Error "No server registered with name" when creating context

[its]

Hello,

I installed OX in Suse 10.3 and followed all the installation steps more than once now, but I can not pass the create context step.

When I execute /opt/open-xchange/sbin/createcontext I get "No server registered with name=server" as error.
In fact I registered a server called "openxchange" while doing /opt/open-xchange/sbin/registerserver.

"server" is one of the host names entered in the /etc/hosts file.

Does anybody have any idea how to proceed?

In installation guide I read "In detail i. e., --servername should not be a
machine/DNS name as it is an OX internal name used to identify OX systems." thats why I have exlicitly choosen a different name.

Many thanks.
Its

Either you need to specify the oxadmin master account and it's credentials or you need to disable master authentication in /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/AdminDaemon.properties.

The admin master account has been created by the oxinstaller using the arguments --master-user and --master-pass

[its]

I tried if with both specifing --master-user and --master-pass and disabled master authenication with same result - no difference to before.

When I register a server called "server" I get a different error

Server response:
 com.openexchange.admin.rmi.exceptions.PoolException: DBP-0002 Category=8 Message=Resolving database for context 1 and server 2 not possible! exceptionID=-456673299-34

I tried other groupware installations before but on non I spent so much time to get it installed. I'm nearly close to give up. Nevertheless the support is good here.

Thanks so far.

Hello,

I think it is the same error we discussed here already before. Sometimes the key "SERVER_NAME" in "<ox6-dir>/etc/system.properties" is not right set. Then it is for OX6 not possible to get the right values from the database. Hopefully I am right and your probs are gone.

Hi

seems to be something different ... I tried both names, synchonized names in these settings ... but no difference.

I'm giving up for now ... concentrate on some other work ... maybe I try later again.

Thanks for your help.

Every open-xchange installation requires to register

1. an ox server
2. a database
3. a filestore

When 1. does not work, nothing else will work.
The server name must be the same as set in /opt/open-xchange/etc/{admindaemon,groupware}/system.properties.

The password and account name specified for any of register{server,database,filestore} must be the same as set using oxinstaller.
