How do you disable/uninstall AccessBook? I don't want to use it after all

Hello, if you want to disable AccessBook, you can do the following :

replace your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file with one of the following, depending if you had activated php or not :
http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/lighttpd_withoutphp.conf
http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/lighttpd_withphp.conf

==> this will disable AccessBook, but will keep your WebServer configured.

To remove AccessBook files,

Delete the created symlinks :

rm /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLink/*
rm /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLsm2xs4/*

rm /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Public/AccessBook_Stream/*
rmdir  /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Public/AccessBook_Stream

then remove
/shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/Main.pl
and
/shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook

That's all. you have totally removed AccessBook.

Regards,

Hi, i have replaced the .conf and removed
/shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/Main.pl
and
/shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook

but

there is still
/shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLink/cgknjfdok

i attempted deleting it through PuTTY, but after the process was taking too long i cancelled it, and tried to go inside, only to see that it was a mount of /shares/internal

does this mean that when i attempted deleting cgknjfdok it has gone on to delete some of the contents of /shares/internal until i stopped it?

also it might be a good idea to include the instructions to unmount the said folder to the above step list, as well as point out what the SLink contents are.

thanks

Hi,
I have never thought of this risk before…
the /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLink contains linux symlinks that have been established with the command ln -s.

Normally, when you delete a symlink, it does not delete the refered folder.

To correctly delete these symlinks, use the following command : ( i have tested it on my own mybook)

rm /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLink/*
rm /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLsm2xs4/*

This command is immediate.

then check that there is no more links in the /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/SLink
I did some tests and there is a high risk that some data have been deleted when you tried to delete the AccessBook Folder …

==> I will recheck the AccessBook Code ASAP, to see how to prevent this risk …
==> I will provide soon an official uninstall procedure .
Regards,

Hello,

I have installed accessbook and everything was working fine. I was just looking around at my HDD and I saw some strange folders (Slink and SLsm2xs4). I didn't know what is was so I just delete it (OOOPS!!) When it takes to long I cancelled the job and some files where missing… No big deal, I did some datarevovery to find my lost data…
But now I have the following problem when I try to open a file AcccesBook give me a "404 file not found" error. I had uninstalled en installed AccessBook about five times now but it wont help!! But, when I'm looking in the AccessBook-folder the simlinks are not there.

Conclusion: when I reinstall AccessBook the deleted simlinks won't be created.
Question: How can I create these simlinks, that accesbook is working again?

Thanks and regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcelleke,
you should not delete the Slink or the SLsm2sx4 symlink from your windows client , using Samba !

I though i had put a security against that :
normally, you should have a "veto file" line in your /var/oxsemi/smb.conf file
this line should contain "SLsm2sx4".

Had you reinstalled samba via optware one day?

In order to reinstall AccessBook :
1) : download a clean lighttpd.conf file :

cp /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bad
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/lighttpd_withoutphp.conf -O /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
/etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh restart

2) delete the /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/Main.pl file
3) delete te /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Welcome/AccessBook/HTML folder

4) reinstall AccessBook from the https://<Mybook>:3210 interface.

Hi,

I've installed Access book on my MBWE and I wasn't able to make it work properly,

I Can browse the folders but as soon as i try to access a file, I get a 404 error.
by reading this post, it seems that it's because the symlinks where never created during the install, I unistalled accessbook and reinstalled it, nothing changed.

can you help me out ?

Thanks

Hi tbeau,
Can you indicate which Mybook Version do you own?

is it the Blue Ring or the Whitelight ?

if it is the blue ring, you may try the following :
chown -R www-data:www-data /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW

teinturman.
