404 in OX Installation

[averlon]

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.

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.

anyone to give me a hint?

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.php?title=Open-Xchange_Installation_Guide_for_Debian_6.0_622#Installing_Open-Xchange_Update_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!

Karl-Heinz
