Netropolis indexes the files shared on a LAN and allows access to them through a web-based front end. Only one computer running Netropolis can give everyone on that LAN access to very fast network-wide searching. Made using mod_perl, DBI and Samba.

Client
This client is for those using operating systems/browsers which do not natively support SMB address handling.

Features:

• Easy to configure and customize
• Fast searches even on a large network
• Limit searches by file type
• Match all and match any searches
• Order search results by name, popularity, and size
• Uptime statistics for each computer

Requirements

• Perl (built using 5.6 - hasn't been tested with < 5.6, but should work)
  • DBI
  • DBD:: (for your type of SQL server)
  • HTML::Template
• A database server supported by DBD ( tested with Postgres only, note: Mysql does not work with Netropolis in the current release )
• mod_perl
• A mod_perl capable webserver ( tested with Apache )
• Samba
