My Network Catalog is an indexing engine that allows Windows shares (or Samba shares) to be bound together over a local network.

My Network Catalog allows an easy centralized search of all the files available over the network.

Requirements:

· Perl
· MySQL
· Samba
· (Optional) Apache web server + PHP
· (Optional) Crond for timed indexing

Installation:

Edit 'mynetcat.conf'. Touch where needed.

Install the database. You can do it manually, with phpMyAdmin or with the
provided script 'install_db.pl':

./install_db.pl

It will set up the database and the needed tables.

If you want to use the PHP frontend, put the 'php' directory under your DocumentRoot (it is shown in httpd.conf). If your DocumentRoot is

/var/www/htdocs/

and you move the 'php' dir with:

mv php /var/www/htdocs

you can view the search engine with http://localhost/php/
