Configuration.

Java Edition Configuration Guide.

Once the web application component of the file manager has been deployed you can configure it by editing the fileman.properties file. This file can be found in the WEB-INF/class/com/lekana/ folder under the root folder of your installation. Various settings including the connection string for your database need to be specified here and they are covered in detail below.

Database connection string - url

The url property defines the settings needed to connect to your database. It takes the following form of jdbc:vendorname://servername/database?user=username&password=password. For example if you are using a postgresql server located on db.yourserver.com and the filemanager database was named as fileman the connection string may look like jdbc:postgres://db.yourserver.com/fileman?user=dbuser&password=123

In the above example dbuser is the user name for connecting to the database and 123 it's password.

JDBC Driver - driver

You do not need to modify this field unless you wish to make use of JDBC driver other than the default postgresql driver.

File Store - userFolder

Files and directory belonging to users of your system will be stored in this folder. Please make sure that the directory that you choose is writable by the webserver.

Create home directory - createUserDir

You should not change this from it's default value which forces Rad File Manager to automatically create a directory for each user as a sub directory of userFolder

Quota Settings

Two settings described below define the system wide default quota (disk space and number of files). You can override these settings on a per user basis via the admin area.

defaultQuota

This is the maximum amount of space allowed for each user. The figure is in bytes.

defaultFiles

The is the maximum number of files the user is allowed to store on your server.

Database Vendor - dbtype

The off the shelf download of the file manager is compatible with postgresql databases. Versions compatible with databases by other vendors can be provided on request and this configuration setting is used to inform the application which database is in use.

Upload Limit - max_upload

The file manager can be used to easily upload gigabytes of data. If each user is allowed only a limited amount of disk space you might want to consider setting a value of max_upload which is less than the defaultQuota. A max_upload of zero means virtually unlimited.
