Get KFM

You can download KFM from http://kfm.verens.com/ . This manual is only valid for KFM versions > 1.4. Unzip this download to the location where you want to have KFM available. I will discuss a secure setup of KFM on a linux server. If you have a different system, please feel free to add your own example. In my example make kfm available in:

/var/www/space

Create location for the files

The location of the files is a very important consideration. If you want your files to be publicly available for all internet users make sure that there is a folder available that is publicly accessible and properly configured with the

$kfm_userfiles_output

setting as described in the Configuration. In this example we will set up a secure file manager. Create for example a folder /var/spacefiles and make sure that this folder is accessible by the web server. In this case make the Configuration setting:

$kfm_userfiles_address = '/var/spacefiles';

Setup the webserver

There are many ways of setting up the webserver. In this case we set up a virtual server for the domain: space.yourdomain.com. To do this edit the apache configuration file. This can be /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, /etc/apache2/sites-available/default or another location. Make it like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName space.yourdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/space
</VirtualHost>

Please read the Configuration section carefully, since the installation is not yet secure!!!!
