 This is a sample PHP web application for uploading content into a Fedora 2.0 repository service. It works in Windows XP or Red Hat Linux using Apache 2.0* and PHP4* and PHP5*. The intent of this client is to give others an example of how to get started.  This client will not be further upgraded since the NSDL is currently developing the new FIRE client with the Fedora team (future release).

Windows Service Installer

 

 

[download]

The Fedora Windows Service Installer will run Fedora as a Windows Service instead of from the command line. The service does nothing more than issuing the "fedora-start" command during the Start operation, and issuing the "fedora-stop" command during the Stop operation. Once you install the service you may Start/Stop/Restart the service just as any other Windows Service. All Case Western Reserve University
