debian lenny java exception

[mcs]

Dear all,
Tried a new installation of debian lenny from the repositories. Everything seems to wrk fine until I get to :

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/registerdatabase -A oxadminmaster -P admin_master_password \
-n oxdatabase -p db_password -m true

It gives an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.openexchange.admin.rmi.dataobjects.Database.setMaster(Ljava/lang/Boolean;)V
	at com.openexchange.admin.console.util.database.DatabaseAbstraction.parseAndSetMasterAndID(DatabaseAbstraction.java:196)
	at com.openexchange.admin.console.util.database.RegisterDatabase.<init>(RegisterDatabase.java:86)
	at com.openexchange.admin.console.util.database.RegisterDatabase.main(RegisterDatabase.java:97)

I have tried this with both, sun java 1.5.0 as well as Java 6.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much
Michael

Hi,

can you attach the logfiles in

 /var/log/open-xchange/

, please

Maybe we see the culprit there.

Regards,

Dennis

Hello,

I enclose the log files.
Thank you very much again.
Cheers

There are a number of strange things in the log files. First of all there are some ClassNotFoundExceptions for classes which are not part of the release:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.openexchange.admin.ajax.Fetchmail

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.openexchange.admin.ajax.MailServer

There were part of a former release but definitely not part of the current one. So it's hard to believe that this is a fresh install.

Furthermore I see several database issues in the admin log file. So my suggestion would be to do a real fresh setup. Clear all databases, delete all packages, delete content in /opt/open-xchange, if the packager leaves some behind. And then start from scratch following one of the HowTos.

Regards,

Dennis

Hi
I was wondering about that. But I cleared all /opt/open-xchange and did an apt-get remove --purge before that. So there must be more somewhere else. I am not sure what to do, because it seems that postfix and cyrus would not work with the new version anyway so I am sort of buggered. Old version is broken, new version cannot work with email. I have managed to get ox to work on a completely fresh debian, but of course I cannot transfer the email because does not work with the current schemes etc any more.
Great decision to upgrade

Cheers

Michael
