Evaluating the Scalix

[janskey]

hi all,

We're evaluating scalix so that we could migrate from our existing messaging sysetm. I need advice on how to implement the scalix. I already finish install the scalix-installer but the problem is it wont display the http://test1.sampledomain.com/sac?authi ... domain.com link after the installation finish. is this a dns problem?

current structure:

internet--->firewall/router--->privatenetwork--->saclix server [private ip address 192.168.1.20]

i just make a domain like sampledomain.com for testing and evaluating up the scalix server..any advice on this matter!

thanks!

Let's simplify things a little.

Can you access http://ip.address.of.server/sac?

Thx,
Florian.

hi florian,

it says "Servcice Temporary Unavailable"...

what are the services that shall i enable?

i just restart the services:
* /etc/init.d/scalix
* /etc/init.d/scalix-tomcat
* /etc/init.d/httpd

any more? thanks!

That's indicative of

a) Tomcat not running (check ps -ef | grep java)
b) mod_jk not functioning properly (check all your Apache server logs)
c) SELinux enabled on your machine

Cheers,
Florian.

hi florian,

i figured it out the problem..it seems the firewall/SELinux has to do something with the mod_jk..i turn it down both the iptables and SELinux..how can we fix this..if i let this firewalls turn off..my server will not be secure..any advice?

thanks!

Not a speific one.

For the firewall part, the list of port numbers that Scalix uses, is documented in the install guide; i believe you can selectively customize your firewall to harden the system.

The same is true for SELinux and you can just allow what's necessary.

These are advanced configurations and you'll need to apply some due diligence on those yourself.

Cheers,
Florian.
