PostgreSQL problem brought back in 11.0.1

Just a note for the devs and those of you who may be installing 11.0.1 via the cmd line...

There is an old problem from back in Scalix 11 beta 2, that was fixed, that appears to have brought itself back to life.

Referencing this post this problem was fixed previously, and I know it was fixed as I did many test upgrades with Scalix 11GA and didn't run into this. I only did one test install with 11.0.1 and didn't run into it, but I used the graphical installer that time.

If you use the text installer to install Scalix 11.0.1 on a RHEL4 (well, in my case, CentOS 4.4) you get a PostgreSQL error during the install:

Code: Select all

Configuring PostgreSQL...
Fatal error occured: Msg: An error occurred configuring Web applications -- check the log for errors.

and this in the installation log:

Code: Select all

WARNING Could not determine PostgreSQL whitelist, OK.
INFO Configuring PostgreSQL...
ERROR Operation failed: Failed to initialize the PostgreSQL database.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran into the same problem. After some research into the problem I decided to try it with the GUI installer, so I VNC'd into the server and uninstalled/reinstalled using the GUI installer, and everything went through fine.

For the devs, here are my installed PostgreSQL packages:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qa | grep postgres
postgresql-libs-8.1.4-1.centos.1
compat-postgresql-libs-3-4.c4.centos
postgresql-server-8.1.4-1.centos.1
scalix-postgres-11.0.1.22-1
postgresql-8.1.4-1.centos.1
postgresql-python-8.1.4-1.centos.1

P.S. It might be worthy to note that after installing it, I am unable to access sac and webmail, but I am still troubleshooting that problem...

this might point to the root cause of your other problem. the postgres install was not changed between 11.0.0 and 11.0.1
