Hi All,
I've just tried a fresh install on scalix 11.0.2.1 on a virgin Operating System (Fedora Core 5), and it failed with the following log entry:

Code: Select all

Any idea why?

Hi!

The tag OMHOSTNAME at line 3 contains no value.', 'The entry OMHOSTNAME=[value] must be present to complete a group of entries for mail.', 'ERROR: Unable to determine current package'

Can you send the contents of the file /etc/hosts? What is the result of the command
"rpm -qa | grep scalix" and "java -version"?

Thanks,
Subir

Hi!

Can you access webmail or SWA, whats the result for "omstat -a" and "omstat -s"? The
installer log seems to be incomplete.

Thanks,
Subir

Code: Select all

[root@backupmail ~]# omstat -a
[OM 28506] Which Scalix Server system?
[root@backupmail ~]# omstat -s
[OM 28506] Which Scalix Server system?
[root@backupmail ~]#


I can't access webmail or SAC, as scalix doesn't appear to be started:

Code: Select all

[root@backupmail ~]# /etc/init.d/scalix start
[OM 28506] Which Scalix Server system?
The tag OMHOSTNAME at line 3 contains no value.
The entry OMHOSTNAME=[value] must be present to complete a group of entries for mail.
ERROR: Unable to determine current package
[root@backupmail ~]#

Apache doesn't appear to have been reconfigured by the Scalix installer, either. I get a 404 when I attempt to access either /sac or /webmail.

Hi!

The error OM 28506 indicates:
[root@subir-rhel4 ~]# omsolve -n OM 28506
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Group: OM Error Number: 28506

Which Scalix system? Please set the environment variable OMCURRENT
to the desired Scalix machine.

This error indicates that a global configuration file for Scalix
was present but the particular system referred to in this session
could not be determined.

The most common cause of this problem is that the environment
variable OMCURRENT is not set or is set incorrectly.

Another possible cause could be that the Global configuration file
has become corrupt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@subir-rhel4 ~]#


Can you logoff and login again and try to run the commands in previous post.
What are the contents of the file /opt/scalix/global/config?

Thanks,
Subir
