Here are a few useful web-based applications that you can install on your e-smith server. Unlike RPM-based installs, installing these applications is just like installing them on any other web server. An effort has been made to list the instructions exactly as you would install them on e-smith, including file paths, commands to enter, etc.

One thing to note, is that PHP (which most of the apps that I choose to install are written in) has the open_basedir directive set. What this means is that the only files accessible to the application are those in the ibay where it's being installed. As well, you need to install the .htaccess RPM that allows these applications to override certain webserver settings.
