Scalix Forums

I read in an forum entry that other people installed scalix 11 on opensuse 10.3 and that they used a version-override feature. But i did not found how to use it!
Can you please explain me, how to use this feature or another way to install scalix 11 on oss 10.3?

You need to start the install with the override option. For example, to install Scalix 11 on an CentOS 5 server I started the installer like this:



I don't know what override parameter you need for OpenSuse 10.3.

Hope this helps,

You can get a list of supported ids with

./scalix-installer --show-release-ids

However, having said that, Scalix is not tested on OpenSuse 10.3, and as such may very well break / misbehave. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

I would really recommend not running a production server on what Scalix considers a testing distro.

the --override-release=suse102 worked. The installation started. But when checking the dependcies, i get always the info that, "libical-dvel" would not be installed. I checked it with rpm -qa and saw, that the installed versions are as follows:

libical-devel-0.24.RC4-143
libical-debuginfo-0.24.RC4-143
libical-0.24.RC4-143

i don't know, why the scxalix-installer says that no libical-devel is available!?

Probably because it does not have a corresponding matching version for this OS.


I strongly suggest to look at CentOS 5.

you can possibly work around the libical thing by installing the libical rpm manually - it is in the 3rd-party directory of the tarball. this should certainly work.

however, as said, some other things might not - we have not done any testing with openSUSE 10.3. I agree with what was said - the likeliness that you don't have any issues with centos is much higher.

as a side remark, we'll support centos for evaluation and community edition in scalix 11.3, with full support for the commercial versions planned for 11.4.

cheers,
Florian.
