Scalix Managment and Webmail setup

Hi,

I am new to Scalix, and have just done a clean installation on a fresh installation of centos. Both the os and scalix are the latest versions.

When trying to access the /sac or /webmail I simply get a 404 error.

I cannot find any information anywhere ( and believe me I have looked ) on how to perform the additional steps required to make these functions work, without which the whole system is totally unusable.

All options in the installation were selected and installed ok.

Are there additional packages to be installed that were not included in the main distribution file ?

Any help would much be appreciated.

Thanks

Stuart.

If it doesn't work you need to check in the installer log what went wrong. There's something on your machine the installer didn't like. All the required packages are in the server download, though.

Thanks for the reply.

Managed to get past the 404 error.

Aparently you have to manually edit the /etc/hosts file to include the local machine fqdn + name, so I can now get a login screen.

However I now have the problem that sxadmin+password does not work.

I get the [seemingly] dreaded:

Could Not Login
Could Not Fetch Server List
Possible problem with administration Server.


This seems to be a very common problem with virtually no answers on how to fix.

Any ideas ?

Did it not warn you about this during the install? Last install I did it actually stopped and wouldn't go through until my hosts file was properly configured.

It seems that I had found an answer to this rather quickly before in the forums. I want to say it had something to with permissions. I think I either had to reinstall part of Scalix or run:
omcheck -s -d >fix_perms.sh
bash ./fix_perms.sh

Good luck.
