Scalix Forums

Since upgrading to 11.4.5 I have been unable to logon to mobile mail. I keep getting "An error occurred: Unknown error (A00000)".

I'm running Community Edition on openSUSE 11.0. I've tried to uninstall but am unsuccessful. I keep the the following in the installer log:
2009-08-31 21:52:11,702 ERROR Exception reading /etc/opt/scalix/instance.cfg:
2009-08-31 21:52:11,703 ERROR Could not find scalix-server instances.
2009-08-31 21:52:11,704 ERROR Pre-uninstall function discover_instances failed $
2009-08-31 21:52:11,704 ERROR Aborting uninstall

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

TIA
James

Strange situation - I can logon to the mobile client but if I try to send from it I get the A00000 error. Sligthly different situation to yours but thought I would add it to this case.

Plus I see these errors in the httpd log:

modsecurity is not an apache module configured by default; it seems that this optional module must be configured to allow the specific types of HTTP requests that ActiveSync is using.

On a default Red Hat/CentOS installation, the module isn't even present/installed on the system.

Best,
Florian.

rpm -qa |grep http
httpd-tools-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386
httpd-manual-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386
httpd-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386
system-config-httpd-1.4.4-1.fc8.noarch
jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.1-0jpp.1.fc9.i386
# rpm -qa |grep apache

This returns nothing - I don't see a separate module installed for modsecurity?

There is nothing in the Installation manual about any pre-requisites for httpd. Can you identify anything from the above that you think should not be there? Like the httpd-tools perhaps as I don't have that on my server?

well, the messages from your log clearly state that mod_security is working. i don't know whether it was installed through the RPM system or manually.

is this red hat or suse? if red hat, can you post the output of


Our prereqs are a default OS apache installation of the supported OS versions. Which, to my best knowledge, do not include mod_security.
