Mounting folder with cli.php and filemanager

[DenSys]

Hi all,

I'm having a few issues with eGroupwares file manager and cli.php.

I am trying to get a the filesystem folder /home/samba/shares/allusers mounted to the vfs folder /mnt so I can view, download and upload files to the filesystem folder via the eGrouwpare web interface.

The first command I use is:

./cli.php mount --user root_$myuser --password $mypassword filesystem://default/home/samba/shares/allusers?group=Default&mode=0777 /mnt

Which out puts:

Root access granted!

filesystem://default/home/samba/shares/allusers?group=Default&mode=0777 successful mounted to /mnt

I then run mount to double check it worked

./cli.php mount --user root_$myuser --password $mypassword

and this seems OK:

Root access granted!

sqlfs://$host/ /

filesystem://default/home/samba/shares/allusers?group=Default&mode=0777 /mnt

links://$host/apps /apps

When I run ls from the cli it does display the folder I have in the file system folder

./cli.php ls --user root_$myuser --password $mypassword vfs://default/mnt
Root access granted!
ls vfs://default/mnt (long=0, numeric=0, recursive=0)


mnt:
My Data Stuff More stuff

But when I browse to the root folder in the web interface /mnt is not there. When I manually type /mnt in the file manager address bar I get:

The requested path /mnt is not available.

I tried to chown and chmod the folder, which executed OK, but I still can access it vie the web interface.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Log out and in again, all config variables (that’s where the mounts are
stored) get cached in the session.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but that does not seem to work.
Have got any other suggestions?

I am using eGroupware 1.6.002 with Debian Lenny

Log out and in again, all config variables (that’s where the mounts are
stored) get cached in the session.

After some more testing I have discovered that if the file system folder is inside the web root it works OK.

If I use a folder outside the web root even belonging to the Apache user, it does not work from the web interface.

Is this a apache/php configuration issue or is this by design?

I bumped into the same behavior :
The mounted folder appears in filemanager only if the source folder is in the web root hierarchy.

Any info or progress on this matter ?

That’s definitly not true! We regulary mount directories outside the
docroot, eg. a subdir from EGroupware files_dir.

You can mount arbitrary folders, IF Apache / Webserver has access to
it. Access can also be denied by PHP’s open_basedir directiv, eg. from
EGroupware Apache configuration or your php.ini.

That worked, the default install of eGroupware have the open_basedir activated.
So you have to edit the /etc/egroupware/apache.conf
and add your source path to the “php_admin_value open_basedir …” line

Thanks.
