webmail and sac aliases not working [SOLVED]

I did a back-handed upgrade (I admit it). My message store was on /home/scalix, and linked in as /var/opt/scalix. I wiped CentOS 4.6 and installed 5.1, then installed Scalix 11.3 using the CLI. I had some trouble with the whole "inconsistency" thing till I found a post about `ompatchom'. That got things working. Now, I have the system working with the Outlook plugin just fine.

The problem I'm having is that the webmail and sac aliases are not working on the server. I'm running the stock CentOS apache (for a couple of web sites on the machine). The "wap" alias is working; I can download some XML file from that. I just can't figure why the other two aliases are broken. I'm not good with Java (yet...), so I'm having trouble understanding how these aliases get pulled into the Apache config, so I can't troubleshoot it.

At the end of the day, the whole reason I upgraded was to get the webcal stuff working, so I need that too. I want ALL the web services I can get! (The point is to get iCal on a Mac syncing with the server so that people can take their calendar with them on their iPhone. I guess I'm assuming on track for this. Can anyone speak to this? Maybe I'm wasting my time anyway...)

Thanks for a great product!

I found the problem. In /etc/httpd/conf.d/scalix-tomcat-connector.conf, the include line was "/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-*". The files in /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/ are actually named "app-server2.?.conf", so I changed up the include line to be *.conf, and everything started working again.

I suspect, as I indicated before, that this is a result of doing the upgrade as I did. Had the files already existed in /opt/scalix, perhaps they wouldn't have been overwritten. Perhaps the actual upgrade process would have changed that line for me. I'll never know. ;-)

Dunkirk thanks for the solution.

I too had to change the line "/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-*.conf" to
"/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-*.conf"

Regards, Joost.

Ps. I am using the same configuration and also used a existing message store.
