Open-Xchange Community Edition Installer released

That's good!Glad to see it!

Hello community,

First of all: thank you Martin for this great installer tool. It nearly worked perfect on my fresh and clean ubuntu 7.10 (not server).

I think i've had the same problem like nikolai and i probably found the mistake. When installing on a fresh system there's automatically installed mysql. At this time the installer asks you for a master password for your mysql database. If you don't let it blank (if you enter any password), you get this error, because later on the script tries to configure all the databases and stuff without using a password for mysql-root-access. Hope i'm not getting this wrong. But after deactivating the root password for mysql (temporarily ) and rerunning the script everything works fine.

Related question: is there any difference when using the ubuntu 7.10 installer with the non server edition? Are there any known problem related?

Thank you,

regards,


Timo

installer script and oxinstaller

Using the installer script works very nice until it launchs oxinstaller to reach the "setting up system" section. At this point, certificates are not created and various error messages "authentification failed" are displayed .


From earlier posting, it seems that the following change may help:


Your problem could be due to the bug in oxinstaller. Last night I went through the oxinstaller script, and discovered a few mistakes in the script. You can try the following to see if it solves your authentication issue.

Open /opt/open-xchange/sbin/oxinstaller:
1. Replace alll oxadminmaster with oxadmin
2. Change addmaildomain command parameter from
addmaildomain -A oxadmin -P "$OXDB_PASS"
To:
addmaildomain -A oxadmin -P "$OXADMIN_PASS"
3. Change createcertificate command parameter from
createcertificate -A oxadmin -P "$OXDB_PASS"
To:
createcertificate -A oxadmin -P "$OXADMIN_PASS"
4. Change modifymailconfig command parameter from
modifymailconfig -A oxadmin -P "$OXDB_PASS"
To:
modifymailconfig -A oxadmin -P "$OXADMIN_PASS"

Please note that createcontext command parameter is correct and do not need to be modifiied: createcontext -A oxadmin -P "$OXDB_PASS"

Hi all,

you may wonder why there is currently only a debian installer available - the RAID controller + hard drives crashed and i am currently reconstructing the backup to another machine, hope that it works :]
So far i hosted the debian installer somewhere else but the ubuntu/suse installer is only at the backup (except anyone downloaded it recently and may send it to me via e-mail).

Thanks.

Hi,

A valid feature request, this one is on my list now

Thanks for the feedback!

Configuration of tmp/build folder

Hi Martin,
It could be usefull to add the possibility to choose the tmp/build folder at one place for example the SRC_DIR param instead of having it hard coded at 26 places.
Thanks for your very good installer.

Hi there,

i recently updated the Community Edition Installer, now providing a option to chose whether to build from "HEAD" (unstable, development) or the current BF branch (stable).

Please note:
- HEAD contains the latest source code and is the current stage of development progress
- HEAD contains very nice and new features which are more or less implemented (equinox/osgi implementation on server side, redesigned GUI and so on)
- HEAD contains untested code which is under heavy development and may not build correctly
- If you are a developer, chose HEAD and you're on the same code level as the OX core developers

- BF contains more stable source code which should build successfully every day - otherwise please file a bug report
- BF contains not all the latest features compared to the HEAD branch
- If you are not a developer and do not rely to the latest and greatest code, chose BF.

Unfortunately there are two obvious bugs at the BF branch, but i am confident they will be fixed very soon:
http://bugs.open-xchange.com/cgi-bin...g.cgi?id=10140 (fixed by always checking out HEAD)
http://bugs.open-xchange.com/cgi-bin...g.cgi?id=10141 (fixed)

Some repositories like open-xchange-console-ee and json-jdk15 are only available at the "HEAD" and should be checked out there.


Greetings.

@michael
the compile was on a xen virtual machine with 256MB RAM. With 512MB RAM it worked

@koeberle
which settings for additional memory you change ?

@soccerdad
normaly the script installs all missing libaries and Programms on a plain debian.


Best reguards

Michael

Hi SoccerDad,

compilation now works. The problem was that the javac couldn't allocat additional memory.

Thanks

koeberle: the script was right off Martin's website he posted and as well as the tar ball. The Etch version I used was the network ISO and I selected only standard system during the install.

Micheal: while trying everything, here are a couple more items that I used. Don't know if they are related or not as Java is not my strong suit.

apt-get install ant-gcj ant-optional-gcj libjaxp1.3-java-gcj libxerces2-java-gcj libdate-manip-perl libnet-snmp-perl libxext6 libxi6 libxp6 libxt6 libxtst6 tomcat5.5

 apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre

Hope this helps!
