Installation on FC6

[Luke512]

Hello

are there any experiences with installation scalix on fc6?

i have to install a new server and thougt about to use fc6 instead of fc5, so i would like to know if scalix work on that platform

[eM]

No, but fedora 7...

[Luke512]

I Think if it runs under FC7 it might work on FC6...am i wright?

[eM]

Maybe...I'm not sure because I've directly updated my fedora core 5 to fedora 7

But it should be possible...

Are you upgrading your system or is it a fresh installation?

[Luke512]

it will be a fresh installation

[eM]

Note: I'm not responsable for any damage on your system, if you do this it's your own risk!

okay, that's easy...

do you have the option to try it on a virtual machine first?

first at all...you need to rename the name of the release, you will find the file in /etc
named fedora-release

with

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fedora-release

you should get somthinge like this: Fedora Core 6 (Zod)

replace this line with Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux)

Now you are able to start the scalix-installer...

After the installation you should rename fedora-release again.

thanks for the info..i just did it on centos in this way..there you have to replace it with RHEL 4 and it worked

maybe i try it that way

Tried this, the exact line is:
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)

fresh installation on F7, it's not working, the installer crashes trying to setup Tomcat:

Code: Select all

Going to try on CentOS 5 ... better for server anyway
