Uploader by pyther <pyther@pyther.net>

What is Uploader?
Uploader is a simple webpy application that allows users to upload files to a web server
and has support for user authentication. There is support for upload credits and user
expiration dates.

Uploader was created because I needed a simple platform to allow users to upload files
to my web server.

Features:
 -Set User Expiration Date - per user
 -Set upload credits - per user
 -Manage Users Files
 -Users can change their own passwords
 -Add users easily

Requirements:

  * http://webpy.org/
  * Unix/Linx machine (currently requires crypt module)

Installation:
    -Run Locally
       python index.py (http://localhost:8080)
       Not Recommend for daily usage

    -Configure the webserver correctly to use webpy script
    Move script to web server:
        tar -zcvf myuploader.tgz index.py static/ templates/ web/

    ***Lighttpd Example***
    
    fastcgi.server = ( 
        "/uploader.py" =>
        ((
            "socket" => "/tmp/fastcgi-uploader.tmp",
            "bin-path" => "/home/http/uploader/index.py",
            "max-proc" => 1,
            "bin-environment" => (
                "REAL_SCRIPT_NAME" => "/uploader"
            ),
            "check-local" => "disable"
        ))
        )   
    
    url.rewrite-once = (
        "^/uploader/(.*)$" => "/uploader.py/$1"
    )
    
    Depending on server may want to create a .htaccess file to protect database/config file and auto defaulting to application URL:
    
        # Set the default handler.
        DirectoryIndex index.fcgi/

        # deny access to user database
        <FilesMatch "app.db|uploader.ini">
          Order deny,allow
          Deny from all
        </FilesMatch>
    
    NOTE web.py web/wsgi.py also need to be edited to NOT pass any params other than function into flups.WSGIServer() for runfcgi also  updated application.py to call runfcgi()


    - Run `python index.py resetadmin` this will create the app.db database
    and prompt for the admin password.
    
    -Configure some simple variables. Either create `uploader.ini` with contents like:
    
        [config]
        uploadpath: /tmp
        uploadurl: http://www.example.com/uploads
    
    Or in index.py
        uploadpath = physical path where all uploads will be stored - ex: /srv/http/example.com/uploads/
        uploadurl = the url to access all uploaded files - ex: http://example.com/uploads/

        MaxSize = Maximum Size of uploaded files for users
        MaxSizeAdmin = Maximum Size of uploaded files from Administrators 

Troubleshooting:
    *If you get an error about the database being unable to be read/opened check the permissions and make sure the web server can read/write the database.
