Introduction
This will be the last release in the v1.x series as v2.0 has been released on March 11th, 2010.
What is eyeOS?
eyeOS is the Cloud Computing Operating System. Work online - personally or collaboratively - with your files, office, calendar, contacts and much more. Your data is safe and always available --eyeOS is Free Software! The base install here is a debian 5 with PHP5 and Apache 2 but no MySQL (no database).
Why is eyeOS Free Software?
The idea of eyeOS is to create a free, open source (AGPLv3) product easy to install on a web server so you will have your own cloud system under your control. You can also participate in a great community of users and developers, able to create your own apps. Welcome to the eyeOS project.
And what if I just want to use eyeOS now?
If you do not want to install eyeOS in your own server, you can create an account in our free public server and start using eyeOS right now. Just go to eyeos.info and discover the power of eyeOS.

Template Builder Files for v2.0
eyeOS2 is still in development mode as major applications are being ported. It does take a while to load especially for the first time. The username and password are initially set to root and the root password should be changed immediately. Also the mysql passwords for both root and eyeosuser, are not strong and need to be changed as well.
eyeOS settings
- Main software packages: Debian Lenny, eyeOS 1.9.0.1-1, Postfix, Apache2, PHP5
First steps
Start the VM and open a VNC console and install the latest security updates.
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
Now, connect to the eyeOS web installer http://youripaddress and follow the instructions.
Bug Fixes till SVN 7037
Text Editor bug
eyeNotes will hang on exit in the default install of v1.9.0.1 and can be rectified by right-clicking the desktop when logged in as root and choosing:-
Preferences -> System -> Cache System
and selecting the first radio box (Manual) for Patching CSS files option.
File Manager bug
eyeFiles not show the folder tree list in the left pane in the default install of v1.9.0.1. This can be rectified by swapping Lines 175 and 176 in the file at:-
/var/www/eyeos/eyeOSXXXXXXXXXX/system/lib/eyeWidgets/widgets/Tree.eyecode
where XXXXXXXXXX is the random hexadecimal number unique to the installation.
Upgrading from SVN 7037 to 7045
A few bugfixes have been done upto SVN 7045. Upgrade by executing the following on the console:
cd /var/www/eyeos/eyeOS* wget http://www.sacollege.net/files/appliances/eyeos-svn-7037-7045.tar.gz tar -zxvpf eyeos-svn-7037-7045.tar.gz rm eyeos-svn-7037-7045.tar.gz
The first command above will go into the eyeOSXXXXXXXXXX folder automatically if there is only one such wildcard result for eyeOS*, which is the case for a default install.
Updating eyeOS
Any version of eyeOS can be updated from the Virtual Machine's Console by executing the following commands:
apt-get install zip unzip php5-imap php5-sqlite apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/eyeos/eyeOS_1.9.0.1.zip unzip eyeOS_1.9.0.1.zip -d /var/www/ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/eyeOS mv /var/www/eyeOS/* /var/www/eyeos/ rm -rf eyeOS rm eyeOS_1.9.0.1.zip apache2ctl restart
Now go to http://your_eyeOS_IP_Address/ and upgrade the eyeOS installation on your browser.
The eyeOS project has now decided to drop the tar.gz releases in favour of the 7z format. The zip format however, continues to be available.
