404 in OX Installation

[averlon]

Hi,

I am new to OX and have tried to install but get an error 404 if I try to login.

Steps:

I have installed OX based on packages of the repository on an Ubuntu system:

deb http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/6.22/frontend/DebianSqueeze/ /
deb http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/6.22/backend/DebianSqueeze/ /
deb http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/6.22/usm/DebianSqueeze/ /

Installed packages are:

open-xchange
open-xchange-admin
open-xchange-appsuite
open-xchange-appsuite-backend
open-xchange-appsuite-l10n-en-us
open-xchange-appsuite-manifest
open-xchange-authentication-database
open-xchange-authorization-standard
open-xchange-core
open-xchange-grizzly
open-xchange-gui
open-xchange-gui-l10n
open-xchange-gui-l10n-en-us
open-xchange-gui-loading-theme-default
open-xchange-gui-login-theme-default
open-xchange-gui-themes-default
open-xchange-halo
open-xchange-imap
open-xchange-l10n-en-us
open-xchange-oauth
open-xchange-osgi
open-xchange-smtp
open-xchange-xerces-sun

The general document I followed was:

http://http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index...pdate_packages

Once I try to login to the webpage I get:

[01/Jun/2014:15:19:21 +0200] "POST /ajax/login?action=login&modules=true&client=com.openexchange.ox.gui.dhx
19xtml&version=6.22.6%20Rev13&authId=5b6635ff-4c39-478d-b5c9-168e7fc4b45f HTTP/1.1" 404 501 "http://openx.av.loc/ox6/ox.html" "Mox1.
5)xzilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0"

The documentation says I would have to change some apache config.

This also includes the statement:

<Location /webservices>

This means to me based on my apache knowledge there should be a directory "webservices" under the apache document root - but there is none.

I probably have missed to install a package or something else.

Can someone please give me a hint!

Hard to tell.
1. the 404 looks strange. Seems that the api (/ajax) path is not configured or available.
You should post your proxy_http.conf probably.

Also /webservices is not a real path on your webserver. It's directly passed to the application server and handled from there.

Hi Wolfgang,

I have replied twice on your message but this seem to stuck in the approval queue of the admins.

Meanwhile I have found out the root cause of all the trouble.

But I need to tell a little bit more to show the way I had to go.

Due to some other reason, I have setup a new ubuntu server. Clean installation. Just for testing.

After that was done, I decided to install OX on this server to see if this will work.

What shall I say: It worked.

This gave me the impression, on my original server, there would be something configured totally wrong, although it worked for all components I had installed except OX.

Now, I took a heavy decision: Drop the server and setup the server from skratch. To be honest, not such a big deal since it is no production environment and not so many components are installed.

Result: Everything worked, except OX.

And now I give to all of you the root cause I found out. Watch out!!!!!!!

File permissions on "/etc/apache2/conf-available/proxy_http.conf" were wrong, but apache did not complain about. And therefore port 8009 was not active since the config was not loaded.

Anyhow. It now works.
