Hi,

It seems issue lies with the hostname resolution, please check /etc/hosts file for properly configured hostname with domain name . It should look like:



I found a similar issue while searching on forum, where installation fails due to improper hostname configuration. See if it helps

Hope this helps!!

I not desperated because some stuf seems to be working. For example, I can acces to the Rules Wizard //Scalix/rw) and log in, but I'n unable to have the SWA (/swa) or the /webmail. I guess those last two need to acces the database, wich obviously doesn't exisit.

I also tired to run the Database creation scripts: (http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... stallation)

cd /opt/scalix-postgres/bin
./sxpsql-init
./sxpsql-setpwd mypassword # This is a database password you select
./sxpsql-whitelist 127.0.0.1

but doesn't seems to change anything

I suggest uninstalling all 8 of the components listed below. After they have been uninstalled please make sure that /var/opt/scalix/instance_initials/postgres and /opt/scalix-postgres are deleted. Then re-install those components.

Regards,
Don
