IIS 安装 pydio - 码农教程

Introduction

In this how-to, we’ll see the installation of Pydio (Put Your Data In Orbit), which is a good alternative to Dropbox, Drive, or ownCloud. In this case, the installation will be carried on a Microsoft IIS 8 webserver, which in this case, is installed on Windows 8.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, verify that you have the following prerequisites :

IIS 8 webserver is installed
PHP engine is integrated at the IIS 8 webserver
MySQL is already installed (it is recommended, but only necessary if you want use Pydio with a database)
Pydio : You must download the Pydio source before starting this how-to.

Prepare your IIS webserver

First off, we will prepare the IIS webserver to have the proper configuration to serve Pydio. Open the IIS manager on your server.

Prepare the site

Do a right click on « Sites » then « Add Website », you will obtain the form present in the screenshot below.

Add website in IIS manager

Complete the different fields :

Site name : Give a name to your site; it will be displayed in the IIS manager
Physical path : Root path of the site
Type : Use HTTP, or HTTPS if you have an SSL certificate
Port : Indicate 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, or another port if you’d prefer.

Complete the other fields if necessary. Once the configuration is complete, click on “OK” to finish the creation.

Now, open the Pydio archive that you previously downloaded. Then, unzip the contents of the pydio-core-5.x.x directory to the root of your website. Example:

Pydio distribution unzipped

Requests Filtering

For security reason, it’s necessary to prohibit access to the “data” directory of Pydio. To do this, you can either place the data directory out of the Pydio website’s root, or you can create an IIS rule to prevent access, we will do the latter. For this, you must have the “Request Filtering” functionality in IIS (the name of this functionality is dependent on the version). Once in the Pydio site, click on the icon which is presented to the left of this tutorial, and click on “Add hidden segment” on the right in the IIS window, shown below. Fill the field “data”, then confirm to create the protection rule.

Adding a hidden segment

If not already accessible, you may have to add this module to IIS. To do this, activate the “Request Filtering” by “adding features”.

Enable Request Filtering feature

Once the addition is complete, you can perform the operation described previously.

Authorization Rules

Using Request Filtering keeps the public folder from working in its default location. We can use Authorization Rules to disallow access to certain subfolders, which allows overriding at a lower level. Thus, let’s “deny all” at the data folder, and “allow all” at the public folder. See below for as sample web.config files and their location using as the root installation location of Pydio.

<authorization> tags are for Authorization Rules.
<httpErrors> is to change the default error page for the public folder
<requestFiltering> is to deny access to “.ajxp_” files in the public folder, though this has not been tested.

[optional] Dedicated Windows User

Within IIS, you can convert /pydio to an Application, so that you can configure it to run under a different user account than the DefaultAppPool. Create a specific user for the application to run as that is just a local user with no group memberships. Give this user read-only rights everywhere under /pydio, and add Modify rights (read/write/delete) to the data folder.

When doing an upgrade, add Modify rights at the root level and then remove it after you finish the in-Pydio upgrade.

PHP configuration

Now, we will configure PHP to prevent Pydio’s “PHP Output Buffer disabled” warning on the diagnostic page. Click on “PHP Manager” then “Manage all parameters”.

Disabling output_buffering

Use the search area to find the parameter “output_buffering”. Double click on the parameter and write the value to “off”. The website php.net indicates:

“You can enable output buffering for all files by setting this directive to ‘On’. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer to a certain size – you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of ‘On’, as a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096). As of PHP 4.3.5, this directive is always Off in PHP-CLI.”

Installing the application

The server is ready, the site is online, and now we can install Pydio.

With your favorite browser, go to your Pydio website. The diagnostics page will appear named “Pydio Diagnostic Tool”. Double click on “click here to continue to Pydio” – Unless you get one or more critical errors, but if you followed this tutorial properly, there won’t be a problem.

Regarding the “SSL Encryption” advertisement: It’s recommended to use a HTTPS connection on your website, so you must use HTTPS in your IIS site and have a certificate to secure exchanges between the client and the server.

If you want to activate the automatic redirection to HTTPS on your site, modify the file “conf/bootstrap_conf.php” of Pydio and remove comment:

define(“AJXP_FORCE_SSL_REDIRECT”, true);

Start the setup with the area “Admin access”, set a name for the Administrator account, a display name for this account, and enter a passphrase.

Pydio Install : Administrator user

Go to “Global options” and choose “English” for the “Default Language”.

Pydio Install: Global Options

This next step is the trickiest. Indeed, to store data, Pydio can use a database but it isn’t an obligation. If you want to do an installation without database, go to step 1 below. If you want to do an installation with a database, go to step 2.

Without a database

Without a database, no configuration is necessary, you must only select “No Database (Quick Start)” and continue.

Installing with or without DB

With database

You should already have a MySQL Server installed on your machine if you followed the prerequisites. If so, Open a CMD to establish a connection with the MySQL Server (make sure you cd to the bin directory of MySQL). Run the following command:

mysql.exe –u root –p

You get this :

Accessing Mysql server from command line

Then, for example I have decided to create a database named “itconnectpydio” for Pydio only, with a user named “pydio”, which has “password” as its passphrase. This is just an example. You should change these defaults in your environment.

The user “pydio” must have all privileges on tables in the database because it must manage the data stored in it. Enter the following commands:

# Create the database

CREATE DATABASE itconnectpydio;

# Create the user

CREATE USER "pydio"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password";

# Assign rights

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON itconnectpydio.* TO "pydio"@"localhost";

Then, go to the webpage of Pydio configuration, choose “Database” for “Storage Type” and “MySQL” for “Database”. After, complete the fields to establish a connection with the MySQL server.

Once that is complete, click on “Try connecting to the database” to verify the connection between Pydio and the SQL server.

If the configuration is correct, you will have this message: “Connection established!”

Testing connection parameters

This is the last step, create one or many users different of the account “Administrator” (optional). Then, click on “Install Pydio Now!”

First connection

When the installation is complete, you will be redirected on the login page of Pydio. Use the account “Administrator”, or another account that you created in the previous step.

You are now connected and ready to use Pydio!
