Scalix Forums

We're trying to install Scalix on a p.c. with Suse 9.3 Enterprise edition. The Scalix minimum reuirements call for Python 2.2 or 2.3. We have this on the machine but the install keeps asking for Python-gtk. Where can we get this & anything else Python it may want? We're not Linux gurus but we're not first timers, either. Thanks for any info.

On SuSE, the required package is called python-gtk and is an extension to the Python Language for graphical applications. It is used by our installer. SuSE Pro will come with a version >= 2.x which is good for it. Just use YaST to locate the package and install!

Got it. Now we're getting "non Scalix ldap service is enabled at this runlevel".

well, this is probably what it says. you have some version of OpenLDAP running on your scalix server. as scalix comes with it's own LDAP server, you'll need to disable this or reconfigure it to use a different port number. Disabling should be possible through YaST again.

We are at the point where it is "creating Scalix Message Store" This is taking over 30 minutes. We've got a P4 2.8gh processor. Is this normal to take quite a while for this procedure? Sorry for the "stupid" questions.

The procedure should certainly not take so long, I would expect less than 5 minutes on the system you describe (how much RAM do you have, though?).

So, if it hasn't finished, check the Console window from which you launched the installer - maybe there are more messages there. If not, terminate the Installer, re-run it, if it offers to uninstall, go for Uninstall first, then try to re-install. When reinstalling, try starting the installer with

./scalix-installer --debug

It will produce more debugging output in the console window from which you start it.

In case it hangs again or there are any more problems, please post the output here.

Thanks,
Florian.
