Well, its been a month. I figured its about time to push out another iFolder appliance with the latest and greatest. The change log information since the last release on the iFolder Release Stuff page. There are only two changes in the appliance: The latest packages of ifolder and I changed the version of the 64bit images to match the 32ibt images.
Links:
32 bit:
vmware / disk image / Live image / xen image
64 bit:
vmware / disk image / Live image

Hi Gary,
I believe you only need to forward the http and https ports (80 and 443) for the client to work. That’s all I’ve ever had to do.

I really want to thank everyone involved in this project, and in this forum, as I have been learning from you all.
What I want to do is to install the VMWare tools into this appliance. The reason being my intention is to run this appliance on a computer with a Drobo attached. Thus, being able to easily set up a volume on the native OS, as a shared folder, with the guest OS.
However, if this task is more easily answered in another forum, then please point me in that direction, and I will happily continue my search for answers. *grin*
I must be blind what is the root username and password?
@Daniel root and ifolder I believe. There is another blog article about how to install it that should have it.
Hi, thanks for your time and hard work in building Ifolder Appliance. I have it installed and running as a guest in my esx server, and I can log in and use the web interface for both admin and user. However, even though I have the client plugins installed, I can not find a link to download the clients. I am sure that I have messed something up or am going blind Can anyone point me to where I would find the link to download the clients?
Thanks,
Mark
Hello,
I’ve created with lvm a volumegroup from 60GB. I added the datastore via the webinterface but I can’t delete the data store’s I created, I checked the rights on the folder w(ww and wwwrun) but I can’t remove the test data stores… How can I delete them?
Tnx for the good work!
Hi, thanks for your hard working, I import with ESX4i, everything works, except
1 No link to download the clients.
2 Can’t change the password for admin.
Even I upgrade it to ifolder3.8 still same issue.
Thanks

I am at my wit’s end..
I have the appliance up and running. Everything is working wonderfully! Except that I am trying to create an additional data store and cannot get it to work properly. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
I have followed the steps listed above…
“Howto starts here:
in the linux console:
create mountpoint (cd /mnt mkdir sdb1 (ie)) (sdb1 is a synonym for the new disk)
do an fdisk
mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1
mount -rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
change the owner typing chown wwwrun /mnt/sdb1
change the group with chgrp www /mnt/sdb1
add the newly created device to /etc/fstab, that means, edit /etc/fstab and add the line:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 default 0 0
this is to mount the new disk every time the system starts”
Everything seems to go correctly.. I assign it as a new datastore in the admin console and the console lists the additional datastore along with the correct free space… But it wont write to it….
When I sync an ifolder, the first datastore free space decreases until it hits 0 and then it starts over.. The second (New) Datastore freespace never changes and it appears as though it isn’t being used.
I have tried all sorts of permission settings and have confirmed that my new volume is mounted and the permissions are set to wwwrun and http://www...
I have followed the instructions above over and over with fresh installs and cannot get to a point where the new data store is getting data written to it.. Please help!
I still have the same problem with my data store, just like ssigrist.
I added the data store via the admin webinterface, I set the path correct and also the 50GB I provided are being recognized. When I uploaded an iso file from 4GB, it still being saved in the default data store….
How can I change my setup that all userdata is kept in the other data store I provided (50GB)?
Tnx!
Can you upgrade the appliance to the new ifolder 3.8?
I FIGURED IT OUT!!! Of all things, your DataStore name cannot have SPACES!!!
If I use the process written in my previous post and just make sure I do not include spaces in the Datastor name… Everything works like a charm!…
These kinds of things make life so frustrating!!
I have deployed the appliance on vmware vSphere 4, and are trying to use the LDAP up against Microsoft AD. However when trying to connect to the webinterface of the server i just get an error stating:
“Please re-enter your username and password”
What am i doing wrong?
[...] straightforward as you might think) is to download a pre-built image for xen/vmware or others from here HowTo Not Yet [...]
I get a 404 error on the Vmware images. Have they been moved?
Thank you for fixing the vmx download.
Hi,
Does anybody know why the /simias10 url doesn’t work. I’ve noticed this in every test install I’ve done and hoped it would work in this image. I have done this install as described on this site.
Rgds,
Randy
