    Hello all,

    I have a major problem installing IFolder (simias) from CVS, and from the
    RPMs, and I would like some help if anyone is familiar with it. Here is
    the situation.

    Problem: After starting simias, and starting a IFolder3 windows client on
    another machine on the LAN, the client error is as follows:

    "The server is unable to process request --> the request failed with HTTP
    status 404: not found"

    Steps taken to build IFolder and problems encountered:

    I followed the directions exactly as found here, on how to build a
    simpleserver. This builds simias from CVS.

    http://www.ifolder.com/index.php/HowTos

    I downloaded the simias source from CVS per the instructions.
     export CVS_RSH=ssh
       cvs -z3 -d:ext:anonymous@forgecvs1.novell.com:/cvsroot/ifolder co
    simias

    I followed the additional steps to the letter, and did the make install in
    the simias code dir (for me opt/simias).. This ran fine.. I then did the
    make install in the simpleserver dir... this did *not* work, as there was
    no make file in this dir..

    so the CVS, which is listed on Novell's site, does not have the complete
    setup to build simias

    I then installed all rpms needed from the DVD.. this included
    three mono packages
    mono-core-1.1.83
    mono-data
    mono-web
    and these 2 files.
    gtk-sharp
    libgdiplus

    Installing from the RPMs, puts IFolder in /opt/novell/ifolder3... after
    changing the /opt/simias/etc/simias-client-bootstrap-config file as per
    instructions, and starting simias with a ./simias (from the bin file), the
    simias server starts up fine. It is up and running.

    SimiasApp
    Listening on port: 8086
    Listening on address: 0.0.0.0
    Root directory: /opt/novell/ifolder3/bin
    Hit Return to stop the server.
    Pinging: http://localhost:8086/simias10/Simias.asmx
    Simias Application Path: /opt/novell/ifolder3/web/bin
    Simias Process Starting
    Simias Process Running

    The firewall is not up, so port 8086 is open.. and the error is an HTTP
    error, not a firewall error.

    Given that I have followed the necessary steps that are listed on the site
    to a tee... I have the follwoing

    Conclusions:

    1. The current CVS list on Novell's site is broken, and does not allow a
    build for the simpleserver. It does not make or put in a make file in that
    dir. Currently, one cannot build IFolder from CVS :)

    2. Using the RPMs instead, it does not build a simpleserver dir, and I
    could not find any reference to it in any of the scripts.

    If anyone has any thoughts on this, you have my attention. :))

    Thanks
