Installation in OSS 10.1 vserver

[martin.zeug]

Hi everybody,
I have a scalix 11.0.1 running in OSS 10.1 now I would like to update to 11.0.4. But while installation checks the system I get:

Code: Select all

Network check failed -- (1, 'Operation not permitted')

The debug logfile shows:

Code: Select all

2007-06-04 13:16:22,051 INFO Network interface is eth0:scalix
2007-06-04 13:16:22,053 DEBUG Checking DHCP for interface eth0:scalix
2007-06-04 13:16:22,232 DEBUG Found IPs: ['192.168.100.12'] (scalix.domain.local)
2007-06-04 13:16:22,234 ERROR Operation failed: Network check failed -- (1, 'Operation not permitted')


In this forum I found this code:

Code: Select all

import socket

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_PACKET,socket.SOCK_RAW)
s.bind(("eth0:scal", 9999))
mac = s.getsockname()[-1]
s.close()
print ":".join(["%02x" % ord(x) for x in mac])


which should be the code used for this check. and by running this code with

Code: Select all

 python test.py

with this code inside I get the same Error.
But I don't have any idea how to solve this problem.

Has anybody an idea how to solve it?

Many thanks

Hi Martin!

Can you look at the file /opt/scalix/global/config and, in particular, the OMHOSTNAME value.

You need to be able to do a lookup on that hostname as it stands for things to work
successfully. If you can't do a lookup on it, replace it with the FQDN of the server and
restart Scalix.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Subir

Hi I found the config file:

Code: Select all

OMNAME=scalix
OMHOSTNAME=scalix.domain.local
OMDATADIR=/var/opt/scalix/sx/s
OMAUTOSTART=TRUE


and the nslookup:

Code: Select all

scalix:/opt/scalix/global # nslookup scalix.domain.local
Server:         192.168.100.1
Address:        192.168.100.1#53

Name:   scalix.domain.local
Address: 192.168.100.12


this works great, so everything should work. I think the reason is the virtual network interface used from vserver.

Hi Martin!

For Virtual network interface to be used with Scalix, see if the following post helps and if
you get some hints:

Keep me posted.
