Problem while communicating with external authorization while access Config-Extra

Hi, me again

I install OX Hyperion on:
- Debian 3.1 Sarge x86_64 (AMD Opteron)
- SMTP: netqmail-1.0.5
- POP: Vpopmail-5.4.25 uses MySQL Auth as auth backend
- IMAP/IMAPS: Dovecot-1.0rc4

I install Courier-IMAP (v0.58) using Debian package as its referenced by OX beside Cyrus IMAP. It runs on port 1143 (my custom IMAP) and port 9993 (my custom IMAPS). My Courier uses authvchkpw as its auth backend.

I modify some lines in /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/imap.properties:
imaps=true
imapsPort=9993
imapServer=127.0.0.1:1143

then restart Open-Xchange.

Normal access to web mail OK. But I get this error while click Configuration-Extras menu:
"11-03-2007 11:57 AM-->Error code: Problem while communicating with external authorization. (LGI-0003,-1036753854-31)"

Likewise while I login to admin panel (http://server/ox6/admin).
While click a user name in Administration-Management-User setup it displays error message: "11-03-2007 05:18 AM-->Error code: Error occured in: com.openexchange.admin.rmi.extensions.OXUserMailfi lterExtension! Errortext: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (SVL-0001,-1036753854-41)"

Any idea?

Sulung

Because no body help me :'( I try to fix this myself.
I hope can be useful for idiots (like me ) that meets the same problem to fix the wrong on some path.
I do these to fix above problem:

ln -s /var/www/ox6/js /var/www/js
ln -s /var/www/ox6/ox.css /var/www/ox.css
ln -s /var/www/ox/admin/css/admin.css /var/www/ox6/css/admin.css
ln -s /var/www/ox/admin/js/umin.js /var/www/ox6/js/umin.js

Now extra link works perfectly.

I'm sorry if it is a very basic question. I've read above issue.
But I realy still confused.
How can I fix the correct path?

Should I make a link?
I tried to make these symbolic link:
# ln -s ox/admin/css /var/www/css
# ln -s ox/admin/js /var/www/js
then restart OX, but they don't work.

Sulung

Hi,

But its weird, the new menu (Open-Xchange Server - Admin) pop up in text mode.
I can input my password, but I can not click something (link or button) to save it.
There is "Save", but its not a link or button, so doesn't work.

That's a known issue and is related to wrong placed css/js files:
http://www.open-xchange.com/forum/sh...68&postcount=7

BTW: Where is the setting to use HTTPS (443) instead HTTP (80)?

At your webserver configuration.

Greetings

I got it.
My Apache run in secure mode (HTTPS/443). Port 80 (HTTP) is disabled.
So I enable port 80, and I can access Extra link in menu Configuration now.

But its weird, the new menu (Open-Xchange Server - Admin) pop up in text mode.
I can input my password, but I can not click something (link or button) to save it.
There is "Save", but its not a link or button, so doesn't work.

BTW: Where is the setting to use HTTPS (443) instead HTTP (80)?

Thanks.

Regard

Thanks for reply.
I update "user" table:
mysql > use open-xchange-db;
mysql > UPDATE user SET imapServer='localhost:1143' WHERE cid=1 AND id=13;

I restart Openexchange.
Problem still happen, nevertheless now my OX can recognize Courier IMAP on port 1143:

Hi,

one possibility to solve this is to configure the imapServer per user (check the "user" table at open-xchange-db). Configuring via imap.properties is very inflexible and should only be done for testing purposes.

Greetings.

I check my log file:

If I am not wrong, OX still detects Dovecot as my IMAP server and can not recognize my new Courier IMAP running in port 1143 and 9993 (?)
Whereas, I am 100% sure that web mail in OX already use port 9993 as its IMAPS port.

Any Help Is Appreciated.

Sulung
