We've started testing the first public version of rpm package for POPFile (v1.1.1). Note: This package is NOT fully tested. So you may see some problems with it. If you find any problems, please report at our forum.

• POPFile v1.1.1 RPM for Fedora 10
• POPFile v1.1.1 RPM for Fedora 11
• POPFile v1.1.1 RPM for Fedora 12

• The first public version of rpm package for POPFile (v1.1.1)
• SRPM of above

The rpm file is signed using GnuPG. You can get my public key from here and here.

After the installation, POPFile DOES NOT automatically start by default (since the first public version starts automatically, I've changed this behavior to follow the Package Guideline for Fedora).

If you want to start POPFile, execute

$ su -
Password: (enter root password)
# /sbin/service popfile start
Starting popfile as background process:                    [  OK  ]
# exit

$ su -
Password: (enter root password)
# /sbin/chkconfig popfile on
# exit

You can see whether POPFile will automatically start or not.

$ /sbin/chkconfig --list popfile
popfile        	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

You can configure POPFile by accessing its UI at http://127.0.0.1:8080/

This install package installs some files in several directories:

• /usr/share/popfile - used to store POPFile program files (Perl scripts, image files, HTML template files, etc.)
• /var/lib/popfile - used to store POPFile data files (the corpus file(popfile.db), configuration file(popfile.cfg), history cache(messages), etc.)
• /var/log/popfile - used to store POPFile log files (POPFile log(popfile*.log) and console log(console.log))
• /var/run - used to store the pid file (popfile.pid)
• /etc/init.d - used to store POPFile startup script (popfile)

To install the POPFile package, you'll need these packages:

• perl
• perl-DBI
• perl-DBD-SQLite
• perl-TimeDate
• perl-HTML-Template
• perl-HTML-Tagset
• perl-IO-Socket-SSL
• perl-SOAP-Lite
• kakasi
• kakasi-dict
• perl-Text-Kakasi

The POPFile data files (in /var/lib/popfile) and the POPFile log files (in var/log/popfile) are not deleted after uninstalling.

If you really want to remove those files, please manually remove these folders:

• /var/lib/popfile
• /var/log/popfile

• Fedora 10, 11
• Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring

• In some installation of Mandriva Linux 2009.1, POPFile does not work properly when POPFile starts up automatically. A user has reported that turning off the 'speedboot' option solved the problem: Forum post
