Scalix on CentOS5

[Subhanjan]

Hi,
I am new to this software when I am trying to install SCALIX in CentOS5 I am getting this error.

Error: unsupported OS release: CentOS release 5 (Final) on x86_64

Please suggest.

Thanks.

I am getting this error also but my states:

Error: unsupported OS release: CentOS release 5 (Final) on i386

I didnt know which one to download so i chose this version. I am in the process of downloading the other version too but from the looks of this thread, thats a waste of time. Is there something i need to alter to get 11.1.0 to work on CentOS 5?

After you install the O/S copy the file /etc/redhat-release for backup

remove all the lines

It should say

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant)

Then it should install just fine. You should then switch it back so you can receive updates.

CentOS in not supported though!!

You should just edit the file to read

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Note that with version 11.1, scalix-installer supports 2 new options :

To get a list of release IDs for supported platforms do :

Code: Select all

   ./scalix-installer --show-release-ids | grep -v 'Scalix Installer'


At present, the ouput is :

rhel4, rhel5, sles10, rhel3, sles9, suse101, fc5

If your platform isn't listed, you can do an un-supported install, selecting what you believe to be the closest fit. For instance :

Code: Select all

   ./scalix-installer  --override-release=rhel5
