Windows Guy in a world of Linux.

[newblood]

Hi

Thank you for looking at my post.

I am quite capable in windows, having set up a few Microsoft Exchange servers on SBS Server. The world of linux, however, makes me feel clueless. This is a appology for asking stupid questions, hoping that no one will remind me of how clueless I really am.

The setup: A single fedora core 4 server at this stage. I am experimenting with Scalix as a replacement for Microsoft Exchange.

I installed Fedora Core as in the installation Guide
I installed Scalix as in the installation Guide

Confirmation of the success of the installation (as in the guide) is rather dissappointing.

When I type "ps -ef | grep httpd" , the response is:

root 3544 3509 0 08:44 pts/2 00:00:00 grep httpd

is this correct?

Why I ask is when I go into my web browser, (http://localhost/) , I get message "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost."

Hopefully this will solve the other problems I have, as they all seam to be web related.

Thank you for reading my post, your reply is appreciated

by default, your Apache Web server has probably not been setup for auto-start and/or started.

1. Make sure it is started:

Code: Select all

service httpd start

2. Make sure it will be started after reboot:

Code: Select all

[root@sting ~]# chkconfig --list httpd
httpd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@sting ~]#

This is what you want to see. If you don't see those on's under "run-levels" 3, 4 and 5, do a

Code: Select all

chkconfig --level 345 httpd on

and you should be good to go.

BTW - I recommend switching to Fedora Core 5 and Scalix 11 (which was released yesterday) as this will make your life somewhat easier.

Thanks Florian, you were right. It solved my problem exactly and Apache seems to be up and running.

When I connect to http://localhost/ or any ip pointing to this machine, it works. However, as soon as I go for http://localhost/sac, it gives me this message: "Service Tempoarily Unavailable. The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again."

Once again, my lack of linux shines thru, as the manual clearly states that I should check the logfile at $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/caa.log. Wish I knew where it was. Help pls!

[florian]

ok, the most important thing to know now if your tomcat is running (I assume when the installer asked you if you wanted to install the JK apache tomcat connector, you answered yes)?

the easiest check is

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep java

if you don't see a process running, repeat the excercise with starting the service and adding it to the autostart services with the scalix-tomcat service:

Code: Select all

service scalix-tomcat start
chkconfig --list scalix-tomcat
chkconfig --level 345 scalix-tomcat on

The logfile you're looking for will be in /opt/scalix-tomcat/logs

Good luck,
Florian.

[newblood]

Thanks Florian

Yes, I did install the tomcat service. Unfortunately, the Tomcat service is started, so it seems my problem lies somwhere else. Any other ideas?

[florian]

Well, the next logical step would be to investigate into the Tomcat connector configuration and see if this works.

1. I assume that not only does SAC not work, but also you're unable to access the /webmail URL - correct?

2. Can you post the installer log? This would be found as /var/log/scalix-installer-......log (where the .... stand for the date and time of the install)

3. Would it be possible for you to consider re-installing this with Fedora Core 5 and Scalix 11? The new version would give you additional functionality, but also have a much smoother webserver integration.

Cheers,
Florian.

Hi Florian

Thanks once again for your quick response

1. Quite right, webmail does not work

3. Fedora Core 5 and Sipx11 would be fantastic, but , unfortunately to download 3GIG in South Africa is not quite as easy as in Germany. (or not for me) Got Fedora 4 off the local freedom toaster, and it is unfortunately the latest version available there. Downloading FC5 on my GPRS would be PAINFULL in deed. Would it be OK if we try to get this up and running a little bit?

In the log file you will see certain dns errors which I did rectify.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers
Anton

Hi Anton,

I stayed in Johannesburg February this year and had to pay a fortune for a really mediocre line in my 5-star hotel (8 hours of internet was about 50% of the room price) and a couple of people told me about bandwidth cost in your country, so I feel your pain. Good news, by the way, for you is that for Scalix 11 we have decoupled the Scalix packages by release, so instead of having to download the huge 200MB combined RHEL3/RHEL4/FC4 install we had for Scalix 10, you would now be down to a 90MB FC5 tarball.... might help a little when it becomes the time.

You log looks good actually. Let's see if this tomcat thing is listening. Can you execute a

Code: Select all

lsof -i :8009

on your server? If all is well, this should show the tomcat/java process listening on that TCP/IP port number. If not, please retry by replacing the port number with 8080 in the command.

Thx,
Florian.

Hi Forian
