Scalix Forums

I am installing Scalix in a VMWare environment under SLES9 (32 bit). When I run the installer I get:

Error: unsupported OS release: none on i386

Anyone know why this would happen?

Try running the installer with the --cli switch:

./scalix-installer --cli

Thanks,
Don

same result.

Not sure if this will help, but:

# uname -a
Linux mailsrv 2.6.5-7.257-default #1 Mon May 15 14:14:14 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

What does your /etc/SuSE-release file say. Mine says:

SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586)
VERSION = 9

This was from a fresh installation of SLES9. Not sure why yours would be different if it is. If it is different make it read like above. After you've installed and you need to you can change it back to what it was.

I had looked for a /etc/*release file and there wasn't one. I wonder if this install went south :(

Anyways, I created it, and:

I think your Suse release file is either hosed or has the wrong permissions.

My VMWare is running happily under SLES 9, so this must be a local config error.

Sascha.

I become the same problem. If i start the installation ./scalix-installer i become this Error Message.

./scalix-installer

Is there any script which drop the version scan ?

Only the OSS version of SuSe 10 is currently supported. There are posters on the forum who have made scalix run on SuSe 10. You could do a search for it ;)

Do I have to get download SuSE LINUX 10.1 OSS?

SuSE 10.1 is not yet supported. We will provide support for this for Scalix 11.

Got this error message with Scalix 11.0 and SUSE Linux 10.1. Any ideas or solutions?

Please see the post immediately above yours.

well, not quite....

while Scalix 11 will support SuSE OSS 10.1 when it is finally released sometime later this year, the current Scalix 11 Community Edition Preview release hasn't been updated yet to do this, so it still runs on SuSE OSS 10.0 and not yet on 10.1.

This is documented in the Preview's Release Notes.

i have tried with version 11.1.0, 11.2.0, 10.0.5 and it's the same

well, up until scalix 11.2, centos is not a supported OS, so the error message just confirms that. However, there are various ways to get it installed anyway - please search the forum.

Scalix 11.3 will officially support CentOS, so the installer will recognize it as a supported OS.
