Basic Content management system?
For this college project that I’m doing I need to develop a repository which will allow the insertion of multi-format documents (pdf, word etc…) and then a simple interface which will allow searching on this database of documents based on keywords and the ability to download and open these documents. Just wondering where to start on this. Whats the best technology to use. Was thinking maybe php as it can be a web interface to this repository or perhaps java using lucene. Is their any good open source libraries etc.. that could help me. Any comments suggestions greatly appreciated, Regards,
M
I don’t know a whole lot about creating a CMS. But one that my company uses is called Raconteur. (http://www.raconteur.info/cms-for-static-content/home/)
It is a VERY basic CMS. I’ve supplied the link in hopes that you can find some more information about what platform it’s built on. Don’t hesitate to send an email to them and ask some questions. They’re great to work with and will undoubtedly love to help!

If you have access to a MS server, Sharepoint is good. Mediawiki also has some support for what you want.

use php
Place the files (documents) on the server
1) Find a php site search script that meets your needs
2) Or use php and a mysql database to hold data to search. The data in the mysql record will also have a field that has the location of the file on the server – use that to build a link to the file(s) relevant to the search.
