Open-Xchange Community Edition Installer released

[frosch]

...This means a installation of the Open-Xchange Server will no longer require a build process at the server, it can be installed just like any other software. I really think this will take away a lot of problems caused by the installation process before. Therefor the installer had a enjoyable life, i had fun maintaining it but it will be obsolete as of today.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your support so far, the script was very cool.
I think it's not so obsolet as you think, because the pure OX is done by the package
but all the other things (cyrus, postfix etc.) must be done too.

So it would be nice, if you could provide the script furthermore,
reduced of the OX installation it self (respective: with apt-getting of OX instead of compiling...).

I would love it ...

It was always fun to start your script, lean back and watch things working ;-)
As I'm used it so far, I'm now a little bit confused of all the other things to do...

greetings and thanks for your good work,

frosch

new script ??

another idea:

maybe it's possible to create a script without OX,
just for all the other needs to run OX sucessfull.
(As a kind of a "helper-script")

I don't know how others feel, but for me,
installing a fetchmail or a postfix maybe easy
but for the fine tuning (SSL, Sieve a.s.o.)
I lack some skills and if I look to the topics
in the installation thread of the last days,
I'm not alone.
Such a script could imho recuce the
trouble questions in the installation thread,
so our experts could do "right" work:
making a very good peace of software
even better....


greetings,

Hi Martin, Hi everyone...
I have a severe problem here...
i was trying to finally update our little problem-child we have...
so i updated using your "howto update an old CVS version"
everything went very fine until here:
/opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -c 1 -i 4 --imaplogin testuser -A oxadmin -P secret
now brings me following error
user 4 in context 1 could not be changed:
Server response:
com.openexchange.admin.rmi.exceptions.PoolExceptio n: DBP-0001 Category=5
Message=Cannot get connection to config DB. exceptionID=312325054-13


I understand that the -A oxadmin -P secret seems to be the problem...but i know that i put the right password in the /opt/open-xchange/sbin/oxinstaller line before...
but i recognized then that it said something about "*** RMI authentication is enabled" and that it would use "oxadminmaster as master account"

not oxadmin anymore ?
RMI ?
please help me, as i think this cannot be a big problem..
the db still works with the backup of the old open-xchange installation... so thats not the problem...

For further investigation this is my open-xchange-admin.log.0 from today:

Thanx Sascha

solved !

solved !
I had some fuzz with wrong passwords...
But now i have this little problem...
Some files cant be reached through a webdav-client (konqueror, davfs2, webdrive), it says "file not found" when i klick on it, but if i login to the web-gui, i can download the file and open it very well...

Do you have an idea how to correct this ?

Thank you
Sascha

Here's some log that my webdrive client gives out, when trying to access one of those files...as i said...i can open the same file very well through the web-gui of ox !
http://pastebin.com/m23eba93e

I think the relevant part is this:
Download Failed
Unable to download \TESTFIRMA\Daten\Test 2006\privat\Testdatei.doc
Error=404 Not Found

Hello,

is there any additional documentation, describing which additional software is needed, and steps have to be done? I'm trying to get it running with openSuSE 11.1, postfix & cyrus, and especially those two ones need some special handling due to the mysql stuff.

Thanks in advance!
(And sorry that I did my posting on the non-community-edition area.)

Hi,

thanks for the report, we already mentioned that the cvs server is a bit broken at the moment. We'll fix it. Until then, you could use the installation packages: http://www.open-xchange.com/wiki/ind...dition_Debian4
