Installation Failure

[VeyronQ7]

Hi!

Here at the company we use a windows network based on a domain provided by a MS Windows Server 2000 and worksations with MS Windows 2000 and XP.

My email server is a bad server and I decided to give scalix a try even so we don't use linux.

Then I configure 1 pc with Fedora Core 4 and today it's working fine.

I have local area access, the others pc can comunicate with the linux pc and we share folders and files.

I start today the installation of Scalix Comnunity Edition but... it stops :shock:

This is the problem (message from the installer log):

Memory check passed
Filesystem check passed
Network check failed - Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address
Network check failed - IP address associated with host name 'servidor2.protermia.pt' is '127.0.0.1'
Dependecy check warning - The following packages will be installed next to resolve conflicts: libical
Dependency check failed - Please resolve the following package conflicts and re-run the system checks:
libcrypto.so.5 is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libgssapi.krb5.so.2(gassapi_krb5_2_MIT) is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libkrb5.so.3(krb5_3_MIT) is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libssl.so.5 is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
Running services check passed.

Since I'm a newbie in linux can you please help me with this?
I start to find the packages for installation but one needs to another and I'm start to think this was a bad ideia. :cry:

Thanks a lot for any help. Regards.

Network check failed - Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address
Network check failed - IP address associated with host name 'servidor2.protermia.pt' is '127.0.0.1'

These errors mean that the installer tried to look up the IP address in DNS and couldn't find it. Worse yet, the only address it could find is 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Edit your /ets/hosts file and put in the ip address of the system and the hostname. Also, if this is going to be your companies mail server, you really need to add it to DNS.

Dependecy check warning - The following packages will be installed next to resolve conflicts: libical

This just means that there is a conflict and RPM is going to resolve it for you.

Dependency check failed - Please resolve the following package conflicts and re-run the system checks:
libcrypto.so.5 is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libgssapi.krb5.so.2(gassapi_krb5_2_MIT) is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libkrb5.so.3(krb5_3_MIT) is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386
libssl.so.5 is needed by scalix-server-10.0.0.175-1.fc4.i386

You should go through the installation guide and read the section on prerequisits. It lists all of the packages that you need to have installed. Having never used FC, I'm not sure how it handles dependency checking. However, I believe that the program "yum" will do this.

Two things:

1 - your /etc/hosts has an invalid entry. It should not read 127.0.0.1 servidor.protermia.pt. 127.0.0.1 is ALWAYS localhost. Add another entry containg the ACTUAL IP address of your server (192.168.x.x or whatever).

2 - read the installation guide and the requirements section.

Thanks,

Sascha.

In first place let-me thankyou for the attention and for the rapid answer.

I edit my /etc/host file and this is what's in there:

127.0.0.1 servidor2.protermi.pt servidor2 localhost.localdomain localhost

---
We have a domain named PROTERMIA, also we have fixed IP (213.58.238.14) for webmail access from the exterior, and every computer have it´s own IP. This one where I´m traying to install the scalix is 10.1.1.101.

The inputs I gave to the windows workstation are these:

IP. 10.1.1.x
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
Gateway. 10.1.1.100
DNS. 195.245.128.2
DNS. 195.245.128.3 (alternative)

Our windows server pc that runs the domain is 10.1.1.1.

So, I don't now what to do. Can you please write me what should I put in /etc/host

Please? I will be very appreciate.

Best regards,

PS - Forgive my english... I'm portuguese.

Your /etc/hosts should look something like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
10.1.1.101 servidor2.protermi.pt servidor2

You will also need to make an entry in your Windows DNS server to resolve 10.1.1.101 to servidor2.protermi.pt and a reverse lookup of servidor2.protermi.pt to 10.1.1.101. I could not even begin to tell you how to do this on Windows.

Ok, thankyou a lot.

I will post here my advances in this process.

I know I will get Scalix working ;)

Hi,

If your FC4 machine is listed in your DNS server, comment out the line in your /etc/hosts file and then try to put the address of your dns server into /etc/resolv.conf file.

Here is a sampe resolv.conf file:

search yourdomain.com
nameserver 10.17.64.4
nameserver 10.17.64.3

Then you have to make sure that your DNS server has reverse look up configured for the ip address.

On FC4 the command line to get those missing packages will look like this

yum install openssl krb5-libs cyrus-sasl-gssapi

Hope that helps,
