Scalix Forums

Scalix documentation says it supports Redhat Enterprise 4.0 and Fedora FC5 ...
I installed Scalix over CentOS 4.5 without problems, I wonder if someone has done it without problems over CentOS 5.0

So far no hassles

Did you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file?

I had to do that for installing Scalix 10 on Centos 4.3

I have a Centos 5.0 server all ready to go. All clean.

All I have to do is stop my current server, rsync (or some such) the /var/opt/scalix directory and install Scliax 11. Or at least that is my understanding....

Since 11.1.0 the Scalix installer has a new option so you don't need to swap the redhat-release file any more.

./scalix-installer --override=rhel5 works like a charm on CentOS 5.

Ensure you are preserving ownerships and permissions on the mailstore is preserved correctly.

Are you upgrading from 10? If so, I have seen in 11.1.0 that the upgrade doesn't work 100% in all cases. It would, for example, install the tomcat directory in /var/opt/scalix, then move the contents to /var/opt/scalix/??/s, then generate errors because tomcat isn't there. If this happens, just use the installer to uninstall everything other than the Scalix server, make sure in /var/opt/scalix/?? that only the s directory is there, then re-install using the installer.

Version 10.0.0.354

According to the admin console.

But there ~50 users on the system. Not much in the mail store. Do get occatoinal bad XML spam that I have to unload a users inbox, delete everything then reload it.

This is not clear. uninstall everything BUT Scalix? I hope there is a clear prompt to take me down that path.


Well, I will shot for the best outcome. But first I have to read up more on doing my best in setting up spam control stuff.
