

3) $mosConfig_auto_user_registration

The files that have been modified for this to work are includes/mambo.php, index.php and modules/mod_login.php.

However, currently the entire mambo directory is being protected by shibboleth, and the anonymous user scenario is still not in place, which i am currently working on.

Some of the PHP debug functions like debug_print_backtrace are only supported in PHP 5 which is not the PHP version with our current configuration. However, Some of other debug functions like debug_backtace, error_log etc are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and above and these functions work with the present configuration setting of PHP and Apache server.

Hi All,

Here is a link to mambo documentation pointed out by Jill.
