Scalix Forums

Hi All,

I'm building a Scalix VM using Ubuntu 6.06. The system is headless and therefore no X.

I'm following the Manual Installation procedure here: http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... _Selection

Everything was going very well (great instructions!) until I hit the section on " Setting up Scalix-Postgres (Scalix 11 only)" (Yes, I am installing Scalix 11.)

There are three script commands in this section:


The first and last commands work as expected, but attempting to set the database password (the second command) fails.

If I attempt to run it as root I get the following error:


If I attempt to execute the script as a normal user, I get this error:



I am attempting to run the command from the /opt/scalix-postgres/bin directory as:



Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

Make sure the postgres server is properly running

on my machine

Will do, thanks. I would have thought it was running because the other commands excute successfully, however I didn't actually get into the script to look. Perhaps the swtpwd command is the only one of those commands that actually talks to the DB.

I'll give this a whirl when I get back to my VM and post the results.

Hi all,
I installed Scalix 11 on open SuSE 10.2. Everything is fine so far - but when I try this

I get something like (I get it in german):


Any ideas, what went wrong. I just installed the SuSE rpms.


Thank you

At this point, we haven't validated the manual install instructíons for non-debian platforms.

For SuSE-based systems, we recommend using openSUSE 10.1 and just run the installer. This will get you going in less than 10 minutes.

Otherwise, your main problem might not be what you're looking at right now but the fact that the server binaries have not been compiled on a openSUSE 10.2 system yet und you might run into trouble there.

Your particular issue is caused by the fact that the debian deb-package postinst script for scalix-postgres creates the database. it uses something like sxpsql-initdb for this. The RPM doesn't and the command is called by the installer when that's being used.
