    Installation problem SLES11SP1

    Hi,

    I'm currently trying to install the open xchange on a new machine.
    I tested everything on a SLES11 box, but now I want to use the new release.

    I used the same steps as shown in
    404 Not Found
    http://oxpedia.org/index.php?title=Open-Xchange_Installation_Guide_for_SLES11#Configure_services


    But now after starting the server for the first time
    the registration does not work:

    $ rcopen-xchange-admin start # works fine

    $ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/registerserver -n oxserver -A oxadminmaster -P admin_master_password

    error message:
    server could not be registered:
    Error: Connection refused to host: localhost; nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

    From the log file:
    Sep 2, 2010 11:15:26 AM org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.socket.tcp.Latera lTCPCacheManager fixService

    I used localhost (pointing to 127.0.0.1) in the previous steps, but nothing seems to listen here....

    What's wrong ? Any idea ?

    Thanks & bye, Peer

    Hi Peer,

    could you please check if the open-xchange-admin process is running? Try to ping "localhost" and nmap it for open ports. Port 1099 needs to be listening to accept RMI calls by the command line tools. Perhaps some firewall is blocking it?

    Greetings

      Is the java think the admin process ?

      Thanks for the quick response !

      Bye, Peer

        Yeah, the java process is the admindaemon process. However, port 1099 (rmiregistry) is not open. Could you check the admin log file while starting up and if some service is blocking this port from being opened?

        Thanks

          Here is the LOG from one start.
          I'll rebooted the machine to clean up everything.
          The log is from one start only.

          I've also tryied to shutdown the firewall and/or apparmor.
          Both services have no influence - as expected ...

          Thanks & bye , peer

            Well, seems like there are more issue starting the admindaemon. Could you please post a list of all installed open-xchange* packages and the output of java -version?

            Thanks

                    Hrm, looks okay as well. I'm curious about the error message "No master credentials specified". Have you executed the initconfigdb and oxinstaller commands prior of starting the admin? Does the file /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd exist and contain a entry like oxadminmaster:<hashed password>?

                      Hi,

                      so I solved *this* problem. The password was not set correctly.
                      I seem's to be tricky to use "special" characters ";!," in the admin pw.
                      I did everything with a more simple pw and it worked.

                      The oxadmin user could be created, but the web interface can not talk
                      to the server
                      Connection refused: proxy: AJP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8009 (127.0.0.1) failed

                      So I'll have to check, whats wrong here ...

                      From the cli I can create users, list user etc. pp.

                      A second question: Is there also a How TO for activating https and installing a official cert. ?

                      Thanks again for your help !

                        Hi,

                        have you started the open-xchange-groupware service? This one will provide the AJP13 interface for the webserver to talk to. Note that other services running on Port 8009, e.g. Tomcat, will lead to issues.

                        External clients communicate with OX through the webserver, so you only need to install a valid certificate at you Apache configuration. All other OX interfaces use HTTP and will take advantage from the webserver configuration.

                        Greetings

                          It's working now. After a restart everything worked like expected.
                          I still have other problems (ldap), but I will open a new thread.

                          Thanks for the help !
