General Overview and Installation

This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.

The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.

The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".

The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.

After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.

Module version 2.00.00

This module creates a copy of the directory tree /img in /raid/data/module/IMGDUP/img and creates a symbolic link /img to that place. The original /img directory is renamed to /img.SAVED before. This enables you to modify all of the files below /img which are read-only otherwise.

On the module property page, you can do this:

  • Backup/Restore: backup/restore all files in /raid/data/module/IMGDUP/img which have been modified or added to persistent module storage (/raid/data/module/backup/IMGDUP).
  • Upload/download: upload/download the files which have been modified in /raid/data/module/IMGDUP/img as a compressed tar file.

Module version 2.00.01

There was a bug preventing enabling the module although the module itself was working. There should be no problem now to install and enable the module.
