Scalix 11.2.0 on opensuse 10.3 - 64 vs. 32 bit & DNS err

[lbfguy]

Hello everyone,

I am currently attempting to install Scalix on my opensuse system. Since the 10.3 release is currently not supported by Scalix, I downloaded the release suitable for suse 10.2 (scalix-11.2.0-GA-core-suse102-intel.tgz) and set, according to a hint i read in this forum, the version-override option.

So far so good, the installation is starting, but when it comes to the system check, the following errors occur:

- He does not like my 64 bit versions of several tools (like cyrus-sasl-plain), he would prefer the 32 bit version instead. I am running a 64 bit processor and therefore I have a 64bit-opensuse system running - so how (and why) would I replace those applications with 32 bit versions?

- DNS problem: I have a DNS server running, the hostname is <domainname>.com, the same applies for DHCP and host name settings. Still, the installation returns an error (No IP for hostname found, 127.0.0.2 (... sorry, cannot recall the complete error)). Maybe you still get the idea and can tell me what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings

Hello,
you have to install the 32-bit versions in addition to the 64-bit versions of the tools.
( I think they are on the installation CD of Opensuse)

DNS: You have to give yout system an IP-adress and an hostname (not from DHCP)

thank you for your reply!

concerning dns: actually i gave the system a hostname and ip. any further ideas?

Make sure (double check) that DNS resolves both forward (A record) and reverse (PTR record). And check your hosts file to ensure it has the same information.

Thanks for your reply.

In order to ensure the correctness of the A and PTR RR, I should have BIND or something similar installed, right?

Preferably. Working DNS makes your life a lot easier with other systems as well, even in a very small setup.
