This page is about making Amahi run as a Scanner Server.
''Your scanner must be supported by SANE for this to work.'' You can check compatibility here:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html
Due to the variety of scanners available in the market (standalone, as part of a printer or fax or multifunction systems), some may experience trouble with permissions.
== Preventing permissions issues ==
You MUST have your scanner plugged in to the server before installing the app!
After installing the app, there will be a file called install_pt2.sh in the app directory (by default, /var/hda/web-apps/scanner).
To run it, use the following commands after plugging in your scanner:
su -
(enter root password)
cd /var/hda/web-apps/scanner
./install_pt2.sh
Afterward, you can delete install_pt2.sh.
The basic steps the script takes are below. If the script doesn't detect your server, or it detects the wrong one, you may need to take the steps below.
== Older instructions ==
We want to make the scanner RW for a scanner group, that Apache is a member of and has access to. To do this, start by making a new group:<BR>
