Get stuck when starting open-xchange-groupware deamon

[Martin Heiland]

You obviously haven't heard of Schrodinger's Cat...

Nope, not since it's dead...

Keep in mind: If you shut down a service, it is not running anymore.

anyway, i admit that i'm a linux n00b. thanks for your help.

Er... ok, this are some basics about linux services...

When you call the open-xchange-groupware script, the groupware is powered on, it does not hang or anything, there is just no output to the console. This is when you get "WebDAV Version: 0" which indicates that every thing is working. If you CTRL+C the open-xchange-groupware script, the groupware will be killed which gives you this 503 errors. I suppose you want to put the groupware service as a background service. Just append a " &" to the open-xchange-groupware command to start it in the background.

Keep in mind: If you shut down a service, it is not running anymore.

Greetings.

from http://my-server/servlet/webdav.version i now get:

WebDAV: 0

Before i was getting 503 after ctrl-c when /opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware just hangs there like this:

root@fsn-org-xc:/# /opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware
/opt/open-xchange /

if i leave it like that i now get: WebDAV: 0
...

the only errors i see are those ajax ones.

workers.properties:
worker.ajp13_worker.port=8009
worker.ajp13_worker.host=localhost
worker.ajp13_worker.type=ajp13

[Martin Heiland]

Does the open-xchange.log.0 tells you anything interesting at the moment the 503 occurs?
Does mod_jk use the same port as the groupware (8009)?

only error i get in /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log is:

[Wed Jul 25 13:48:30 2007] [19210:38592] [error] ajp_service::jk_ajp_common.c (1794): Error connecting to tomcat. Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong port. worker=ajp13_worker failed

sorry ox.conf pointed to wrong workers.properties. i now get login screen at http://my-server
and the following at http://my-server/servlet/webdav.version :

[B]Service Temporarily Unavailable[/B]

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
[I]Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) mod_jk/1.2.18 PHP/5.2.1 Server at 192.168.0.230 Port 80[/I]

it's a 503 so gotta search for mod_jk error...

[Martin Heiland]

The open-xchange installer does not change anything at you apache configuration. The Build process of the GUI just copies the GUI to /var/www by default after building it. I suppose this is something distribution specific and you should start by debugging services like apache/modjk and so on. Please make sure that tomcat is not running when using open-xchange.

Hi MArtin,

No, I can't access http://my-server/servlet/webdav.version - it times out.

After open-xchange installation i cannot acces root of server at http://my-server

Apache works though, as I get a "It Work's" at http://my-server/apache2-default/

Hi,

those ajax errors are about the missing classes for the admin gui which is not yet available at the public CVS. But these warnings do not create any problems from my experience, they are just missing plugins.

The posted logfile does not show up anything critical as far as i can see.

curVV, are you able to access the servlets? Just try to browse to:

http://your-server/servlet/webdav.version

This should bring up some WebDAV information, if it brings up some kind of 503 or 404 error there's a problem with the apache configuration (mod_jk)

Hi, I'm having same problem:

root@fsn-org-xc:/var/log/open-xchange# /opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware
/opt/open-xchange /var/log/open-xchange

I see some AJAX errors in the open-xchange.log.0 file. don't really know what it all means. please have a look....

Sorry, now I see the error on login page

split has no properties
makeSplitCallback(undefined, " bottom ", false)global.js (line 3133)
initAll2(login())global.js (line 3227)
(no name)()global.js (line 2361)

(no name)()global.js (line 2379)
[Break on this error] var parent = split.parentNode;

I downloaded the new source files for open-xchange, admindeamon and GUI from CVS, build them and now I'm geting 503 error, service temporarily unavailable, when I'm trying to log in.. It doesn't seems to be any JS error on the login page.

[Martin Heiland]

Mh, ok then this error is fixed in CVS. Does some kind of JS error occur when loading the page? Try firebug (www.getfirebug.com) which is a nice debugging tool for js/html/css.
