Scalix Forums

Hi all!

I wanted to upgrade Scalix 10 to 11 and there goes much wrong...
Now I'm at a point where I only want to rescue the emails from the scalix directorys...

Is there a possibility to export my emails without an existing scalix installation?
Or can you tell me another way which you prefer?

Thx!

So let me see if I understand. Have you already updated the 10 box to 11, without a backup of the 10 box?? Scalix 11 makes a ton of changes to the message store and recovery of the mailboxs from 10 is tough, and is not possible to go back. If you can get /var/opt/scalix or it might have been moved /var/opt/scalix/s if so then you can run the install again.

A little more info in regards to your situation would help better troubleshoot the problem

Okay...

I've had run Scalix 10.0.5 on Centos4...
Yes I have got a backup of this box, but to restore this I need a running version of scalix server...
So now I've removed all Scalix packages and reinstalled Scalix 10.
(I also installed postfix to receive emails during this "downtime")
Now I have new problems to start scalix correctly -.-

In my opinion I think I reinstall Scalix 10... looks if it works fine... copy back the directory /var/opt/scalix... start scalix and copy/export/move the mails

After I started scalix I see that 50% of the services won't start...



There are more worms inside




I hope you understand what I want, becaus my bad english...

is the machine the same name, ip as the old one??

yes it's the same machine...

When you reinstalled version 10, BEFORE trying to copy your data back, were all services running?

hi doug

no... this "screen" shows the running services after a fresh install...
at the moment i only want my mails back... (for example copy them wiith thunderbird) so i don't know if i want use scalix in future...
because there come up to many problems while installing and some missing features... sorry

the imap daemon dont work...

my next question after a correct start => whats with ldap? and whats with the connection between user <=> mailbox?

re

after copy back the /var/opt/scalix directory i get the following error message on start/stop/... scalix with the startscript

[root@srv01 ~]# /etc/init.d/scalix start
omsetsvc : [SYS 13] Permission denied /var/opt/scalix/sys/config

i think its really a problem of permissions which maybe lost on copy...

but i also cant run omcheck -s -d to check rights because of




edit:
i've run the omcheck command on a server of a friend and run the output also on my system...
the "Cannont open..." and "Permission denied" message are "fixed" )

edit:
can you show me your content of /etc/xinet.d/imap?

edit:
now i want to install web access (scalix-installer script)



/var/log/scalix-installer-20070428.log


edit: ^^
nice day... i fix more and more erros by myself
for al other guys: edit /opt/scalix/global/config
there was 2 entrys of servers...
delete the default and it should work


edit: :>
scalix started!!!!!!!!!!!
after: omcheck -s -d > tmp.sh; sh tmp.sh and chown -R scalix /var/opt/scalix/

sac worked with old credentials
webmail not

as my scalix admin user:



as my own user rabbit:




hmmm in SAC i see user rabbit uses ~800mb storage

any ideas?

so i've checked with some other tools these accoutns... for example omlist

only my admin account (admrabbit) got output... "Logged on as admrabbit..."
all other user mailboxes



in my opinion it's a problem with imap or ldap<=>imap...

i tried to connect with thunderbird and webmail but everytime it says that password would be wrong...

when i stop imap service it says that server is down so i think the imap server works fine...

tell me your suggestions!

thank you! and good morning

problem is fixed..
no mails losts

its not a fix for the whole problem but the mails are there and im happy ) )

it should like omlist -u ""Paul Peterson" and not the username


close pls
