Scalix Services aborting

[wheelc]

Hello,

I have just installed the latest ersion of community edition on Fedora FC4. My question is related to the Scalix services that appear in an aborted state:

1) Sendmail Interface - Permanently shown as stopped in SAC
2) Item Structure Server - As above
3) Directory Synchronisation - As Above
4) Application Link Server - As above

I must state that all appears to be working well i.e. mail is going out and coming in from both external and internal sources.

1&2 concern me as I would expect them to be up and startable.

3&4 do not becuase I am not synchronising to a directory and only have one instance of scalix running.

Can you explain why sendmail and the item structure server will not stay up?

Will send any information that you need.

Kind Regards

Chris

1) Sendmail Interface - Permanently shown as stopped in SAC
2) Item Structure Server - As above
3) Directory Synchronisation - As Above
4) Application Link Server - As above

The Application Link Server is always stopped. It's a legacy feature that should be being removed in the next version. You can run the command

Code: Select all

omsetsvc -i applink

to remove it from the list.

Sendmail Interface ( which is really the Scalix-to-Scalix transport interface ) is only available in the Enterprise Edition because Community Edition only allows for a single server.
Similarly, Directory Synchronisation is disabled because, if you can't talk to another Scalix server, there's no reason to have it running.

Item Structure Server is a feature available for message store recovery. We have a technote in the knowledgebase but implementing it requires some planning which is why we disable it on installation.

Cheers

Dave.
