Instance ... doesn't exist

[marato]

Hello all,

When following the manual installation wiki I ran into the next problem:
Almost at the end of the wiki, where it says to restart tomcat, I type

/etc/init.d/scalix-tomcat restart

Terminal returns:
Error: Instance mailserver doesn't exist

This is how my /opt/scalix/global/config file looks like:

OMNAME=mailserver
OMHOSTNAME=mailserver.internetstarters.nl
OMDATADIR=/var/opt/scalix/mr/s
OMAUTOSTART=TRUE

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,

[Valerion]

Do a ls /var/opt/scalix/mr/s and ls /var/opt/scalix/mr for me please?

Hello,

This is the outcome of ls /var/opt/scalix/mr/s:

acl dir logs plugin rules.eg toupper
admin dirchlog msglists pmove.store scan.serv trace
bb dits msgpool pop3 scan.work user
cda ds nits queues se webusers
Copyright indexwork nls release.cst structdb xport.hold
csetconv is notifs release.sys structlog
data lic notify release.tou sys
dblogs License oldDbLogs req temp

And this the outcome of ls /var/opt/scalix/mr:

postgres s

Hope you can help me out!

Thanks,

Something missing in those files or what?
Anyone ideas?

What does "/etc/opt/scalix/instance.cfg" contain?

There is a lot of stuff missing in the root of your mail instance (/var/opt/scalix/mr). Mine is as follows:

I would suggest you stop Scalix, then use the installer to uninstall everything except the server (or if you do the server, remember to keep the mailstore), then re-install so all the relevant config files can be created for you.
